What are the fruits that Mormons bear? Good fruit or bad? That is the real question. At least for me anyway. Its great to be aware of erroneous teaching, and to make others aware, but if a bunch of mormons moved into my neighborhood I would thank them profusely for improving my home value.

Nice Oprah Americanism there...to whittle down "fruits" by defining it only economically!

Did it ever dawn on you that the real estate of heaven just might prove to be a tad more important than the value of your neighborhood real estate?

Not one has ever told me that orthodox Christianity is an abomination or whoredom. That may be written in the discourses, but your everyday Mormon does not spread such venom, and I doubt they even know about it.

Yeah, we know
-- The typical Lds philosophy we hear:
"Speak softly and carry a big Pearl of Great Price stick"...
...And for your info, both the Pearl of Great Price and the Book of Mormon -- specifically 1 Nephi -- both which indeed points to Christians as part of that "whoredom" of which you speak...
...Is hardly tucked away in some "Journal of Discourses" somewhere.

Those are Mormon "scriptures" which they are replicating by the millions in hundreds of languages as you sleep. And what? Do you think these things print themselves? Or could it be that the Mormon wallet of your neighbors pay for these things?

Oh, & definition of a 'big Pearl of Great Price stick':
"You Christian sects are 100% wrong;
100% apostates;
100% creedally putrid;
100% corrupt as believers...
...Signed: Cordially, your "nice" Mormon neighbor
P.S. "Of course, we'll be polite & use Lds missionary doorstep language like 'universal apostasy' instead of pointing our fingers right @ you..."
"...and we'll fund the outer darkness out of hundreds of different Pearl of Great Price translations which mention ALL of the above...so our 'big stick' will seem once-removed..."
"...But make no mistake about it, we've sent out literally over 1 million Lds missionaries who've carried this 'Big Stick' around the world!!!"

...I doubt they even know about it.

Hey, be careful in your open export of such ignorance.

The statements I made above re: the Mormon references to ALL Christians as "corrupt..." ...ALL creeds as an "abomination..." etc. comes from the very foundation of the Mormon faith -- the so-called "First Vision" of Joseph Smith, which every Mormon of a certain age knows. Google it yourself: "Joseph Smith History" + "Pearl of Great Price"...read verses 18-20.
