Do you say those things because you want to save peoples souls or have had a bad experience with mormonism? I'm sure that some people are just being idiots but i believe others are doing it to honestly try to save people.

I say truthful things. Some people take these things as "bad" because they do not agree with said things, or their doctrine is being contradicted. Don't take it personally, I talk about all religions.
By the way, I have only had a few bad experiences with Mormon people in general. Good folks for the most part from what I can tell.

There is and will be opposition in all things. You will find the greatest opposition where the truth is strongest. This is because there are two forces at work in this world, one for good and the other for evil. The good is represented by Jesus and the evil is represented by Satan. Jesus goal is to teach God's children how to return to His presence. Satan's goal is to stop those same children from going home. Therefore, the closer we get to God's presence, the more opposition we can expect to encounter. That is why there will always be irrational opposition to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, because we possess the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Satan wants to stop us any way he can. Thus, many people, unknowingly under Satan's influence, continue to harass the LDS people and spread lies about us in an attempt to discredit us and keep people away from us.

One piece of divine advice
[006:159] Verily, those who divide their religion and break up into sects (all kinds of religious sects), you (O Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) have no concern with them in the least. Their affair is only with Allâh, Who then will tell them what they used to do.
[006:160] Whoever brings a good deed (Islâmic Monotheism and deeds of obedience to Allâh and His Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) shall have ten times the like thereof to his credit, and whoever brings an evil deed (polytheism, disbelief, hypocrisy, and deeds of disobedience to Allâh and His Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam]) shall have only the recompense of the like thereof, and they will not be wronged.
Explanation
(V.6:159) It is said that the Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] recited this Verse and said: "These people are those who invent new things (Bid'ah) in religion and the followers of the vain desires of this Muslim nation, and their repentance will not be accepted by Allâh." (Tafsir Al-Qurtubi)
[It has been narrated in the Hadîth Books (At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Mâjah and Abu Dâwûd) that the Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] said: "The Jews and the Christians will be divided into seventy-one or seventy-two religious sects and this nation will be divided into seventy-three religious sects, all in Hell, except one, and that one is: on which I and my Companions are today, i.e. following the Qur'ân and the Prophet's Sunnah (legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements)."]

It's just because they think we believe in false doctrine. False to whom though? Them? So, because they don't believe it, it's wrong???
Every person needs their own testimony. What one person believes another doesn't. That's the way life is.

PEOPLE CAN BE IDIOTS,IGNORANT, UNFEELING, UNTHINKING. SOME JUST CHOOSE TO PICK ON ANYONE OR EVERYONE, HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR TIME OR MIND. IF A PERSON DOESN'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING OR SOMEONE THEY SOMETIMES CRITICIZE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OR THINK.

" I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME." JOHN 14:6 JESUS WAS/IS THE LIVING GOD IN THE FLESH. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN YOU EQUAT SATAN TO HIM.
GOD BLESS
