If you want to learn about the Mormon Cult, it has a lot of significance. It is best, if you want to learn quickly, to learn the teachings of Mormonism as well because simply reading it may or may not lead to the same conclusions the Mormons have.

It's a mormon apologetics website, where they are attempting to defend mormonism.
Mormons believe in more gods than the Greeks and the Egyptians.

The facts that the LDS do not believe the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one in substance, and believe in deification/theosis (that humans may eventually become deified and become partakers in the divine nature), has been used to paint Mormons as polytheists. When we examine the technical terminology above, though, it becomes clear that a key point of demarcation is worship versus acknowledgment of existence. If members of the Church worshiped an extensive pantheon like the Greeks or Romans, then the label would be appropriate. In the context of doctrinal differences over the relationship among the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, however, or the doctrine of deification (which is a profoundly Christian doctrine and not just a Mormon one), use of the word "polytheistic" as a pejorative is both inaccurate and inappropriate.

This is a very useful resource too.

I don't think everything on it is top priority. Ministry efforts tend to assess everything, which is good, but they need to highlight important issues to really drive home with cultists. For example, I was at a country church and the preacher complained about Jehovah Witnesses because they didn't celebrate birthdays.
Way to pick the big stuff, right?
With JW's you want to focus on the diety of Christ rather than the 144,000 and all that.

Once I tried reading it! Each time I tried there was a real headache (very rare, because I´m commonly healthy). I try to compare it to the Bible, to see where the "copy" was, but I think something stopped me to read it and, since it was a real newbrand book, I used it sheets to burn woods each time I needed a fire.
