Lord have mercy, I could only make it to five minutes!!! LOL!
Honestly, I think for as much as LDS complain about these rude imbeciles, and they are rude imbeciles, I think LDS really like having these kind of anti-mormons around. They're easy to refute. Kind of like the slathering poster-boy, and it's the modern badge of persecution. (I think modern LDS have inferiority complexes in comparison to early pioneer LDS)
My approach to Mormonism, since I've left, has been that I leave them alone as long as they do not deliberately come to a forum that is expressly designed for interaction between LDS and critics. I don't contact members in anyway, nor do I contact the ward, leaders, or SLC.
But when someone comes to a place like this, they're usually looking for information or reconsidering their beliefs, or like debating critics. Those people shouldn't be "left alone", because they deliberately sought out interaction.
As I recently pointed out on another thread, given how many times LDS members have contacted me (as missionaries or in their callings to "reach out") since I've left, I've done a far better job than they have in leaving one another alone. And I even specifically requested no contact.

Wow. I never cease to be amazed by people hurting their religion while thinking they're helping it. That dude was a moron.

All I can think of here is, "Lord, save me from your followers."
