What do you think of when someone says the word mormon or LDS?

Question

Be as much describing as possible. Thanks!

Answer 1

I think of

1. Donny & Marie (Osmond);

2. Utah, one of the most scenic states in the US;

3. people I would rather have as my friends than almost any people who belong to a group, based on their membership in a group;

4. plausible explanations for implausible concepts;

5. people who try to practice what they preach, but who don't always live up to their own expectations, same as any other group;

6. church services that actually provide useful information to the congregation;

and,

7. people who are vilified by others who know nothing about them other than what someone told them.

I am an atheist and unofficial, self-appointed religion critic and if a person insists on having imaginary friends, can do no better than becoming a Mormon.

Answer 2

I think of the wonderful joy I have experienced since gaining a testimony of the church, and how great it is to know that we can baptise for the dead (See 1 Corinthians 15:29) just as they did in the early church, and give people the chance to have eternal life with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

When I think of Mormon and the church of latter day saints I think of the hypocrisy they com mitt when "baptizing by proxy" the Jews who were killed in Nazi death camps. Just plain sick. Don't believe me find out for yourself. The truth is out there.

Answer 4

Another Christian Denomination. The only other thing that it brings to mind is Freemason symbols and Holy Underwear.

I think of the fabulous work they have done in preserving, transcribing and making available genealogical records.

Answer 7

I think of the most wonderful and only true church in the world!

Answer 8

I think of their gorgeous temples. I think of their really good choir. I think of a group of people who has more lies made up about them than any other group of people.

Answer 9

I think of really kind people, with beliefs that correspond to mine, as well as some I view as extremely radical.
