Yep, especially islam.
And NOT worrying about a person's immortal soul shows how blind and apathetic a person is.
Now now.
The MORMON missionaires only soend ONE year of their lives out banging on doors.
And THEY surely never say how bad any other church than the MORMON one is!
Sorry; but you've posted inaccurately again.
If you REALLY want to get EVERY question answered; go HERE!
Talk about Bait-and-Switch!
The BoM contains NOTHING of MORMONism's rituals in it!
All of MORMONism's THEOLOGY is found in OTHER writings; but those friendly young folks NEVER ask you to 'pray about' them!
Sure they do!
Yep, especially islam.
svcw are you a Baptist?
AND do a few (ahem) other things that helps us with our salvation.
You are sure?
Headquarters in SLC will EXCOMMUNICATE their own MEMBERS for following MORMON 'scripture' found in D&C 132.
Won't even ALLOW them to be called MORMON!
How hypocritical is THAT?
Not to worry; for Official MORMON policy is to get all lovey dovey with them MUSLIMs!
Been to an 'interfaith' dinner yet?

Any Lurkers perusing this,
You need to look here. What you see above is a prime example of misleading anti-Mormon propaganda.
Heres a few links to get your started from a different viewpoint. I have found that the vast majority of the issues brought up in the anti-Mormon propaganda can be found and addressed at http://www.fairlds.org/ but heres more:

"Colorado City is a town with special significance for those of Foneta's faith. Together with its sister community of Hildale, Utah, it is the birthplace of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamous offshoot of the Mormon church, or LDS. Here in the 1920s and '30s, a handful of polygamous families settled astride the Utah-Arizona border after the leadership of the Mormon Church became increasingly determined to shed its polygamous past and be accepted by the American mainstream.
In 1935 the church gave settlement residents an ultimatum: renounce plural marriage or be excommunicated. Practically everyone refused and was cast out of the LDS."
I don't know if you subscribe to the Associated Press Style Guide up North but the guide clearly states that the term "Mormon" is not accurately applied to groups outside of the Salt Lake City-based LDS Church. Most AP stories make the differences between FLDS and LDS clear. Here's the entry:
"The term 'Mormon' is not properly applied to the other ... churches that resulted from the split after (Joseph) Smith's death." Along with National Geographic, other news outlets have successfully navigated the pitfalls of the "Mormon" term. When looking at the Spokane Spokesman-Review's coverage of the B.C. polygamist sect, respected investigative reporter Bill Morlin was able to clearly explain the difference.
3. You are not serving your readers. While some may argue it's just a "convention" or "shorthand," journalists ought to help their readers understand nuances in religious belief, not perpetuate over-generalizations or inaccuracies. Even the term "fundamentalist Mormon" really isn't accurate. If anyone practices polygamy in the LDS Church they are excommunicated. In this sense, if someone is excommunicated from the LDS, how can they still be called "Mormon?"
Elder Quentin L. Cook, an LDS apostle, said modern-day Mormons "have nothing whatsoever to do with this polygamous sect."
I will allow that FLDS members continue to call themselves Mormons...
Some will also argue that the FLDS and LDS use the same scriptures and have similar practices. For all intents and purposes they are separate bodies, with different leadership and their practices have certainly diverged since the 1920s (even earlier).
If Mormons are free to practice as you are, leave them alone!
“Mormonism is a cult.”
Jim Jones Temple was a cult. Heavens Gate was a cult. To include Mormonism is off-base.
Are you going to tell lds to recall 50,000+ missionaries who tell people daily that Christianity is apostate and that mormonism is the only true faith? So far you’ve been silent on that issue. Are you going to tell PD to stop posting mormon material trying to fool people into believing mormonism is Christian? I won’t hold my breath, I figure I already know your NONanswer.
Tommy was one of the big shots in Kane County
The best thing was that Fredonia Arizona is only five miles from Kanab. A natural way to run for the border.

Ah, that is the rub, now isn't it Renny.
For Christians to freely practice their own faith,
they must freely be able to defend it against the
heresies of groups like mormons who want to deceive
others and lead them to hell.
"And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.""For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve."
The Apostle Paul - 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
