Yes. It is possible to understand the Mormon worldview
________________________________________
Mormonism is modeled on Islam...
Mohammad or the sword
Joey Smith or the sword...
world domination, terrorism, tyranny, kill everyone who disagrees..
but that is not God...
This why there are so many converts every year.

Kid Mormonism has one huge hemorage...
more leave and escape from mormonism than are conned into joining...
most of the “new members” are born into mormon families...
the biggest “enemy” that mormonism has now is the Internet...
the actual hateful unGodly words of Joey Smith, Briggie Young, John Taylor, etc are exposed there for all to see...
Who would want to join the KKK or become a psuedo Moslem ???
the sick anti-Christian words of the Mormon leaders are a turn off to decent people..
Let's start with the "better than Abraham did at Sodom." Now there's a standard to measure "missionary" work by!
But ya know, comparing Mormon missionary work, which is often more about initiating conversations than building real relationships, to Christian missionary work -- which is ALL about building long-term relationships is the reason I put the "quotations" around "missionary" in the above paragraph.
To their credit, Mormon leaders themselves often describe missionary work as more "proselytization" (vs. evangelizing). Mormon mishies are more proselyting for converts -- however short-term those converts remain -- vs. really spreading any type of "Good News" (the literal meaning of "Evangel")
The Mormon narrative is that...
...we were all just as eternal as Heavenly Father (living as "spirits")
...but somehow that reality wasn't "enough" -- so Mormons needed to be "born as spirits" to mom and dad "gods" on a planet near the star Kolob...
So, thus far, we have Mormon pre-existent bodiless spirits, right?
So, the Mormon gods send these spirits, the Mormon narrative goes, to inhabit bodies on this planet.
So they were already Mormon spirits in the pre-existence...but now the Mormon gods have to make them Mormons again, eh? (Boy, that's a tough "conversion" process...making Mormons out of people who forgot they were Mormons to begin with)
Then, if that missionary enterprise failed...which inevitably it does given the worldwide Mormon organization comprises such a microscopic percentile command of the world population...the Mormon hierarchy implements its stupendous back-up plan:
Why we Mormon gen authorities just send "spirit missionaries" to the Spirit World, of course!
(UnMormoned, I kid you not...Lds leaders talk about this...based upon a dream that a 80 year old man had just weeks before he himself was to follow close family members in death...see LDS Vision of the dead claimed as ‘revelation’ on Halloween, 1918 [The OTHER World Series: Vanity])
Then -- at about the same time -- you've got Mormon teens doing drive-thru dunkings about 40 at a time not only to try to gain ground on the people who are dying daily around the world, but to make up for the centuries that the Mormon gods failed to place the Mormon church on earth...
...yet because so few Mormon teens are available in comparison to the population totals of all time on Planet Earth...
...not to mention that a great # of people lived with no recorded history of who they were...
...the OVERALL Mormon CONVERSION process is falling behind with every tick of the clock!!!!
Because of these considerations, StormPrepper, you've actually utterly failed to give a proper "overview" of the vast entirety of the "Mormon mission field"...at least from the Mormon worldview perspective! In fact, ratio-wise, the Mormon mission field actually has to do more with the dead than with the living!!!!
Oh, yeah...they've got to go into the "Spirit World" to "proselytize" spirits to become Mormons...
...who've found out for themselves, "Oh, there REALLY IS life after death!" (Wow! How tough is that?) And, perhaps they've come around anyway -- without the help of any given Lds 'spirit missionary' -- to recall, 'Oh, yeah, I DID grow up as a 'little spirit' in Kolobville. Why, my prodigal spirit will just return there.'"
If these once-upon-a-time spirit 'Mormons' don't live as Mormons on earth...
...why, they'll just remember they were Mormons, anyway, eventually...
...all as they were proxy-baptized for...
...becoming eventual spirit Mormons in the Spirit World...
...all minus the "help" of any embodied tie-and-suit missionary!
Hence, hey...Just call off the flesh-and-body missionaries!
The Mormon church just needs to ramp up the Dunkin'-Dough-Nuts runnin' those Mormon temples! Why, that'll be enough to bring all those Mormon prodigal spirits back home!!!
