Answer 1

Mormons believe in traditional stoic reverenced service.
We wear traditional clothes to church...Suit and tie for men and dress for women.

We believe in the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.
We Believe Jesus Christ died for sin with his atonement.
As for Mary she is the mother of Jesus in the flesh.
The Mary worship is in Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox churches.

Answer 2

We do believe in Jesus and we do believe in Mary but we don't worship Mary. We sing hymns and sometimes we stand up, we don't shout or clap. We sit down. To go to church males usually wear a shirt (mostly white) and dressing pants, sometimes wear a tie too and the women wear skirt (modest skirt) and some blouse or shirt or whatever that covers the upper part of the arm, or a dress.

Answer 3

We are Christians so we believe in Christ. We don't pray to Mary. We pray to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ.

We sit quietly when talks are given. Except for the little kids - they can be really noisy at times. Talks aren't always boring and quiet.

Sometimes there is a special program. Once a year the "Primary" kids (ages 3 to 11) do the whole program. The kids have talks, read scripture and have lots of songs we have practiced for months. It is all based on the theme for the year. I teach the 9 year-olds so I'm involved with this.

It's not a sermon by a Pastor like in some religions. Teenagers usually give talks also. The choir may sing - ours is awful! No standing up and shouting.

Women wear dresses. Men usually wear a white shirt & tie (with pants of course).

I love my Church!

Answer 4

We believe in Jesus Christ and God. we believe they are two separate beings, and that Joseph Smith restored the church. that the Book of Mormon is true, and that Joseph Smith translated it by the power of God.
well, on the sabbath day, we go to church we have any anouncments, such as new memebers, baptisms, or stake activities ans such. and we have a the blessing and passing of the sacrement, and we sing hymes and the bishop or president of that ward/branch calls a few people to gives talks on certain subjects. we do not shout, we believe that the church is the Lords house, and that we should respect it.
well we are told to wear Sunday dress. which means for the girls dresses and such, and for the men white shirts and formal or nice pants, o don't know what they are called =)

Hope that helped, and if you want to know more, go to www.Mormon.com or www.LDS.org those sites will help too

Answer 5

We believe in God the Eternal Father and Jesus Christ as separate, tangible beings. We acknowledge Mary as an important part in the history of God's plan for mankind, but do not worship or pray to her.

In worship, we are basically seated unless asked by the music director to stand for a specific hymn. We seek reverence in our meetings, so there would be no place for clapping or shouting. We sing about three hymns per meeting, as we consider a hymn akin to prayer. We encourage everyone to come in the best attire possible to demonstrate respect for the sacred nature of our worship services. Hope this helps. Also, you may look up a couple of good websites for further investigation.

Answer 6

I'm not a mormon, but I've been to couple services, and they are pretty much like any Christian church. The only difference is that there is no full-time priest, regular member take turns leading the service. I think Presbytarians have something like that too.

Dress code is pretty formal.

Jesus is definitely a big thing, not sure about Mary. They probably follow protestant tradition in not worshipping any saints but Christ.

Answer 7

Actually GW is right, just visit a servivce and see what it is like, a religoious class I took had me do this, I was Mormon and I am now non-denominational, I went to a Protestant church. Keep in mind that some people think Mormons are a cult and research what a cult is and see for yourself, if you think the church is a cult or not, that would be interesting to do a report on the church as a religion and is it a cult or not in your opinion.

Answer 8

We believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and Mary (I'm not sure what you mean, we beleive that Mary was a real person and gave birth to Jesus, but we do not pray to her like Catholics do.) Our services are rather quiet and reverent. We sing hymns that are usually soft and slow, although there are quite a few that are upbeat also. Men usually wear white shirts and ties and slacks. Women usually wear dresses or bouses and skirts. We are encouraged to wear our best out of respect to God.

Answer 9

I believe in Jesus. During worship I sit in reverance, quietly. We certainly sing, ever heard of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? I always wear a shirt and tie to church, a jacket if the situation warrants (baptism, blessing, teaching, etc.).

Answer 10

most of the lds people on here nailed it. we wear our sunday best to church, a dress for woman and white shirts and ties for men. when we go to church we go to 1. sacrament, where we sing about three hymns, pass the sacrament (which is bread and water) we do this to renew our covenant to the lord (like being baptized every sunday) the bread represents the body of the son of god that he sacrificed for our sins and the water represents the blood of the son of god which he shed for our sins. we have a few members of our congregation give a talk on a certain subject. (unless its the first sunday of the month, then we fast for two meals and we bear our testimonies in sacrament) then we say a closing prayer and attend our next class which is sunday school. this is where we learn important lessons. this is taught by a teacher, who is a member of the church. it depends on what we are learning about that week but we learn things like, the importance of prayer, service to others, teachings of the gospel, and etc..after this class we go to another class (which depends on you're age and gender. i.e. i am 19 and a female so i go to reliefe society with the other women, this is kinda like sunday school, a little different though. if you are a girl under 18 you go to young women, boys go to young men, etc.) then we go home. we believe the church to be a house of the lord so reverence is always expected. all the members of the church who hold a position like bishop or primary teacher or young women leader, boy scout master, etc.. have all been called of god. and no one is paid, we do it because it is where the lord has called us to do. a bishop will spend a lot of time doing interviews with people, or listening to people repent, or calling other people to different callings, attending meetings before and after church with the stake president and high council members and so on and will sometimes spend a lot of time at the church house. and this is all on his own free time. the only benefits anyone of these people recieve is spiritual blessings and rewards. nothing worldly. i hold a calling in the boy scout program, doing all the paperwork and filling out tour permits.

the church was on the earth in the ancient days, but because of sin, the lord removed from the earth. then one day a boy named joseph prayed in a grove about which church to join. God the father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and told him to join none. they said of the other churches, "they draw near to me with their lips but their hearts are far from me" and so 14 year old joseph became the first prophet of the latter day and restored the only true church to the earth.

we don't drink alcohol or coffee. we are cautioned not to drink caffiene, because it is addictive. most members however drink caffiene, even coffee. we are not supposed to take in pornogrophy, or participate in sexual acts before marriage, sex is a gift from god, not something we should give away freely to anyone but who we have commited ourselves to through marriage. we believe that if you are married in a civil wedding on this earth you're marriage will only last until death do us part. thats why we have temple marriages and sealings so our marriages will last for eternity. we believe in God, Jesus Christ (who are seperate tangible beings) and in the holy ghost. we do not worship or pray to marry.

we once practiced polygamy over 100 years ago, but do not practice it any longer. it was practiced as a sort of welfare for the women and children of the church. we believe that you cannot enter into the kindom of heaven without a baptism, and so for those people that have passed on and not had that chance, we use a living proxy and preform a baptism for the dead. this does not mean that they become LDS. they can either accept it or reject it while they are in the spirit world.

there is a lot i could tell you but it would take too long so if you have any other questions, you should go talk to a missionary, and attend one of our church meetings yourself.
