Sheesh..anyone living out west know lots of “Jack Mormons”...but since the second or third largest religious group in the US is lapsed/cafeteria catholics, I won’t point a finger at them.
Not all who leave are doctrinal problems: Many left due to a problem with the local bishop (similar to those who leave catholicism after meeting a bad priest).
I disagree with LDS theology, but I figure that those who blast the LDS will go on to blast the Catholics.
Poor logic. I am a former Catholic and I don't blast or bash them.

You are grossly incorrect on both points and your statement is VERBATIM of part of the pat mormon response (that has no bearing in truth) to why people leave Mormonism. Don’t drink the Kool-aid.
Ask any number of exmormons and none will tell you they left because they had a problem with the local bishop. They left because they no longer believed.
At least I always heard that....
Your church teaches that Mormons are not Christians, why aren’t the Catholics helping Christians instead of usually showing up to defend Mormonism.
To me the most common thing I see on Mormon threads and the used to be Romney threads, from Catholics , is first announce they are good Catholics, and then they proceed to start defending the cult. Atheists are big Mormonism defenders as well.
Not in THIS thread!
We recognize an attempt to get Catholics and Protestants going at it; while MORMONs slink away to lick their wounds.
Well, I waited a while to see if you’d reply to those who rebutted such a stupid and baseless comment.
So I’m going to weigh in a bit as an ex-mo.
I didn’t quit because of my “fragile psyche”, or a “problem with the bishop”, or “my feelings got hurt”. No, I quit because I found out that mormonism is heresy.
Your statement indicates that another has apparently fallen for the mindnumbing psychosis that SLC perpetrates on their members by laying ALL of the blame at the feet of those who quit mormonism. It couldn’t possibly be that mormonism is false.
But I wonder, what you would say to the women I know who are ex-mormon because they were ex-communicated? Why were they ex-communicated? Because their husbands were either cheating on them or abusing them and they dared to report it to church “authorities” and when that didn’t work, start divorce proceedings. Which got them promptly ex-communicated.
I guess, if one stretches their imagination pretty far, this could be classified as a “problem with the bishop”.
As to your “figuring” comment...you “figure” wrong. Mormonism is what we have a problem with. Have you seen many or any of us on a Catholic thread bashing Catholics?
It shouldn’t be too hard for you to prove your statement either true or false now, would it?
So, you'd support a religion that says, God was once man, he slept with Mary, Jesus is the brother of Satan, men will go onto become gods if they practice polygamy, woman can go to heaven and become celestial brides if their husband calls them up, etc... because you think protestants will attack Catholics?
LDS do not believe in the Holy Trinity as we do, in fact what they believe is actually the unpardonable sin.
