I'm from Utah I've lived here for 50 years and I can tell you from experience that the Mormons pad their membership numbers it is impossible once you have been made a member of the Mormon church to get your name off of their membership rolls therefore nobody knows for sure how many Mormons there really are and how many they're lying about

When my ancestors headed to Utah, they sent their entire fortune ahead of them to be held by the Mormon elders there and to set up a residence for them. When they got to SLC, all that was waiting was a dinky little cabin and zero money. That cabin is still on the Temple grounds. Most of my family left both the cabin and Mormonism behind them.

I'm in Utah right now, in what used to be its one non-Mormon majority county, (I think there's more than one now). This area was originally settled by Greek & Italian coal miners & remains the only place in UT where you can buy beer 24 hrs a day-7 days a week at the local gas stations.
I really love it here & even though it's time for me to head off to Colorado now... this little patch of Earth will always feel like my home. :-)

I think every religion has something that requires us to believe. The bible asks us to believe that God created a woman from a man's rib, a man made from dust. The Mormon's ask for belief in tablets that appeared much like the tablets that appeared for Moses. Belief is faith. Everyone is entitled to find their faith if it gives then peace and harms no one. Peace people.

Awhile ago two young Mormon teens knocked on the door and started to tell me about their religion I asked how did it begin. they said two tablets desended from heaven . I asked where are these tablets now, the one teen turned to the other and said " that's a good question "

Mushintiger62, your statement is not true, the LDS do not believe that God, Jesus, & the Holy Spirit are one. Read the Holy Bible, not the book of Mormon.

Mormon churches are architectural delight.

RampageBronson1965, not true. all it take is a signed&date letter requesting dissolution from the church, or simple join another church and advise the LDS Chuch , they will effectively excommunicate you. easy peasy

RampageBronson1965, oh so true. my grandparents were mormon. my immediate family was not including myself. it took years to get our names off of their membership roll. the elders harassed my family for years

Born and raised in Utah and absolutely LOVE it! All my parents, in-laws, family, friends are here, and they are all remarkable people. I absolutely love the geography here, from the Salt Flats to the West Desert to the red cliffs of Moab to the hoodoos of Bryce to the Great Salt Lake! what a wonderful place to live!

TeacherJo why do they believe a male will have 3 wives in heaven?
Mee
Every Mormon I know is a good Christ like person.
I don't understand why people have the need to disrespect this religion and its members.
Shouldn't we rejoice about people trying to do good in this world?!

Been living in Utah for 20 years and have yet to join their cult

Player #2018, it’s the temples that do not allow nonmembers inside, that are cool. Even members must have what is called a temple recommend card, given, if you are considered worthy by your local bishop. Local churches are just plane Jane type buildings.

Jo;49, ask someone to explain it to you.

Player #5520943, no. that is a break off. so is the reorganized church. NOT THE church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints.

Ms. Smoveop2, we have 190 languages all over the world. we are in. over 200 countries. so we have every race color nationality and creed. just look us up.

kat, the Father is a separate being than Jesus Christ. The holy ghost has no body but is a spirit. 3 separate beings.
TeacherJo
Player #3307268, well, our church has a lot of money because members donate 10% of their income. but our church uses funds to buy farms that grow wheat, apples, and cow calf farms to feed people around the world. we are usually the furst on the scene with food and water. blankets. furst sid supplies and medicine to help people
TeacherJo
Thios#1, we are not.

Dreamer 💙, Harassed you mean someone asked them. if they still wanted to belong or not? we're not in the business of harassing anyone. free agency for everyone.
TeacherJo
CosmicJay45030, and that's ok. we hold no grudge against anyone. we all are free to choose for ourselves.

RampageBronson1965, I did it myself 4 years ago. I’m glad I did. Otherwise I would’ve never known I had an inner voice. No one ever told me. So for most of my adult life I thought I was crazy. I wasn’t. I just have an inner voice and often an inner dialogue as well.
Ana
RampageBronson1965, it’s not impossible. You must write a letter to your bishop asking for your name to be removed. The process takes less than a month, but it can be done.

Player #10841070, we have plenty of freedom I can do whatever I want to but I decide not to
Calypso
PJ, that is true I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints ( Mormon) and that is exactly what we teach and believe
Calypso
LargeWeasel65196, we believe they work as one but are not the same person, in the Bible it says multiple times that Jesus is the son of God.
Calypso
EvilEve9, agreed
Calypso
RampageBronson1965, I am LDS and we do take people of our membership roll if they want to leave and they say officially that they do not want to.

Player #10841070, Nor over shadowed by it. Growing up if the church doors opened I had better be on the inside before they closed. Lord don't feel bad on Sunday morning or you will not get to go anywhere the rest of the week until Sunday rolls around again.
Player #129701187
kat, It does indeed say the 3 are 1 as a matter of fact it is even in hymns
Player #129701187
SleepyMonkey67655, I understand it's quite easy to become an X member of the Mormons. They I am told disapprove of everything that is enlightened and fun. I am told

NimbleCavalier81232, you are messed up there were never two tablets except those that Moses wrote the ten commandments on. two tablets would not be able to hold all the god reveals. and the NEVER just appeared from heaven
Jani
nimblemoon, there are no cabins on the temple grounds. were none in the seventies and still none in the early 2000's. been to the square many times.
Lulu
RampageBronson1965, It's because you're male. I grew up in the church and I excommunicated myself in 1986 and had no problem because I'm female.
