Question

are there any other mormons who are tired of ppl saying that we're a cult and that our prophets are crazy and other nonsense?because i'm getting real sick ofit.

Answer 1

Stick to your beliefs, girl. Don't worry about what others think or say. Be comfortable with yourself. Show them with your behavior that they might have the wrong impression.

Answer 2

I'm a convert and became interested in the church because all the lies I heard just didn't seem to apply to the wonderful Mormon neighbors that I had. I've found that many of the people who seem obsessed with spouting hate are really scared to think beyond their small confused beliefs. They would rather read hate sites and lies than try to consider the truth.

I do get sick of it at times and I also wonder why it's acceptable to bash some groups, like Mormons, but is so politically incorrect to target other religious groups. Mormons don't stand outside other churches and insult the members. I've attended a number of different churches and every group has ceremonies or practices that can seem odd to someone who doesn't understand the background. Don't let the idiots get you down. Maybe they're just jealous.

Answer 3

You know, I was Mormon when I was younger. I am not a member anymore, and this is because I grew to disagree with some of the Church's views. However, I still, after 20 years of not being an active LDS, think that many Mormons are some of the kindest and most gracious people around. Not so much the higher "ranking" Mormons, but the families in your ward were always really good people. They really need to address some racial and gender issues, though!

Answer 4

I am not a Mormon. While I dont agree with your religion, I dont say you are crazy.
There is enough evidence that your first 2 prophets said a lot of interesting things. Things which your church denies today.
Your church put a challenge out a number of years ago (Take this challenge). It is a challenge to prove that the Book of Mormon is of God. We answered the challenge with the Ossian Chronicles by James MacPherson. If you don't know the story of these, you will find some interesting parallels.

Answer 5

yea we all should believe that captain john smith or was it john walsh no it was Joseph Smith maybe well anyway we all know that he found these golden tablets and translated them all by himself and they said jesus came here and preached to the indians or was it the jews after he was resurrected then he went home. Then he showed them to his buddies over a beer and said look at my golden tablets, then he sent them to heaven I think the went by pony express UPS wasnt invented then. Then he said I need to get me 20 wifes and go to Utah. Anyone up for a road trip. The rest is history Peace be with you my brother

Answer 7

Hey, I accept that many Atheists are smart allicks. Why can't you except the flaws of the view you choose?

Answer 8

Maybe the people of all religions should unite who feel the same like you. Accept that there one God with many names; one religion with many names; glorify Him with their own prayers and thus in harmony with everybody aim for the real goal of religion - developing love of God.
