Kent,
You’re right. There seems to be many similarities. For example:
- Both claim to be true church restored in America 19th century
- Both were started by charismatic leaders with a shady background
- Both have been persecuted by the mainstream churches
- Both believe that the pronouncements of their respective churches (WT literature, Mormon book) overrides the Bible
- Both have the same nonsensical approach to masturbation and oral/anal intercourse within the marriage (Who copied from whom?)
- Both practice a form a shunning especially to “opposers”
If I’m wrong about these, please correct me. That seems to be my perception of the Mormons but I do not claim to have the last word on them
