mormons (latter days saints) are very respectable people. they dont have rules, but guidelines that they personally choose to follow to live a richer, more fullfilled life. they do NOT practice polygamy. they are not a cult. they are just a christian religion that believes it has the truth.

Truly the nicest people with pure intentions that are seriously misunderstood. When Christ walked the earth he was hated for what he taught because it meant that those who were in power, selfish or otherwise had misinterpreted what the prophets throughout time had taught, were wrong and needed to repent. For this same reason there are many antagonistic portrayals of the Mormon (LDS-Ladder Day Saint) people. Rarely if ever will one hear a member of the LDS church say anything derrogatory about another or their religion. However, incessantly there are those who are consumed with the urge to insult or otherwise demean in every possible way the Mormons. This is a very accurate indication that the same spirit that possessed the people that hated Christ 2000 years ago is alive and well today. That spirit is mean and devilish and is the root of all that is evil in the world today.
Why are people so negative to Mormons? For the same reason that Christ and his followers were hated and abused.

after the latter day saints were branded morons they decided to turn hate mail into positive propaganda. To save on costs they nick named themselves mormons which allowed them to easily adapt the leaflets.

NOT A CULT
the sweetest, nicest, funniest people you will ever meet.

The best religion in the whole world! They dont have boring church sessions. They have fun youth activities. They have hott missionary elders. They're the best! The only true church on earth. I don't see why anyone could hear about the church and not know it's true because it definitely is and if someone wants me to explain how i know its true i'll explain to them in a second. Theres a lot of false rumors about our beleifs which aren't true. We tend to be very nice people. There's a lot of mormons in Utah. Not many in some other places like in nova scotia. There's like, none. but its all good. I love the church, its amazing.

A religion restored by Joseph Smith. We DO NOT practice polagamy!!!! And we are not a cult!!!! We believe the following:
# God is our Heavenly Father. He loves us and wants us to return to Him.
# Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is our Savior. He redeems us from death by providing the Resurrection. He saves us from sin as we repent.
# Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can return to live with God if we keep His commandments.
# The Holy Ghost helps us to recognize truth.
# The first principles and ordinances of the gospel are faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
# The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth.
# The priesthood authority of God exists in His Church today, just as it did in the original Church.
# The Bible and the Book of Mormon are the word of God.
# God reveals His will to prophets today, just as He did anciently.
# Our life has a sacred purpose.
# Families can be together forever.
# Through serving others, we can experience joy and draw closer to God.
And not all mormons like Jello I find it pretty gross personaly! And we do have TVs and electricty. Were not amish.
