You KNOW the truth? Have you read through the Journal of Discourses and agree with what your leadership have taught? Let me give you a couple of examples, quoted directly from your religion's source materials:

"We may talk of men being redeemed by the efficacy of his [Christ's] blood; but the truth is that that blood has no efficacy to wash away our sins. That must depend upon our own action." [ LDS Apostle Amasa M. Lyman, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 299, 1859]

“...you have to learn to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done before you, - namely, by going from one small degree to another...” [Journal of Discourses Vol. 6 Page 4, 1844. Joseph Smith]

"Jesus was the bridegroom at the marriage of Cana of Galilee...We say it was Jesus Christ who was married, to be brought into relation whereby he could see his seed [children] before he was crucified [Orson Hyde, Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p. 82].

"In the Church councils, it was spoken of: "Joseph F. Smith_ He spoke upon the marriage in Cana of Galilee. He thought Jesus was the bridegroom and Mary and Martha the brides."(Journal of Wilford Woodruff, July 22, 1883).

In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it. [Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 5, 1844]

I will go back to the beginning, before the world was, to show what kind of a being God is. What sort of a being was God in the beginning? Open your ears and hear, all ye ends of the earth; for I am going to prove it to you by the Bible, and to tell you the designs of God in relation to the human race, and why he interferes with the affairs of man. God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted Man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. That is the great secret. [Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 3, 1844]

"The grand reason of the burst of public sentiment in anathemas upon Christ and his disciples, causing his crucifixion, was evidently based upon polygamy, according to the testimony of the philosophers who rose in that age. A belief in doctrine of a plurality of wives caused the persecution of Jesus and his followers. We might almost think they were Mormons [Jedediah Grant, Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, p. 346]

That last one should be enough for you to realize you not only don't know the truth about MormonISM, you don't want to know the truth either. Blasphemies such as quoted above are the essence of 'using the Lord's Name in vane'. LDSinc demote Jesus and God. THAT is the truth and we can prove it by merely quoting from the leadership of this antiChristian cult.

Perhaps you would look at the few quotes ... and there are literally hundreds of other quotes we can use if you will but read what your leadership has been teaching for doctrine.
