how many rumors are there about the LDS church and what are some of them?

Answer 1

The last time I posted a youtube link about the LDS church, I got reported.

Answer 2

Oh the rumors! These are sooooooo entertaining. OF all of the many rumors my favorites are these:

They still practice polygamy (um... no that would be the FLDS church. Sorry to burst your bubbles.)
They have horns (HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I wonder why I don't have any?)
They do virgin sacrifices in the temple and throw the bodies from the windows into the great salt lake (Do your geography people! The Great Salt lake isn't even close enough to the temple to hardly see it.)
You have to be LDS to live in Utah (lol, funny, very funny. Ever hear of freedom of religion?)
They are a cult (which you can get out of at anytime... astonishing! Never heard of a cult like that! )
They are satan worshippers. (Yup, and I have horns. Duh, it's called The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints)


There are sooo many more. They are hilarious!

Answer 3

Captain Galatic- You are Wrong- Joseph Smith had at least on other wife- Most think that he was married to Eliza Snow. If there were more wives than that, it is unknown. Child brides, not at all. Read his history- you will find a story about how he refused to live polygamy and the Lord made it clear that he had to. This is probably a big part of the reason Emma stayed in Nauvoo. He did not have hundreds though. Just two or three.

The rest of yours are just rumors though and some are completely made up.

Answer 4

The best rumor I heard was that Oregon Flower is actually a member who, having spent years in debate class, now loves to play the devil's advocate.

Answer 5

Once again, my favorite ones from the ed decker site even tho i am an ex-mormon, sorry ed decker.
1. the mormons steples are built to stop the second coming from coming, wow.
2 the handshakes done in the temple will sexual evolve a person, ok.
3. an ex satanist who was able to sneak intot he temple said that the new name and garments are the same as satanist wear, therefore mormonism is the same as the satan religion, alrighty then.

Answer 6

oh my, what to begin?

1. Joseph Smith had many wives. (disproven a thousand times over. JS had only one wife)
2. We hide missiles in temple spires
3. Baptism for the dead involved actual corpses.
4. we can't eat apples
5. We can't eat ice cream
6. We buy stock in Budweiser beer. (proven false)
7. We preach about 4000-year old quakers on the moon.
8. Mormons have horns.
9. We practice cannibalism, kidnap children, do blood rituals, and make virgin sacrifices.
10. We have God's head in the Salt Lake temple and worship it. It is either that, or we worship a stuffed seagull. Clogging naked in the temple. (courtesy of Shorty McGee Penguin Lover)
11. We wear magic underwear.
12. Mormons don't believe in the Christian Bible
13. LDS still practice polygamy (actually, part of it's true)
14. Mormons believe that God the Father and Mary had sex to have Jesus.
15. Mormons don't believe in the divinity of Jesus. (The biggest one yet)
16. Mormons are conspiring to rule the world.
17. Mormons believe that Adam is God the Father.
18. We have sex in front of our children.
19. We use genealogy resources to compile hit lists for those who oppose our "fanatical regime"
20. we own the coca-cola company (also proven false)
21. ever heard of the "Haunted Mansion" horse story?
22. We sport pagan symbols like the sun with the face on it.
23. The temple spires are actually phallic symbols
24. Non-mormons know more about the church than do its members (what a joke!)
25.Those who fall away from the church are shot on sight. (If that were true, we wouldn't have ex-mormons around here and maybe less anti-mormons. wallah!)

and my most favorite one:

25. We're a cult.

If you ask me, most of them seem far-fetched.

Answer 8

all i can say is...that Oregon flower is a juvenile product of her ignorant environment. Keep preaching the hate girl.

Answer 9

It's a cult. It's unbiblical. They follow a false prophet. All of these are truths, not just rumors.

Answer 10

I know a lot of facts about their cult organization, but haven't heard a single rumor. Sorry.

God bless!
