I agree on the polygamy issue. Their entire gospel rests on it. However over the years many mormon doctrines have changed in order to make the religion more palatable to christians. They whitewash their history, and they are able to curve their teachings by modern day prophecy as they claim their current leader to be a modern prophet. One big example of this is huge changes in their temple ceremonies from what they were originally taught was absolutely needed to enter the celestial kingdom of heaven. Many of those things are no longer required, but tithing is a steadfast requirement. The whole thing is just weird. I did enjoy the youth programs as a kid growing up in it. Scouting, sports, many activities.
