I think if you're going to take a bone with something, it's not the First Vision account, but this statement (From their site):
Quote:
God
The one eternal, living God is triune: one God in three persons. The God who meets us in the testimony of Israel is the same God who meets us in Jesus Christ, and who indwells creation as the Holy Spirit. God is the Eternal Creator, the source of love, life, and truth. God actively loves and cares for each person. All things that exist owe their being to God who alone is worthy of our worship. Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is "God with us," the Son of God, and the living expression of God in the flesh. Jesus Christ lived, was crucified, died, and rose again. The nature, love, and purpose of God are most clearly seen in Jesus Christ, our Savior

Which, to me, doesn't seem that strange or unusual. We have to remember, though our roots are the same, the LDS and CoC Churches AREN'T the same. We've had different history, and have accepted different doctrine.
To hang your head in shame, or accuse them of waywardness, is just uncouth.
The Light is in all religions, this one not excluded. I think we should emphasize that they are our brothers and sisters, and that they're more likely to understand our beliefs than many other churches.
Build bridges, don't stomp on the cracks in old ones.
