Unequivocally YES.

I would say that it takes a very firm testimony to be able to keep your faith when reading/hearing/viewing any of the "anti" material out there, and even then you will have doubts. Not because it's true, but because it's designed to do exactly that - to shake your testimony. And not just anti-mormon but anti-anything. None of that propaganda is shared in the spirit of love.
