JD, Sorry you were turned off from Mormonism at such an early and impressionable age.  I am feeling you may have had some wrong impressions; however, you should have pursued your investigation, and questioned the motives of your minister, too.  Ministers have been the traditional enemies of Mormonism from the beginning--ie, The Joseph Smith Story, which tells us that even as a boy  (about your age when you first began looking into Mormonism),  he was often held up for ridicule by the ministers of his day.  Can you imagine ministers feeling so threatened by such a young lad that they felt they had to attack him from the pulpit?  Yet such was evidently the case.
