Does current Mormonism reflect the teachings of the Book of Mormon...?

Although it's troubling that the church doesn't really seem to believe much of the Good News preached in the Book of Mormon.

Incorrect again. Most other christians Telestially spend all their time commiserating over a dead Christ who doesn't speak anymore. We LDS are more concerned with applying his teachings and doctrines and living the life that Christ requires.

That includes learning secret handshakes and code words and paying 10%.
Do you believe in those?
Can you show me where Christ mentions those things?
Can you show me where Christ has 'spoken' recently?

The church hasn't heard from Jesus in more than 100 years. Is the Mormon Jesus dead now too?

Even IF I was able to provide all the answers it would never be enough for you guys. Your goal is to destroy faith not promote it. Just curious, where is the Truth if not in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?

In my heart and mind.

Wow. Loving, consentual sex is second only to murder. Where does torture land on the scale? Or slavery? How 'bout lying to people to fraud them out of thousands of dollars?

You have obviously bought into Satan's destructive lies, Sex outside of Marriage is the furthest thing from "Love" it is degrading and destructive. Do any sort of personal research on the percentage of illegitimate children and the corroding societal effects that this has brought and you will see this fact plainly.

Does this mean, because none of us are capable of penetrating the information contained in your heart and mind, that we are damned?

That is the great part! Everyone has a heart and mind. Well, except a few people but they usually don't survive birth. :(
The glorious truth is that there is no super secret truth that one must find and figure out in order to be saved. The truth is free, but sometimes not so easy to discover.

My heart tells me that a loving god would not command murder or abuse or lying.
My mind has learned that there are many hundreds of contradictions and problems with LDS doctrine, history and theology.

My heart tells me that a god that would damn all but .0000000001% of his children to a life without him is no god at all.

Oh, yes, it is obvious. I still would like to know how you would rate torture and slavery.

by the way, homosexuals cannot have accidental pregnancies. They pretty much have to bring a child into their family on purpose.

I'd also like to point out that a large portion of LDS members have had sex outside of marriage. Many of them even go on to marry and even seal their family in the temple. Do you find their relationships degrading and destructive and "the furthest thing from 'Love?'"

We heard from Jesus April 2011. But some wouldn't know prophecy if it slapped them in the face.
