Ok, so when you were approached and the Christian immediately condemned you to hell, what was your reaction?
Everytime I have seen this done, they call the cops because they think you are nuts. They want you off their property and no closer than 1500 yards.
Did he really condemn you right away or did they ask you to come to a church picnic to get exposed to the community within the Church?

It made me mad. And he condemned me right away. I went into a Christian bookstore in Provo with my BYU shirt on to order a KJV Apocrypha to prove the Bible was wrong. The Mormon bookstore wouldn’t order one for me and there was no Catholic bookstore in town.
No niceties, no church picnic - nothing. Just flat out telling me what was wrong with Mormonism and how it contradicted the Bible. Flat out I was going to Hell if I stayed Mormon.
It made me mad, but it also got me mad enough to try to prove him wrong and Mormonism right and what I discovered was the Mormon church was lying and he was telling me the truth. He was a the first person to not try to ‘love me to the Lord’ but tell me the truth and he was the one who got through to me.
Szonian on FR has a similar story. He left Mormonism and became a Christian because of threads just like this one. And he isn’t the only one on here. We have had at least 3 leave Mormonism because of these ‘attacks’ as you call them and at least one person reconsider joining Mormonism.
