re: I also lived in Utah and was LDS)))

Uh, huh.

I'm breaking my rule. I was going to get out of here.

These were young people I talked to, tweens and teebs, not adults. If people proclaim the power of Jesus Christ, I don't think they're lying just to fool me. And if taquiyeh is doctrine in Mormonism, I missed that.

The Articles of Faith
of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may
We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

If people proclaim the power of Jesus Christ, I don't think they're lying just to fool me.

And if they proclaim the 'power' of their church?

Inmen,

Someone chime in if they want to add or correct the following..

At that age they have already had years of mormon doctrine in “primary” (mormon Sunday School and childrens church)

The boys became mormon priests at age 12 and attended “priesthood” meetings ay least once a week

The boys were members of mormon boy scouts for years where they were taught to be mormon missionaries

During high school or before they had to go to mormon educational classes every morning BEFORE school.. (cant remember the term)

Indoctrtination starts early in mormonism and the minds of mnush of the children is satuated with it...

Heres a living example...

When my children were young we went to church next to a mormon ward house...

as we came in fron the parking lot the mormon children would line the fence and “cat call” to my children and the other Christian families..

The mormon children would shout “Youre goung to Hell because youre not a mormon” etc

The Mormon adults would stand back closer to their building and egg the children on

My 2 year old daughter would scream with fright and the mormons would laugh at her...
