Mormans have said that they never bash any other churches. They take pride in that. But look at their leaders statements over the years…..
1. "I was answered that I must join none of them (Christian churches), for they were all wrong…their creeds were an abomination in [God’s] sight; that those professors were all corrupt" (Joseph Smith—History 1:19). 2. "Orthodox Christian views of God are pagan rather than Christian" (Mormon Doctrine of Deity, B. H. Roberts [General Authority], 116). 3. "Are Christians ignorant? Yes, as ignorant of the things of God as the brute beast" (Journal of Discourses, John Taylor [3rd Mormon President], 13:225). 4. "The Roman Catholic, Greek, and Protestant church, is the great corrupt, ecclesiastical power, represented by great Babylon" (Orson Pratt, Writings of an Apostle, Orson Pratt, n. 6, 84). 5. "All the priests who adhere to the sectarian [Christian] religions of the day with all their followers, without one exception, receive their portion with the devil and his angels" (The Elders Journal, Joseph Smith, ed. Vol. 1, n. 4, 60). 6. [Under the heading, "Church of the Devil," Apostle Bruce R. McConkie lists:] "The Roman Catholic Church specifically—singled out, set apart, described, and designated as being ‘most abominable above all other churches’ (I Ne. 13:5)" (Mormon Doctrine, 1958, 129). 7. "Believers in the doctrines of modern Christendom will reap damnation to their souls (Morm. 8; Moro. 8)" (Mormon Doctrine, 1966, Bruce R. McConkie, 177). Some contemporary Mormons, embarrassed—at least publicly—by McConkie’s ranting, will respond with, "That’s only his opinion." This is disingenuous at best. Keep in mind that McConkie, who died in 1985, was raised to the level of "apostle" in the Mormon church after he had written all these things. And still today, his Mormon Doctrine is published by a church-owned publishing company and remains one of the church’s bestsellers.
And if you want a really good example of how to speak with Mormons, about the Great Apostasy that they teach, go to

I love asking them - what did Jesus mean when He said, “I will not leave you orphans” and “… the gates of hell shall not prevail against my church”
Has anyone else read the book, The Search for the Golden Tablets? One of the elders in Salt Lake City had the idea they could convert everyone by finding archaeological evidence proving the Book of Mormon is truth. He researched and found all the places where they should find evidence of the events described. He was funded by the LDS church and went on expedition with a group of searchers. He searched everywhere and could not find a single artifact to support the Book of Mormon. He filed his report, the LDS church cut his funding, and would no longer support his efforts. He concluded the Book of Mormon was a fraud. He remained in the LDS church because he said it would hurt his mother if he left, essentially saying he was willing to live a lie to satisfy his mother. Brigham Young's granddaughter read the report and left the LDS church, saying that she refused to live a fraudulent life.
If you go to their website and just read the doctrines and decrees, the writings of Joseph Smith, you cannot help but come away convinced he was nothing but a con-artist, and he was certainly no Prophet of God.
