Thank you for that tip, too. I may have to use my newfound cheat, lol.

What I find interesting is, for the vast majority of those who use to Mainstream Christians before joining the Church, once they join the Church, they don’t continually harp on the members of their former church.

(Hey, that's what a good chunk of their Mormon tithe goes for...'tis known as the "ministry" of "Speaking softly and carrying a big Lds.org, Pearl of Great Price, D&C, & Book of Mormon stick")

Definition of this stick:
"...every spirit that does not confess that God has sent Joseph Smith, and revealed the everlasting Gospel to and through him, is of Antichrist..." (Brigham Young, Discourses of Brigham Young, p. 435)
"You Christian sects are 100% wrong"; (Pearl of GP)
"You Christian sects are 100% apostate"; (Lds leaders)
"You Christians are 100% creedally putrid"; (Pearl of GP)
"You Christians are 100% corrupt as believers..." (Pearl of GP; Lds "prophet" McKay: "The church became corrupt")
"The Christian church is false & dead" (Lds "prophets" Hinckley & Taylor; D&C 1:30)
"...blasphemous are they who purport to baptize, bless, marry, or perform other sacraments in the name of the Lord while in fact lacking his specific authorization..." (Lds "prophet" Spencer W. Kimball in labeling all Christian leaders who baptize, marry & perform sacraments as blasphemers!!!)

...Signed: Cordially, your "nice" Mormon neighbor

P.S. "Of course, we grassroots Mormons will be polite & use Lds missionary doorstep language like 'universal apostasy' instead of pointing our fingers right @ you..."
"...and we'll fund the outer darkness out of hundreds of books which are chock full of quotes of our "prophets"...of different Pearl of Great Price translations...of online articles & curricula, etc...which mention all of the above in order to slander the outer darkness out of you Christians...so our 'big stick' will seem once-removed..."
"...But make no mistake about it, we've sent out literally over 1 million Lds missionaries who've wielded an extension of this 'Big Stick' around the world!!!"

Details, details.

I “feel” like Smith was a prophet despite his batting average...
