"If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Articles of Faith 1:13.
The internet is a great place to learn about good and wholesome things. Unfortunately, many bad things have been put on there as well.
Here are our basic beliefs:
THE ARTICLES OF FAITH
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
History of the Church, Vol. 4, pp. 535—541
1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2 We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
3 We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
4 We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
5 We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6 We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7 We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10 We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
11 We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12 We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

While many Internet sites have anti-Mormon garbage that denounce our faith and can pull us down to the level of the writers, we are free to do as we will.
We place strong emphasis on God's gift of free agency for all. Often, as I read some of the tirades pointed against Mormonism it pains me because of the vast misinformation that is published on the Internet.
I am uplifted whenever I can provide intelligent and truthful responses about the LDS faith to those having a sincere desire to know.
By the way, the word is spelled Mormon, from an ancient prophet bearing the same name that lived on the American continent 420 years before Christ.

Wow Enfin! What a fashion to misuse scriptures. the most superb solutions have already been given. that's a commandment to tithe. no longer some thing we own is ours!! no longer some thing!! God blesses us with each thing we've. In go back He asks us to grant Him 10% back. I humbly tithe and am happy with what the money is used for: construct up the dominion of God right here in the international. Geez, you adult men that answer each mormon question with cult accusations ought to really attempt harder to obtain an preparation on the LDS church. i imagine you ask a sturdy question trratut, and that i'm hoping you study the honest solutions on right here which have scriptural references as to why tithing is major. All Christian church homes ought to pay tithing. the priority is, human beings study the scriptures about the section the position we are all kept by ability of accepting Christ, and then close the e book and ignore about each of the various different verses that coach us a thanks to stay with Christ's teachings suited.

One of my best friends is Mormon ( I am a christian myself) and I know that she has gone online and done other things. She is in college so I know she has done reseach and things.
So I would say no from what I have seen but then again I am not a mormon.
