Did Jesus walk up to Prostitutes and say you are going to hell, or did he have another way of bring people to God.

Convincing Mormons that there IS a Hell (they don’t really have one they are Universalists) and that the Mormon church and good works won’t get them to the highest Heaven (they have 3) is the first step in getting them out.
Mormons perceive everything that is not a glowing endorsement of their religion to be an ‘attack’. Most often shock works. It did for me and for others I know. Sadly, Mormons are so brainwashed that you have to hit them over the head with the problems of Mormonism to get them to think and not just give the pat answers the LDS church spoon feeds them. Losing your Mormon faith can be brutal, but those who have left know the pain and the anger was worth it to break free of their chains.
Pinging a few other ex-mormons on here.
I haven’t ever seen a direct confrontation work on a believing Mormon.
I have seen that work on someone that was a Mormon only because their family is or in their community they are expected to be Mormon .. that isn’t really the issue. We had a guy that was a Mormon all his life, but when his parents died, he joined a regular church.
He was only Mormon to honor his Father and Mother and never took this belief system seriously. You might say, he was a closet Evangelical Christian.
