Mormon-to-Orthodox convert here. I understand the main point of this video is humor, but because it is also informative I thought I would clear up some of the misinformation.
1. Mormons do not teach that Christianity was completely corrupted, but that it lost priesthood authority through some level of corruption.
2. There is no prohibition on questioning LDS leadership. In fact, personal conscience and personal revelation are emphasized. These things just can't contradict established doctrine, just as personal opinion is not to conflict with the dogmas of Holy Orthodoxy.
Don't get me wrong, I think Mormonism is completely erroneous, which is why I left it for the Truth, but we should represent other faiths accurately even if we disagree with them.
According to this site, the Mormon leadership no longer believe their founding documents. But they don't know what to do about it.
