I never heard of them before my dad explained to me.

Do have some on the forums?

that the weirdest story I ever heard :|


could you give me more detail about this REALLY strange belief?



btw made this because I saw some of you talk about it in the "free will" thread
 
We have a few on here (Uriel is the only one I can remember atm).

I personally don't care for them or their beliefs.
 
I'll let Uriel fill you in, I'm much too tired at the moment.

What exactly did your dad explain to you by the way?


P.S. Here's a funny little clip from SouthPark that kind of goes with this. This is not what we believe mind you.
 
did Jesus visi the US? explain,tell me everything!!!!!!!!!!one!!!!two!!!!andwhatnot
 
Yes He did. You can read about it for yourself here.
You'll need to read from that chapter to the end of the book.(not the entire book; it's divided up into sections called books. You could think of them as the Acts of a play) It's not too long. :D

I would just say that you start reading at the beginning of the Book of Mormon.
I'm going to bed now. :x
 
Wowza, lemme try to cover everything.
Basically we are viewed as "Squeeky Clean Christians", However many or possibly even most Christians do not view us as Christians. But our official name is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" or for short "LDS".

Basically here are some of the basics.
We Obstain from the Following
-Alcohol
-Drugs
-Tobacco
-Sex before Marriage
-Petting (Kissing before you're married is fine, but its preferred we safe our kisses)
-Vulgarity
-Profanity
-Caffiene
-Rated R Movies
-Pornography
-Vulgar or Offensive Music
-Gambling
-Etc

How The LDS Faith Was Created

We have basic Christian Beliefs in certain aspects, but are quite different than your regular Christian.

We believe that we have a literal Prophet upon the Earth (Currently Gordon B. Hinkley) and that he is the Mouth Piece of God.

We do not pay our Bishops, Stake Presidents, etc.

We believe God and Christ are seperate beings.

We believe that most people are going to Heaven, however, we believe that there are different Glories of heaven. However, you will recieve Judgement for your actions.

We believe that Christ suffered for our sins, but we cannot simply just believe in Christ to be saved. Being a Christ-like individual is more than just saying you believe in him.

We practice the Law of Tithing, we give 10% of all our income to the Church.

We believe in Baptism. However, we do not baptize our babies. At the age of 8 (or older, because we believe that this is the age of responsiblity) is the usually age of baptism.

One of our strongest beliefs is our emphasis on Family. We believe strongly in the family unit and nothing holds higher importance than our Heavenly Father and our Family. Parenting your child holds great importance because you are responsible for the development and are planting the seeds of another's life.

Young men usually at the age of 19 serve what we call are "Missions". We serve the Lord for 2 years preaching our Gospel and helping others. You've probably seen Missionaries before. Guys wearing suits, sometimes riding bikes with name tags. In December, ill be heading off to my Mission. Thats right ill be knocking on your door bothering you, but its only cuz I care about you. Maybe ill knocking on your door :E

We are not like other Christians in which we'll shove a flyer in your face saying "YOU WILL GOTO HELL IF YOU DO NOT ATTEND OUR CHURCH". However, there will always be over-zelious Mormons. Please do not take offense if one says something like that and please don't judge all Mormons based on your experience with one Mormon. We're people too. But anyone giving you beef about "We're holier than thou", they're hypocrites.

Our Church Gives a LOT and we are generally very generous people. Our Church is always giving to the needy, poor and hungry. The church has developed organizations such as the "DI" (Deseret Industries) that lend out a helping hand to the poor.

Basically, if you need help with your yard, painting your house, or whatever, ask a Mormon for help. We should organize something to help you out, whether you are a member or non-member. Most of us love doing service for our fellow man when we find time.

We construct Beautiful Temples in which we use for Marriages, Sealings, etc. You may have seen one of these before. They can usually be recognized by the "Angel of Moroni" statue on top of the spire.

Click Here for Pictures of Temples.

We strongly believe in learning because we also believe that all we take into Heaven is our bodies and what we learn. Learning and education is something that our Faith takes very seriously.

We also believe that our bodies are sacred and should be treated with the highest respect. Its often stated within our Church that "Our bodies are temples". Many of our beliefs benefit our body.

There are also a lot of Famous Mormons. Steve Young, Gladys Knight, Donny Osmound, Butch Cassidy:O , etc. However, some arent certainly a very good example of what a Mormon should be. Click Here for More Famous Mormons.

Anymore question you have please just ask!

[SARCASM]Of course, he stowed away on a boat from Southampton docks (to avoid paying the hefty fare of £1) and then when he landed in the docks of New York he jump started the industrial revolution and before long they had skyscrapers, the Empire State Building and the Wright Brothers. [/SARCASM]

I'm sorry, but that picture's been sitting in limbo forever. Now seemed like the most awesome time in which to unleash it.

I have many mormon friends, and they all ****ing rock. Some are more hardcore mormons than others. ie, still plays violent games and drinks soda, but he doesn't drink or anything. They still tithe (sp?) etc etc. He said he still wants to go to heaven, but doesn't need to go to the top position, and that's fine with him. =)
