I’ve seen Mormons at work in Catholic countries and among Catholic immigrants. They give the impression that this is nothing but an American version of Christianity, so it has a lot of appeal to people who want to be or emulate Americans.

I read somewhere that they are actually told not to reveal their true beliefs when they are preaching. I saw them once in Spain, singing American Christmas carols and acting as if the were just like the Baptists (who also recruit heavily in Catholic countries, again, because people there regard it is being modern and American).

They also sponsor and host a lot of Nativity scenes and things like that, even though of course they do not believe in the Incarnation. I am very interested in Nativity scenes, and I was a member of a national Nativity scene organization that was essentially taken over by the Mormons for their own purposes.

I’ve also seen them in Miami and many other places where there are Hispanic and Haitian immigrants, and again, they come across just like any Evangelicals. I think there’s a lack of truth in advertising there...

That is true, they are formally taught how to mislead, redirect, and lie, so that they can gradually turn a convert, knowing that a too early slip would turn a cult seduction into an hilarious farce, which even the least knowledgeable Christians would scoff at and mock.

There is a video of one of their professors teaching it, and calling it "milk before meat" one piece of the training is to not answer the question the subject asks, but the question that they should have asked, you will see these techniques used here by Mormons.
