I don’t understand why I hear so many attacks towards Mormons and JW’s.

I certainly do not hold their theology, but they are pretty much as harmless to our culture. From what I see, the largest, and most dangerous religion of today is liberal secularism.

Most JW’s and Mormons tend to have strong conservative family values.

I wish I could have every member of a “Church of Christ” church or Methodist church replaced with a Mormon or JW.

From a mormon...

“I certainly do not hold their theology, but they are pretty much as harmless to our culture.”

Culture is a minor concern compared to the deception of mormonism or JWism that can send a soul to hell for eternity...

Don't we take our cultural cue from a certain "Lord" named Jesus Christ? Who are we to follow when it comes to setting cultural priorities? Jesus? or you?

Here's Jesus:

"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him." (Luke 12:4-5)

So does Jesus say, "fear liberal secularism?" (No)
Instead, does He say to exercise fear of the One who has authority to cast somebody into hell? (Yes)
So, indeed, our "fear" is on behalf of those who are placing their eternal spiritual lives at risk.

(Besides, others of us actually know how to multi-task in opposing counterfeit worldviews.)

...they are pretty much as harmless to our culture.

#1...False shepherds & personality cults (Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, etc.) have NEVER been harmless to the culture of God's kingdom...

The apostle Paul's perspective:

28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears. (Acts 20)

#2...Cults leading some to the "culture of hell" is quite problematic...hell's a place where the fires will make earth's problems look like a simple backyard bonfire.

No one is attacking the Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses. What is being attacked is their doctrine. False doctrine is false doctrine whether it is presented by the Mormons, the Jehovah Witnesses, or liberal secularists. None of them will save your soul, so in that sense, all are equally dangerous.
