Which does explain why some are targeted in the first place. Mormons especially target the unsuspecting and those who know little of the scriptures. Just enough to say they are Christians....... which then the Mormon recruiter knows he can leave his book of Mormon with them...and use various Christian verbiage to entice them into their fold. They do this because it works on those who are not grounded in the scripture truths to begin with...and or have stunted growth in the things of the Lord.
Just as the educational system has been targeted by Liberals and Homosexuals to deceive and teach our youth to accept their agenda....so too Mormons go after those who are only just beginning to take in "the milk" of Gods word or are outside the Christian community.
"Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee"

That is exactly it. When I was training for a Mormon mission, the professor (it was a prep class at BYU) told us to avoid those who knew their Bible because they would just confuse us and instead go after those going through change of life (marriage, divorce, death) and the ‘unchurched’. Basically we were taught to seek out the weak and nominal Christians.
I was told of one instance where Mormon missionaries would stand outside a evangelical church and give out tracts to new Christians (the church handed out specific bibles to new believers which my old church did as well). I don’t know if this is true or not, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
