to start, the word "mormon" is not the name of our church. it is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints". people use the word "mormon" because of the "Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ". a lot of people dont know the truth about our religon and actually are afraid to know, so they make up lies to make themselves feel better, tougher, and to feel like they´ve accomplished something through their lies. this Church is not the Church of Joseph Smith. if it was it would be called the Church of Joseph Smith. he, Joseph Smith, was a prophet called by our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to restore the true Church again on this earth after the great apostasy, or period of time without prophets. a prophet is a man called on earth to be the spokesperson for God for the good of His children here on earth. God restored His priesthood, or power to act and do ordinaces such as baptism in His name, through the prophet Joseph Smith. we do not worship Joseph Smith, that would be against the 1st and 2nd commandments of the ten commandments which we also believe in, which are there is only one God and not to worship idols, saints or anything else in the sky, ground and sea. we worship God, our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. they are seperate beings but one in purpose. the Holy Ghost is also a part of the Godhead, and he testifies of the truthfullness of the Gospel. through and only through the Holy Ghost can we know the truth of all things. if you would like to know more, talk to a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or its represenitives, the missionaries. they can answer any questions you have and help you resolve doubts and concerns. and of course, God our Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. feel free to pray to Him and ask what is right for you. He knows each and every one of us because we are his children. He will not, and can not lead us astray.

Latter Day Saints

Believe in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I spent 18 years of my life as a mormon, and have since denounced my "birthright" by finally breaking free from the monotonous thinking and lessons drilled into my head. I have heard all the lessons many, many times and do understand what I'm talking about--- I was once an active mormon who "believed" in it completely. With that being said, let's begin:

They believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet, saw God, and translated the golden plates into what is called "The Book of Mormon." (Hence, the term "mormon") They have thirteen articles of faith describing their beliefs.

There are 3 sections of heaven (Celstial being the highest, Telestial is the middle, and Terrestial is the lowest) and "hell" is called "outer darkness" and only very special people who have actually "seen" God and "know" the church is true but deny it go there. Only good mormons get to go to the highest level of heaven and only those in the top will become "Gods" of their own planets. (It's the true belief. I've heard it a billion times. It is also one reason I left the church--- Only mormons are allowed in the highest degree of heaven, but no worries, if you convert you get to be special too! :D ...I find that to be concieted, elitist bull shit.)

*There is to be no sex before marriage. (In fact, it is highly discourage to even engaed in "Passionate Kissing" because it arouses sexual feelings. I don't lie--- see the "Strength of the You...

The term given to members of the various churches who follow the teachings of Joseph Smith, Jr. They are called this because Joseph Smith claimed to translate an ancient American record called "The Book of Mormon".

Many different Churches follow the the teachings of Joseph Smith, but most often the term "Mormons" is used to describe members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sometimes it is also used to describe the members of "Break-off" Churches who still follow discontinued practices of the Original Church, such as polygamy, etc.

The Ye Olde English way of saying "Morons".

a large gullible group of people who know nothing of what they believe.
american indians are considered jewish and masonry is a major part of their temple practices, and there is absolutely no evidence to back the claim of the book of mormon
the book of mormon is a frabricated story, anyone with a brain can see it for what it is

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) a Christian religion based on both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. Members try to be honest, chaste, respectful, kind etc. They avoid using profane language, using alcohol/tobacco/drugs, having sexual relations outside of marriage etc.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

We're not a cult, we don't want to force religion down your throat, and we whole-heartedly accept that you have your own opinion. We believe our church's doctrine to be true, yet many of the members are still quite flawed (myself included, as well as many others who have attempted to tell you what we're all about).

If you really want to know about our church, talk to the missionaries. Members have a tendency to twist what we believe in their own ways. The missionaries will (for the most part) set you straight on our beliefs. They will never force what they have to say upon you. If you don't want them around, just politely tell them so. Trust me, I was a missionary myself. You can be mean to them, but they'll just make fun of you (like anybody else would).

The only real way for people to tell us apart from everyone else (and no, it's not our horns...although they're really quite stylish) is from the things we DON'T do. For example, we don't drink coffee or tea, and we don't have sex before we're married. By choice, mind you. Our members are free to drink as much coffee as they want, or look up as much porn as they want. Seems to me that being able to NOT do such things is a great exercise in self-control. Most people don't seem to like that because they themselves do not have the same self-control and they want to put down anyone else who does.

Please don't disparage Joseph Smith. We revere...
