One of the problems has been that the anti-Mormons tend to say “Mormons believe....” which is not always true. If they do believe some of that stuff, they hide it. As best I can tell,the LDS church is run like an MLM. The uplines know a lot about the church. The downlines aren’t as well-versed, especially if they are later converts. They aren’t exactly sitting around reading D&C and Pearl. My LDS neighbor said they will barely read the BOM. That’s why they have to push it.
The difference between Mormons and Protestants is that Mormons don’t feel comfortable criticizing their church (or any church publicly). Protestants treat it like a sacrament.

Anti-Mormons? What do you mean by that statement? Do you mean Pro-Christian, perhaps? ...or Truth-tellers?

Why is it necessary to attach such a label to those who try to expose the truths about Mormonism?

Perhaps it is like those who label haters of abortion as ‘anti-choicers.’..... Making a positive a negative.

The difference between Mormons and Protestants
____________________________________________

I believe you mean “Mormons and CHRISTIANS”

your words could be misconscued to mean that Catholics are in agreement with Mormons...

or even that Mormon might be Christians...just another branch.,..

Which of course they are not...

The differences between Mormons and Christians are several...

The main one being that Mormons do not believe in the Trinity...

They also do not believe that the LORD Jesus Christ is God and started out as God...

That He shed His Blood on the Cross to save us and died on the Cross and was resurrected...

They do not believe that Mary was a virgin when she concived Jesus...

They believe that their own mormon gods started as men and were good enough to evolve into gods...

and that they were all polygamists...

They believe that there are goddess wives of their gods giving birth to spirit babies who then come to Earth and are born as humans..

The differences in doctrines between Mormonism and Christianity are numerous...

including the one that their jesus never managed to keep his “church” from failing...

and that a mere man Joey Smith had to rescue the mormon “church” for the Mormon jesus 1800 years after it was started...and lost..

The mormons believe that even after death a person can be “atoned” into the Mormon religion...

The Mormons also discount the Christian Bible as untrue and replace it with their book of mormon as the real “truth”

Mormonism is not Christianity...

BTW Would you also call us anti-Islamics ???

It's mostly a sacrament on the FR Rel Forum. LOL.
