I haven't read the article, so I don't know, though, but I agree, we can't be haughty about our beliefs and expect to be any better off on judgement day than those who would attack us.

I think we have to be careful about how condescending we are in our interactions with anti-Mormons. We may have to be straightforward and blunt in our dealings with them ... but we shouldn't be overly confident of ourselves or of our understanding of how individual anti-Mormons will be in the future.

First of all, Latter-day Saints" differ in their levels of knowledge and it strikes me as quite possible that a non-member could know and understand true principles at a deeper level than some people who are members of the Church. Official membership status doesn't automatically confer knowledge of anything. Second, we don't know the future status of an "attacker" and whether he/she will eventually become a member of the church. An anti-Mormon isn't necessarily always going to be an anti-Mormon. So the idea that "you already know more than your attackers will ever know" doesn't strike me as a true statement. Maybe I'm being picky ... but I think statements by prominent people in the Church still need to be analyzed and pondered before they are fully accepted.
