Once again Michael, an excellent description of the LDS cult. I had LDS friends when I was in the Army and we would often have friendly arguments about true Christianity and the way Mormons believe.
Between speaking with them and some research on my own I'd like to add a couple of things they believe, one being the family stays intact in Heaven. The Bible doesn't say that although it does say we will be recognizable to each other, but worshiping the Lord will be our primary joy.
Added to that part is, the _man remains the head of the family and that he (and other males) can become perfect like Jesus and God and are then given permission by God to create their own universes.
That in itself is ridiculous and blasphemous, and how they sort the generations of males (once again) out I haven't found out yet. The man is the head of the house on Earth and all the family must obey him and someone like a block captain (in Neighborhood Watch) and the elders (all men). They have 'spies' that watch people's behavior and report it to the block captain if its not in keeping with their rules and laws.
Notice that I've emphasized men above because LDS women have none of the same opportunities in Heaven as the men do. Nor do they have much say-so here on Earth either.
Women in the Mormon church are second-rate and have to obey essentially all other Mormon men but especially their husbands and the elders.
When I learned the above I was very upset because my mother was a strong woman and a wonderful Christian and had as much to say and do about family matters, though her and my father's roles were different, and we all knew and accepted that. I couldn't picture my mother as a Mormon wife and she and I talked about that more than once.
I'm stressing women in my statement because their roles and input in Christianity are so different than the Mormons and I want the ladies who read this to know not to be fooled by LDS missionaries because they are well trained in deceiving us like Michael pointed out in his statement at the top of this discussion.
