Re: “Its an evil cult and like every cult, many ignorant people do not do any research or diligence on what it teaches nor its inner workings.”
I want to flat-out disagree with you, but there are so many definitions for "cult" that I'd need to first know yours.

For instance, there's this one: "A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the guidance of an authoritarian, charismatic leader." With regard to LDS being "generally considered to be extremist or false" - That's clearly a subjective call made by a majority against a minority. I don't think that's a good reason for disparaging a religion. Hindus could, I am certain, make the same claim about Christians - and just as legitimately. In short, what does it matter what non-members think of a religion? Every religion, after all, makes fantastic claims that require the total abandonment of logic, verifiability and known physical law.

Modern Mormons don't live any more unconventionally than most Americans - except that they have more children and stay closer to their families. I respect that. The LDS church formally banned polygamy 134 years ago and shouldn't be judged by what a few crackpot members still believe.

Modern Mormons don't have an authoritarian, charismatic leader. They're led by a committee called the First Presidency.

A different definition says cults are small. There are more than 15 million Mormons. LDS isn't small.

So why is it a cult? Is Hinduism a cult? Catholicism? Islam? Buddhism?Quakerism? Is every religion that's not yours a cult?

it is more of a cult that any semblence of a Christian Church. The things that they adhere to and what there founders claim makes ya wonder what were they hallucinating on.

What they believe or claim to believe including bigotry is all anti-Biblical. Their founder has tried to replace the Biblical scriptures with some fanatical stories and Polygamy is their accepted way. Women are basically chattel property in their cult.

When one of them tries to escape they hunt them down.

Its an evil cult and like every cult, many ignorant people do not do any research or diligence on what it teaches nor its inner workings.

I know someone who successfully escaped its clutches and the stories she told would make yer hair curl.

So yer relative is likely to get a thorough brainwashing because he does not really know what goes on in that cult.
