Get the Mormon mug.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.
dont be afraid of the mormons, or the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, they dont bite. and no we dont want to just convert you. we want to help you know and understand the truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ lost by the confusion of the world and its many religions, and help you convert yourselves through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Get the Book of Mormon mug.Basically a "christianized" version of masonic ceremonies, modified by mormonism's founder Joseph Smith, who himself was a free mason. Brigham Young, the second mormon prophet said, "Your endowment is, to receive all those ordinances in the House of the Lord, which are necessary for you, after you have departed this life, to enable you to walk back to the presence of the Father, passing the angels who stand as sentinels, being enabled to give them the key words, the signs and tokens, pertaining to the Holy Priesthood, and gain your eternal exaltation in spite of earth and hell." (Journal of Discourses 2:31).
In 1990 the endowment was changed to remove the masonic penalties, wherein mormons formerly vowed that if they revealed the temple secrets they could have their life taken in various ways. Also women no longer vowed to be obedient to their husbands unconditionally, but only on the condition that he listened to God i.e. he wasn't a bastard and was "righteous". Probably due to the feminist movements growing within the church.
The tokens are secret handshakes you need to get to heaven, and you have to know their names, and their signs (made holding your hands and arms in various positions).
