My Mormon in-laws who live out of state rarely visit but feel so compelled to do genealogy that they bring a laptop to work on it instead of paying attention to the grandchildren for a couple of days. I guess my children will have to get to know the grandparents by researching their family history when the grandparents are dead.

I like truth’s post, and just to back that up here is a direct quote from the Articles of Faith from the book of mormon: We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-we believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek afterthese things.

What the church preaches is love and if all of us have that love in our hearts, surely light and truth will bear many fruits, for our heavenly father is just and want everything he has for his children

What many persons fail to see is that our temple ceremony is not a copy but a restoration of all things, as they were taught to Adam. Adam being the first prophet was taught all these things by our heavenly father, and because of the breaking away, alot of those teachings went among different people an were cultarised to fit different cultures.

Joseph Smith himself was too short a time, being a mason to copy their entire ceremony, for he was only a mason for the last two years of his life, and I do beleive the Kirtland temple was built before he became a mason in Nauvoo.

Criticising the Mormon church and posing all sort of heresay won’t help, as the church will grow under the direction of Jesus Christ.

As people yes, WE NEED FACTS, and in any case ask of god and you will receive. The urim and thummin are not magic eye glass as many ppl tend tonick named them, but originally a stone ( or something looking like that) which was the source of translating as was used in the days of old.

Heres the bottom line, I like the conversation here! But what most fail to see is that the “Mormons” arent out to hurt anybody! Do we believe that Jesus is Lucifers brother? Yes we do but we dont believe that Jesus acts the same way as Lucifer! They are two diff. people just like me and you are two diff. people but yet we are still brothers! Heres the thing, even if this Church, the mormon Church that is, Even if this church is not the One true Church even if by some misguided man we are not he Latter day saints, following what we believe and participating in the churchs programs are going to improve your life and impact those around you in a positive way. Even if this church is all for not it still the most honest and true church on the face of the earth, look and you will see. Go to a sacrament meeting talk with others about the church get off the internet and go look for yourself! If you are not impressed with the true spirit of god then you will know for sure! Its still a great thing a true blessing to have this gospel on the earth. theres no other church were you have the Top men of the church speak directly to you plainly and give you the best advice you could seek, real honest adivce and counsel for your famil and for your life! they speak on loving one another and seeking good wholesome things in your life! I cant say it more plainly go and see for yourself theres a reason so many people join this church! Its TRUE! God bless and goodnight!
