Looks like you're stumped Danny! 
I know they hide the reality of Mormonism until you're quite far in. Superficially (and the way they present it) it appears to be straight Christianity - so any of those classic refutations will match nicely here.
Joseph Smith apparently liked to wander in the woods collecting wild mushrooms. Amazingly he was handed his golden plate messages from god on one such walk. Go figure. (The plates inexplicably dissapeared of course)
Apparently (IIRC) the book of mormon is quite hard to come by. Each copy is registered and is supposed to be accounted for.
Mormonism would also be a good match for any sci fi nuts out there as I understand it.
