The movement had many offshoots . Yes it came first but it provided fodder for the LDS
It's a "so what" from me on your observation above. Why not make your observation meaningful ........ in your battle against Mormonism. Pursue this observation. Learn about the Restoration Movement. If you really understand the RM, the connection it had with a number of first generation Mormons, you could demonstrate the connection between a Movement that is obviously Christian and one which moved in a different direction. I beleieve that info could be used with degree of convincibility -- more so than what you do now. Presently, I see you arguing with Dave and Blaine about issues that assume specific issues on their part -- issues that are never dealt wiith. Your postings are interesting to me, even informative, but, for the most part, they do not get to the heart of the disagreement between Mormonism and Mainstream Christianity.
