If so, what do you think of the truthfulness of it compared to other churches?

Yes. As I read the Book of Mormon, Bible, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price, and listen to the teachings of the Prophets I find things so clear and understandable. When I listen to the things that I hear other people tell me about their religion I wonder how it is that they understand anything.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to make an educated evaluation of this religion but from what I have read so far, this religion keeps having to change it's "Bible" (Book of Mormon) to keep up with the current truths of this day and age. There is so much in the original writings of Joseph Smith and Bringham Young that have been proven wrong that I couldn't ever believe in this religion. But that is just my personal opinion. If this religion works for you--bravo and God bless!

Not a member but know several. They make a very convincing argument for their beliefs. Sadly, I have the same doubts about that religion that I have about my own or most of the others. I do admire them for being so family oriented!

Mormons tend to believe that "Powerful Organization" equates truth and righteousness, and the Corporation of the First Presidency (their legal entity) is the perfect example of how christ's representatives on earth should behave: like Enron Nazis.

Josef smith claimed he saw god and Jesus, but remember Satan can also appear as a angle of light, Mormons rely on a spirit revealing it's self to you to let you know that the book of Mormon is true, Satan is also spirit. Mormons will tell you they have a fire in their bosom but they do this mind control session where they tell you that god has put a seed of faith in you chest that is like a fire and you must nurture it to make the fire grow. even if you disprove the book of Mormon they will still claim to have a fire in there bosom that gives them faith that the book of Mormon is true . Mormon's do some weird things like baptizing the dead . They claim to be elders wile the bible said to be an elder you must have a wife . they believe that marriage is eternal, when Jesus said no one is married in heaven

Yep
They have the fullness. Most Churches have parts of the truth but not all.

"We don’t down grade any Church. We don’t speak disparagingly of any Church. We simply say to people of other Churches, bring all the good that you have and come and let us see if they if we can add to it. Now that’s all there is to it."
President Gordon B. Hinkley

Truth?
Unless Mormons are teaching that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour and through Him you are saved, and He died on the cross for all of our sins and it's by Grace and Faith we are saved, not by works and that the Bible is the Word of God and it should NOT be duplicated or changed....then Yeah, they teach the truth.....

I just find it, first, to be the most Biblical. Don't ask me how, it just is.
