If Tim were to take his three wives and move to Salt Lake City the first thing that would happen would be his excommunication from the Church--provided he is a member. No Mormon is authorized to practice polygamy.

I wish more people would learn this basic truth: Mormons do not practice plural marriage and have not done so since October 1890. Those practicing plural marriage are risking excommunication and prosecution under federal and state laws.

As for the questioner I say this: First read the Book of Mormon and invite a pair of missionaries to your home. You will not be coerced in anything contrary to your belief system.

We Latter-day Saints do believe we have the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with us in its restored organization and priesthood authority. We also can provide far more answers than the average Christian can give.

This response is one example of it.

Zuboko and venus_smrf gave a few well solutions. I'll attempt to complement. The block of conferences is composed of 3 hour-lengthy conferences. The order of the conferences is dependent upon the congregation, however they're: Sacrament Meeting, Sunday School, and categories divided through gender and age. I'll begin with Sacrament Meeting. For this element, you take a seat within the chapel. The Bishop (kind of an identical to a clergyman or pastor) and his counselors take a seat on the entrance at the 'stand', as good because the chorister, the pianist/organist, and the audio system. The assembly starts with a hymn - hymnbooks are normally held in field-like cabinets at the backs of the pews in entrance of you. After the hymn, there's an establishing prayer, and 'ward trade' (bulletins, and so on) is mentioned through the Bishop. After this, there's a Sacrament hymn and the younger guys (a while 12-18) bless and cross the Sacrament. You aren't required to take the Sacrament if you don't want to - it's, in brief, the renewing of covenants made at baptism. There is bread and water. After the Sacrament, 2 folks will come to the pulpit and provide 'talks' on an assigned matter (separately, of direction). There will likely be an intermediate hymn (a few congregations stand for this) and a 3rd speaker. After the final speaker finishes his or her speak, there's yet another hymn and a prayer. Sunday School: that is geared up through age. If you are accompanying a buddy, you'll be able to in most cases attend magnificence with them. The topics of the teachings differ, and you'll be able to borrow a suite of scriptures from the ward/department library (if there's one) and take part when you want. Other conferences: You, being a lady, could attend the Young Women conferences (or Relief Society if you're above 18). You can ask round to uncover out wherein to head. These are very similar to the Sunday School assembly, even though you're going to be with best different women or ladies. As for attire: put on a get dressed or shirt and skirt; skirt will have to be not more than 2 inches above the knee and the highest won't exhibit a lot or any cleavage. Sleeves are really helpful.

They're not...but if they were:
-- men would get to have multiple wives after they're resurrected
-- some men would go on to be gods of their own planets, have "spirit" children with their multiple wives (it's sort of like the 72 virgins thing in Islam, except they're not guaranteed to be virgins in mormonism), and populate a world with those spirit children
-- we'd all have to wear that silly magic underwear
-- I'd apologize to Joseph Smith for making fun of his magic rocks that let him translate non-existent languages from non-existent gold plates...not to mention using magic stones (before he started the mormon church) in a hat that he'd look into to tell the future.
-- the restored garden of eden would be in Jackson County, Missouri. Ugh. I've been to Jackson County, it's no eden :(
-- I guess we'd find out why the supposed historical record of the people who inhabited the americas in the book of mormon doesn't agree in any way with archaeological finds and history...

But, they're not right, so you don't have to worry about any of those things. Whew.

Oh, and don't take Guitarpicker up on his invitation and invite mormon missionaries to your house -- despite his assurances, coercing people into joining the mormon church is all they do. And they're taught to do it very well. I know -- I was one :)

Than I'd rejoice and take my 3 wives and 14 children and move to Salt Lake City and worship Joeseph Smith for the rest of my life.

Mormons can only be correct if the bible is not true.

That is not possible.
