they say that there are three levels of Heaven, Terrestrial, Tirestrial, (sp?) and Celestial. People like me who have never been baptised Morman or accepted the indisputable truth that Joseph Smith was a prophet, we go to the Terrestrial Kingdom, Morman backsliders go to the Tirestrial kingdom, and full-fledged temple-recommend Mormans go to the Celestial Kingdom.
A Morman once told me that if people knew how wonderful the Terrestrial Kingdom is, they'd be killing themselves to get there. I'm having a bad day, and I have no intention of converting to LDS, and neither do any of my relatives. So should I just kill myself, and all my loved ones, to get us all to this better place?

Good question! Although, you have it a little backwards.
1st) you are correct on the Celestial kingdom (their highest degree of heaven) - only for the best of their best temple recommend worthy.... you get the point
2nd) Terrestial: People who refuse to accept the
Gospel of Jesus Christ but who live honorable lives will receive a place in the terrestrial kingdom
3rd) Telestial: Those who continue in their sins and do not repent until after they have died, will eventually receive a place in the celestial kingdom --- this is where people would "kill themselves to get in"
But here's the point, if you don't believe it why would you act on it?

It's Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial. Telestial is where the bad people go who weren't Satan's Sons of Perdition.
One of my Sunday School teachers told me eh same thing, that if you knew how beautiful the Terrestrial Kingdom is, you'd kill yourself to get tere, but, if you do, you go to the Telestial Kingdom. Cause suicide is a sin, if you aren't mentally ill.
Plus, when I was Methodist, I was told hat all suicides go to hell. So, if we are wrong and you are a Christian, do you really want to chance it?

Sounds like a less than convincing reason for suicide, plus you seem to be 'hedging your bet' on the existence of an afterlife. I don't think you get to live forever based on what you believe at the moment of death, you just 'die'. That's it - no second chance, no hell, no heaven, no 'limbo', purgatory or beer volcanoes and strippers.
I'd make better plans based on better assumptions than the ones you have just proposed. Hell, I have a bad day every day, and a closet full of meds to prove it.

It's Telestial, not Tirestrial. Tirestrial may be a mispronunciation of Terrestrial.
Also, it's Mormon, not Morman.
Now, on to your question.
No, you shouldn't commit suicide.

You should not kill yourself. Your understanding of Mormon theology is skewed, so I would recommend you talk to missionaries or spent time on mormon.org

You need help.
No one will be better off committing suicide.
I don't care what religion you decide on (if any) -- but get some help

no when they said that you have to kill yourself to get there doesn't mean that you have to they meant it's very difficult you have to be as perfect as angel to get there.Incase you didn't know to kill is a sin.
