Thank you for your kind comments. But I am not sure how I misquote McConkie here. I believe he was positive about the following: “Our bookstores do not contain anti-anybody literature, we do not attack those of other faiths in our missionary lesson plan, nor do we do so in our church services or in any class sponsored by the Church.”
At the same time, in his message he did question the level of accommodation some Mormons seem to make with evangelicals and others. What makes you think that he was lamenting in the section I quoted?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you misquoted Joseph Fielding McConkie. He was speaking negatively of the disposition of many in his own religion to be inappropriately “tolerant.” The two articles he wrote in Meridian are a great testimony to the fact that there are some within Mormonism who are fully cognizant of the effort to mainstream. McConkie, like Bruce McConkie, isn't very favorable toward this.

James White has produced a very helpful Scripture memorization system to use when witnessing to Mormons. I believe that you will find it useful.
Regarding general information on witnessing to Mormons, I love Mark Cares' materials. His web site has a lot of information (unfortunately, it is rarely updated and not formatted well), and his book–Speaking the Truth in Love to Mormons–is a must read!

To neglect the evagelization of Mormons is equal to not caring if they face God's judgement. Some Mormons want to play the postmodern card when faced with a Christian apologetic even though, as you said, their whole religion is based on the rejection of the Christian church.
I am in a continuing e-mail dialogue with a Mormon friend and I become discouraged at times due to his rejection against the clear teaching of Scripture for a distorted view of Jesus Christ. We have covered many points of doctrine and many passages at this point, but he has not yet submitted to the Word of God. Do you have any suggestions on what passages of Scripture have been the most helpful in discussing truth with a strong follower of Mormonism?
Thanks.
