In my American History class we are learning about the Mormon churches. The FLDS headed by the Mormon Prophet, Warren Jeffs, was started by Joseph Smith in 1830. This is the most traditional of the Mormon churches, as through Prophet Jeffs they still hold onto the polygamy belief which was instituted by Prophet Smith not long ago in the 1830's. While the larger and more politically correct Mormon church is the LDS group which has gone through an overhaul not adhering to the beliefs of Jeffs and Smith.

The LDS group is headed by their corporate President, Gordon B. Hinckley. Mr. Hinckley has been working as an employee of LDS group since 1935 and was named President in 1995. Graduating from the University of Utah in 1932 he began his career with LDS as secretary of the Radio, Publicity and Mission Literature Committee. Prophet Jeffs became leader of the FLDS in 2002.

In preparation for my examination I would like to know how many Mormons belong to each group.

Why do some people rely on secondhand information concerning information about other faiths instead of going straight to the source and asking a person of THAT FAITH themselves?

Also, why do people, when they receive this secondhand information, use it against the faith, out of ignorance? Example....

1st person - "Oh, well I heard that you guys believe this! (yada yada yada)"

2nd person - "No, we don't believe that."

1st Person - ".......Yes you do."

I mean, it's laughable to me. Don't people realize that someone of a particular faith probably has just a teeny bit more knowledge concerning their OWN beliefs?

I'm a choreographer and I've worked with various artist around the world and I've traveled to many countries and I realize whites can't move their bodies like black people..they don't even come close.
Blacks don't need training it just comes naturally for them.
My dance teacher was black...and her moves were emaculate!

the events in England- the car bombs and the vehicle driven into the airport terminal on fire - when terrorists commit this nasty killing of innocent ppl - and they praize allah for the success of their action - do you then believe it would be also a religious rite for them , a religious act if you will???

we all know that not all ppl are alike and will not hurt others , should they not fight side by side with the british police and make a change so their children do not have to live with rejection from global society?

I want to see muslims turning in muslims for this stuff so no one gets hurt ever again! is that a statement that is not shared with the rest of the muslims and the world?

I'm thinking Oprah has her own cult and pulls a good amount of weight with the chick audience. But then again, a lot of people with disposable incomes watch both shows. What would you advise?

Would a sinless God overlook sin? If Allah judges sin by degree doesnt that mean some sins a more agreeable with him? If Allah was perfect wouldn't any sin be too much sin?

According to an article, in this gritty and mean world of cut-throat competition, teaching morals and ethics will only hamper childern's future and create a generation with no concept of reality. Teaching them to be bullies will ensure a "street-smart" generation ready to face the challenges of life.
