He was a college student who appeared to be very clean cut and conservative. Americans for Prosperity are Never Trumpers who claim if Trump is the candidate Joe Biden will win in a landslide. I spent about 5 minutes talking to him and I bet he no longer works for them. I will detail our conversation in the comments.

Mormonism cracks me up. There were no horses nor fields of wheat in North America until the Spaniards came. Indians did not have swords and chariots either. The whole thing is a sham and I can forgive the first generation of dupes who bought into it. Nobody at the time had heard of the Rosetta Stone, so Smith could have claimed anything about the Egyptian Book of the Dead and nobody would have been the wiser. In this day and age though, just a bit of research and common sense can help anyone see through that con job. If the LDS church really believed their own crap, all they would have to do is start a bit of an archaeological dig at the Hill Cumorah where butthundred godzillion people supposedly died in an epic battle on that tiny little hill. Dig up those ancient American swords and chariots and prove us all wrong. They won't.
Or just have them watch the South Park video.
Still, they’re better at following a lot of Christian tenets than a lot of Christians are. Give em their credit.
I've had a few former Mormons join my church.
Their families disowned them. It's a bad cult and the social pressures put on their members is extreme. They have had a hundred years to practice these pressures. They do lose a lot of members, but their evil is adequate enough that they are still growing.
Of course the leaders of the "church" don't believe their own crap. They couldn't keep up the lies if they did.
The young men don't know any of this yet. The older men either choose not to know or choose not to do anything about it.
Yeah, it's a cult. They actively encourage divorcing spouses who leave the church. They are told to disown their own family members. I've known a few ex-Mormons who have lost their families as a result of becoming Christian. That's the sad thing about them claiming to be "Christian." That's what they say, but if one of them becomes Christian, they disown him/her. JWs are the same.
The thing about Watchtower/JWs is that every time their Watchtower predicts Christ's return and it doesn't happen, they strike it from the record and pretend it never happened. In this day of internet connection though, information cannot be so easily controlled as it was a hundred years ago.
