i dont know maybe they look the same...


but thinking the same..??


i just missed the jehovah witness..!! while i was out shoping..!!

god dammit fuck fuck shit..!!!


i wanted to invite them in

My Aunt married a morman when she was really young. She met him while she was living in Idaho. They still live in Idaho, she has two kids, supports the family while he sits on his lazy ass and does nothing, besides mormon stuff. At one time their family was doing so bad financially that they had no car and she would have to ride her bike home from her job in Boise, Idaho as late as midnight. Which is really fucked up. Now through the family grapvine there has been talk of leaving him but she never does, I swear this man just gives the mormons a bad reputation all on his own.

PS Dora yes I love to bring up the gay/lesbian thing at family events just to watch him wiggle, squirm and sweat. He then gets infuriated when I tell him it is ok to be gay. He then ends the conversation by storming out of the room. The rest of my very conservative family just sits there and shake their heads and tells me that I am to liberal and accepting of things.

I'm ornery. I can't be bothered with Donny & Marie.

Most of my family is/was composed of Mormons. Their actual name is Latter Day Saints because they belong to The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Mormons is some sort of name that was assigned to them,I believe, due to the Book of Mormon that is read as part of their scriptures.

There were many aspects of this religion that I continue to admire such as family unity. However, there were other aspects that I detested.
I will often chat with JW as well. The actually come to my crib more often than the Elders (Latter Day Saints missionaries).

There is good and bad in every group of people just like in this one. As human being we will always remember the bad in people before we remember the good. It's human nature.

I actually find that the JWs are way more accepting and illing to discuss stuff with you than the Mormons. My wife has a friend who is Mormon...and gay! He has basically been disowned by his family. Personally, I think that's pretty sad.

JediMaster I think that you are right in stating that "Mormons" are not accepting of a homosexual lifestyle. This was one of the turn off points for me as I relatives who are gay.

Another issue I had was that women were not treated as equals...

Of course, I have no proof to support neither of these comments.

Are there any "Mormons" in the house???

I live in Utah right now as I'm attending the University of Utah to get my master's. In any case, I've learned a lot about the Mormon belief system, and there are quite a few quirks. I'll only list the most striking ones:

• Women cannot get into Heaven unless their husbands do. If their husbands go to Hell, by default, the women go to Hell. That is why women are to seek a "godly" husband. If the woman dies first, she waits in the "lobby" at the gates of Heaven. Apparently, even if her husband goes to Heaven, he can still send his wife to Hell.
  
  
• Some Mormons believe that if you pray enough, you can get your own "heavenly body" (i.e. a planet) of which you are declared the leader.
  
  
• A marriage in the main Temple (away from which I live only about 2 blocks) supposedly guarantees fertility and salvation.
  
  

That is some fucked up shit. I wonder how much of that Julie buys into. Wouldn't you love to talk to her about some of that stuff? Are these still current beliefs held by most Mormons?

As far as I know, yes. I don't have enough examples to even pretend to speak with any authority on this issue, but my neighbor confirmed it all, and he is a pretty high-ranking member of the Temple.

TRON said:

I'd love to talk to Julie about it.

I bet she's got a few of her own theories.

I can't see her following the pack at all.

I wish she'd follow my pack.

did u look the same as ur profile pic when u invited them in?.. i'd love to see the frightened little looks on their faces then..

While living with my grandparents, who are both "Mormons,"
I've never heard none of these theories. In fact, they both renewed their vowes at the Temple in order to "be together in heaven after death." At least that's what they told me. I don't know about you but that's some pretty cool shit.

Additionally, my grandmother always made a point of saying that everyone "must aswer to God" and that everyone is reponsible for their own actions here on earth. She never nagged my grandfather to death about the cigs he was sneaking in.

There are also many variations of Mormons out there...

Is anyone out there an active member of the church who can shed somelight on these issues?

Dora, can you ask the missionaries that come to your house about this? It would give you an excuse to have them over again...

Hi Moonbeam! Have you been to a LDS standards dance yet?

I am not LDS, but living in UT.

Other unique traits of the LDS church...

You can baptize someone who is already dead, okay it's by proxy. (Hence the need for a geneology library right across the street from Temple Square, so you can look up all your dead relatives and save their souls)

When you are married in the temple, (the marriage is sealed), the husband is given a special, secret name for his wife to use to call her into heaven. No call...no go.

You can have your 10% tithing removed directly from your paycheck.

You can take special church sponsored classes to help you not be homosexual.


Ronnie, your grandmother was a good woman and your grandfather a lucky man. I've seen marriages break up over smoking, chewing tobacco and other similar issues because the church doesn't approve.

The Mormons are in on the plot with Richard Nixon! Don't let them in! They want to brainwash you, and take you to their home planet of Mongo, where you will be made into mindless slaves, riding bikes door to door!
