When I left, I decided that I would never mention anything that the Mormons would accuse of being "anti-Mormon." I didn't need do! The Mormon church does a great job of shooting itself in the foot. Just like with individual liars and con-artists, let the bishop talk himself into corner after corner.
Just ask a well-thought-out question about one of the many points in the Mormon essays, then sit back and listen, quietly.
Please, I hope you can bring your wife along for the interview, so she can witness the lying and back-pedaling first hand. If you are quiet enough, the bishop (who isn't armed with the Truth) will shoot himself in the foot, and you will be the "good guy." Hopefully, your wife might start re-thinking things. You could even have your wife pray with you, asking God to help her discern good from evil, or asking God to open her mind to God's Truth--whatever it is.
Our bishopric, home teachers, and stake presidency, and some representatives for the rude, nasty, things to me, right in front of my children, who were there for all the visits. My children were there when the bishop threatened us with financial failure, told me my health would get WORSE, and told all of us that God would withdraw His blessings. My answer was, "You can't tell God what to do. God doesn't do bad things to innocent people, just to get money out of them. We actually kicked some of these thugs out of our house.
If your wife doesn't witness bad Mormon behavior first hand, for herself, she will never believe you. Refuse to go, unless your wife goes with you.
Though my children and I were already inactive, these invasive visits made my children even more sure that we were doing the right thing, and that what we were resigning from is an evil cult.
