Thanks Robin,
very useful background info on Mormonism. I will show this to my brother Richard since he has a friend who converted from Christianity to LDS.

please watch and read this! http://sethadamsmith.blogspot.com/2011/03/did-joseph-smith-write-book-of-mormon.html

Even if no one else will read this- you will!

have you read Joseph Smith: rough stone rolling? Maybe you should. It's historical for the believer and non- believer alike.

Robin,
Lots of historical background detail here, more then I've read in most other articles.

The last point you made about the close knit communal/familial aspect to Mormonism made me think of an interesting irony.

The protestant reformers relinquished their participation in a universal family by opting for an autonomous self-reliance. Perhaps Mormonism, offering this very communal aspect to religion, filled the void missing from the early American Protestant settlers. In a strange twist of irony, the very thing Protestantism relinquished became the most attractive aspect of Mormonism.

Mormonism is such a crock pot full of baloney that it strains my credulity to believe that anyone could believe in such utter nonsense, but they do.
