“This is the first ‘lie’
told by missionaries. It is intended to deceive.”
This is why I allowed for an exception to the first “lie.”
Nonetheless, I'm not really willing to generalize this, for reasons on which I've already written copiously in this thread.
However, you confirm that you believed the tenets of the LDS religion that you shared with others.
Thus, for “lies” 2 - 9, it seems hard to me to characterize them fairly as lies, at least not of those missionaries affirming them.
So, at best, we have 1 lies told by a Mormon missionary and 9 affirmed beliefs that the missionary later decided were false.

BTW, the author of the piece is giving a perspective from after being born again outside of Mormonism, looking back at what was done to support —as the author perceives them in retrospect— the lies of satanic origin which prop up Mormonism. In a spirit of ecumenism we can see why you would not want such things discussed openly.
NOW the missionary is just a LITTLE bit pregnant.
