In addition to the material I have covered on differences between Mormon doctrine and orthodox Christian doctrine, there are many other problems with Mormonism. Even this list is not exhaustive, but these topics should be investigated by anyone who might be considering joining the LDS church.

A. Questions about the Book of Mormon

• total lack of archeological support
• contradictions with other LDS scriptures
• abundant plaigarism of the KJV Bible
• key changes were made to the original version
• curious similarities to contemporaneous works of fiction
• confessions and defections of the other witnesses

B. Questions about Joseph Smith's credibility:

• comparisons of himself to Jesus
• contradictions in accounts of his first vision
• his suspicious past and character
• false prophecies he made
• both sides of the story of his 'martydom' and early LDS persecution
• Smith's reliability as a translator - the failed test of the Book of Abraham
• Smith's 'inspired'version of the Bible

C. Questions about the integrity of other Mormon Prophets

• major changes in Mormon doctrine and revelation
• polygamy, role of blacks, blood atonement
• deceptions by the LDS church
• changes in prophecy
• secret ceremonies and masonry

Others are better qualified to comprehensively address these issue so I will simply point to other sources. Much useful material can be found on the Internet and a list of the sites that I have found most useful is given below.
