Our experience if it helps:
We were resistant to two sons who tried to talk to us about what was wrong about the church.
First one planted seeds about what he was concerned about (LDS corporation owning so many businesses in Utah - Bonneville inc.) but did not pursue talking or griping to us.
The other son was upset about what he found on the internet and came across angry so we stopped talking about religion with him and worked on building our relationship in the family with him.
Needless to say it took our own concerns and a news article "How the Mormons make Money" for us to wake up to get us to study things out for ourselves.
I really like what Steve Hassan has to says about cult thinking:
http://vimeo.com/freedomofmindSteve Hassan has been at the forefront of cult awareness activism since 1976 and have authored critically acclaimed books – Combatting Cult Mind Control: The #1 Best-selling Guide to Protection, Rescue, and Recovery from Destructive Cults (1988) and Releasing the Bonds: Empowering People to Think for Themselves (2000) and e-book and paperback book in July 2012, Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults and Beliefs.
