The LDS have found a safe haven and a new breed of defenders in the current Oprah fad version of all paths are correct Christianity.

They sleep with they wayward great great grandchildren of the Whore of Babylon and use them accordingly...

Irony abounds.

The LDS have found a safe haven and a new breed of defenders in the current Oprah fad version of all paths are correct Christianity.

Indeed descriptive of MormonISM's allies. (In contrast to those who have friends who are Mormon...the distinction being the same as having homosexual friends, yet there are some allies of homosexual activists who argue their cause...that's the difference between lovingly embracing both homosexuals and Mormons -- while embracing neither of their causes...many FREEPERS cannot or will not discern the difference).

They sleep with they wayward great great grandchildren of the Whore of Babylon and use them accordingly...Irony abounds.

By this, I assume you are pointing more to Mormons themselves. Here their leaders label us up & down as...
...the "Whore of Babylon" (Lds apostles have like Orson Pratt, ancestor of Mitt Romney);
...as "of Anti-christ" (Brigham Young);
...as "blasphemers" (Spencer W. Kimball);
as "apostates" (Lds leaders galore)...
...yet ironically, they say in the same breath, "we're one, too!" (What? You're a "Christian-whore of Babylon-of Anti-christ-blasphemer-apostate, too!")

Of course, they don't usually mean the whole baggage. But how they parse it all to either strip us of our entire identity, or simply play theological games where they ignore what their leaders have said about us, I don't understand it all...
...But I guess, otherwise, their "oppressed & persecuted victim" sob story doesn't sell very well once it gets out all the different labels with which they've slandered the worldwide Church of Christ!

Irony abounds

Indeed, also in another way. Here, Reno was accusing us of "not spend[ing] their time preaching what they believe" and instead "tearing down what others believe not promoting our own beliefs"
-- yet it doesn't seem to click with them that unless...
...Joseph Smith...
...killed Rev. Green...
...in the Hall...
...with a monkey wrench [Note: in the UK version of "Clue," "Mr. Green" is known as "Rev. Green"],
...then no restoration...
...no new prophet...
...no new authority...
...no new keys of the kingdom...
...no new church...
...were needed! (It 'twas all superflous and unnecessary).

So Smith not only had to try to...
...kill Rev. Green...
...in the Hall...
...with a monkey wrench,
...BUT to paint Rev. Green and his fellow leaders as apostates...
...And not only leaders, but all professing Christians (hence Smith's description of ALL Christian "professors" as "corrupt" in his later versions of the First Vision).

And so, from the very get-go, even the Book of Mormon, Smith was on the attack of the Christian church. (If anybody doesn't believe my words, I openly challenge you to read them for yourself. Here, I'll give you some "homework"):
Book of Mormon:
1 Nephi 13:5
1 Nephi 13:6
1 Nephi 13:8
1 Nephi 13:26
1 Nephi 13:28
1 Nephi 13:32
1 Nephi 14:9
1 Nephi 14:10
1 Nephi 14:17
2 Nephi 6:12
4 Nephi 1:27-28
Doctrine & Covenants:
D&C 10:56
D&C 18:20
D&C 29:21
D&C 88:94

(And, Lds, don't give me "Just" look what Smith was enduring @ the hands of Missouri-ites "woe is me" sob stories with regard to the above passages, because ALL of these passages were Smith-sourced BEFORE any major Missouri problems--that last verse above was late 1832...and all but that last one were sourced by September, 1830).

Smith decided he was going to try to personally dismantle the worldwide Church of Christ in 1830! What gall Mormons have to either ignore all of these passages, or to somehow claim we don't have a right to defend the Christian church against these broadside attacks that have come direct from Mormon sources for 180 years!!!!

"For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another; but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life."
(Titus 3:3-7)
