Here is LDS's own Dan Peterson for y'all: "But we may have become complacent. Don't we send out full-time missionaries? Isn't that enough? Aren't we "the fastest growing religion"? Actually, we're not. Church growth has been falling for many years, and our current rate of missionary success is the lowest it's been for decades." Daniel C. Peterson For Mormon Times in Deseret News April 7, 2011

Polygamy IS an "abomination of the Lord" as clearly stated in the BoM; Jacob 2:23-24 and the reason WHY the Nephites were destroyed. Joseph Smith was WARNED against his "CARNAL DESIRES" D&C 3-11 or "he would fall" which is what did happen! The Lord's House needs to be cleansed from polygamy, satanic masonry, altering the BoM (changed the identity of God), etc. Polygamy has never been of God no matter WHO practiced it; Joseph Smith, BY, etc. Very wicked. Read Ann Eliza Young's "The 19th Wife)...

Check out "The LDS Awakening" video. It documents how the tornado that ripped through Salt Lake in 1999 was a sign that God was not pleased with the church for abandoning sacred truths revealed by Joseph Smith.

The Internet is a tool, and Christians can use it to show the truth of Christ, to Mormons or anyone who will open their heart to Jesus.
