Who are the mormons?

Answer 1

They are members of the only true church on the earth: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Go to LDS.org to find out about them, don't trust what you read on anti-sites to give you accurate info...would you trust a car salesman to perform open heart surgery on you just because they had heard how to do it??? You can choose whether to believe it or not, but please at least get the facts from the source and not anti or hate groups.

Answer 2

Mormons are industrious, hard working, morally upright, temperate people, yet most of their doctrines find little harmony with the Bible.

They believe the Book of Mormon is superior to the Bible because the words are "pure" words. The Bible is the Word of God only as far as it is correctly translated.

Man pre-existed w/God as an immortal soul before being created. One of the reasons for creation was to create bodies for these souls.

God was pleased when Adam and Eve sinned because the earth would now be populated.

There are immortal souls now living in the Spirit world w/Jesus preaching the gospel to them.

They must hold baptismal services for the dead in Mormon Temples.

Jesus was married to Mary, Martha, and the other Mary at the wedding feast of Cana (Journal of Discoures, Vol. 4, p. 259, by Brigham Young) They accept polygamy or multiple marriages where the law of the land permits it.

Marriage must be sealed for time and eternity in a Mormon Temple.

There are 3 degrees of heaven, the celestial (for faithful Mormons), the terrestrial (for Mormons not so faithful), and the telestral (for others who will be servants). In essence all humanity will receive eternal life yet some will become servants of others.

A. Mormons are faithful tithe payers
B. Mormons are concerned about their health, refraining from alcohol and tobacco.
C. Mormons accept the concept of the Gift of Prophecy in the Church today.
D. Mormons believe in baptism by immersion
E. Mormons accept the idea that the religious bodies today are "fallen Babylon" and Christianity needs a return to New testament teachins.

Answer 4

A religion that writes it's own bibles. Tomorrow I think I'll write my own bible too.

PS: If your in a cult, you don't know it until after you exit the cult and recognize how mind control works. Then you "wake up" and realize that you were brain washed into total conformance to the cult's thinking. You may not realize it when your in the cult, but you've lost the power of independent thinking. You can't challenge the beliefs of a cult member because they can only believe exactly what their cult leaders tell them to. The slightest challenge or questioning of the cult leaders is immediately suppressed by twisting the truth to the cult's way of thinking. You are ostracized from the cult if you or your non-cult family and friends try to argue against any of the cult's beliefs no matter how false they are proven to be.
I suggest that people who are being recruited to join the cult first talk to the members who have left the cult and give freedom of thought a chance by hearing arguments pro and con for the group. I challenge any cult member who thinks they're not in a cult to take a one year hiatus from the group's influence. Simply take a job in a distant city. But you better not leave a forwarding address, because they'll hound you until you agree to rejoin the group. If it's truly not a cult, then you should have no problem trying to leave the group any time you want to. Try telling them your going on a 6 month vacation with no further contact with the church. See what their response is! They won't let you do it!

Answer 5

The Mormons are a religious cult, group, sector what ever word you prefer to use. They have really strict rules. Like you can't drink caffeine. Can't live in a house with a person unrelated of the opposite sex. I wouldn't want to be friends with a Mormon because everything is wrong except how they live. Boring!!! I think they are scared to live in the real world.

Answer 6

Answer 10

The cult of Joseph Smith, swindler and charlatan, who referred to his own followers as dupes. Joseph Smith born 1805 known to his neighbors as an untruthful, trouble making boy, given to pretended feats of magic and digging for buried treasure. At twenty-one was hauled into court as a disorderly person and impostor, pretended that an angel named Moroni sent by god revealed to him a sacred book written on gold plates, that he found in a stone box with a sword and breast plate. He pretended to have dictated the contents without unwrapping the plates, which only passages that possess any dignity are borrowings from the King James Bible, when pressured to produce these plates Smith said they were taken back to heaven. Smith was murdered in 1844 in an Illinois jail when he was thirty-nine being held for burning down the press of a newspaper that printed articles about him that he didn’t care for.
