Should I do LDS?

Question

Hello Dearest Friend,

My name is Mr. Billy F. Thorne Barrister and tomorrow is my half-Birthday. Normally my celebration entails visiting the local museum, reading literature, or attending the local cinema. My colleagues have recommended that I attend the local bar and drink the night away but instead I have decided to Mormonize my lifestyle and decided to join the Latter Day Saints. Should I certify my distaste for alcohol by joining this most religious group?

May I wish to you many Terrestrial wishes to you and yours?

Thank you for your prayers,

Mr. Billy F. Thorne Barrister

Answer 1

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called "Mormon"), I would say that it's great you wish to join the Church. I love this Church and can't imagine myself anywhere else.

If you wish to join simply because the Church recommends that we not drink alcoholic drinks, that is not a good reason to join. You need to have a testimony of the doctrine of this Church. It's great, though, if the belief against alcoholoic beverages coincides with your own desire to not drink. It sure makes it easier.

Please pray, and talk to the missionaries about the Church. I will be praying for you.

Answer 2

Hello,

As a friend, I urge you to study the church and the scriptures, so you know it's true, and you don't have to rely on another testimony. But, for now, you can rely on mine. It's not just another church. It is the church of Jesus Christ in these last days. Can you feel the Spirit drawing you near to the Lord? You must be a humble servant of the Lord. The Lord is pleased with your desire to find truth. Don't let the world deceive you into not believing. There are always two ways of thought on any issue. The only way to discern what is truth and what is error is to take the issue up with the Lord. For he will manifest the truth of it to you. Good luck to you friend. Have a coke, or better yet, a pina colada Zobe. Hmm those are good. Now remember the Lord requires personal change. You can do it my man. God speed!

Answer 3

First, Billy, you shouldn't just join the LDS church if you dislike alcohol...but if you like other things about it...go for it!

Also, if your colleagues want to go out and celebrate your half-birthday with you, they can drink, if you don't want to...you can get a soda, or a non-alcoholic drink!

We look to all the great they went east and found alight, some could take it some could not, some fell side left some fell side right, we found the promise land its in the East, they are the Wise, NOT "US"
Khair inshAllah wu Al hamdoullah Rub Alameen
the Quran is truly the word of the Absolute one that says: "He who is guided by Allah SWT is and forever will be in the guidance of Allah SWT, and he whom has allowed himself to be led astray have never been and never will be guided by anything on the face of this earth! BINGO! WE GOT IT!
Just give us time to trickle the love down, turn no longer to each other in hate, please!!!! We made error also, but there had to be some defence and we had to play your game to learn the rules.. And that is what we do when we don't understand something we go back to Allah SWT, then Muhammed SAW and then all those loved him -"THATS US CAUSE HE MISSED US SO MUCH BEFORE WE WHERE EVEN BORN! PERFECT SENSE!" So no more Babble, and lets look towards this new found or shall I say old found promise land that we so are prejudice and ignorant to have kept bickering about what we have, and forget to see what we where given through all books.
We mentioned Allah SWT is always in knowledge and the gift was for you each and every one of you! So please those who believe turn East to a name I will give once "We" will give once we iron out some details, you know our style its un breakable style just like the Quran :) Oh ya Jim C - we figured out the link thanks so much for the Gift, it was all that made the differance Al hamdoullah WE CALL NOW FOR PEACE AND THANK YEE THY LORD! SALAM

Answer 5

Well Mr. Billy happy bday whatever kind it is. My best wishes.
Which would include that you come to your senses but just in case if Jesus isn't the first love of your heart run.

Answer 6

i personally wouldn't do that, i believe that they have twisted the bible to fit the beliefs of themselves. but i can't tell you what to do, but i would like to suggest something before you leap into this, please take some time and pray on this, ask god for guidance, to show you where the right path is. tell him what you are thinking of doing and ask him if it's the right decision. he will show you what to do, show you signs, and impress thing upon your heart and mind. be open to him and talk to him like he is your best friend, let him know you are looking for a real solid relationship with him, and in order for you to do that , you need him to guide you to whats right. i will pray you find the answers you need. god bless you!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Billy, I like the fact that you are trying to dedicate your life to something larger than yourself, more substantive than getting drunk. However, since the Mormon church preaches more than the Bible, teachings that actually contradict the Bible, I do want to urge you to pursue a different church that puts the Bible in the center of its teaching.

Answer 8

I'm a little biased but if you're heart says it to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, then do it. Besides, I suspect you won't miss the hangovers :)

Answer 9

The Muslims don't drink either... why don't you become a nice little Muslim!

I'd suggest you become a Jehovah's Witness--don't drink either--but you're celebrating a half-birthday, and they don't even celebrate New Years day.

Answer 10

Please don't do the LDS. I was stupid enough to be in that cult for 3 years before having my name removed from the devils book.

Ask them about the LDS Church owning a brewery until the 1950's, as well as Brother Brigham's Brewery. Taint hypocrisy grand.

You would probably be better off doing LSD than joining the LDS.
