Mormon church to build 5 new temples worldwide

It has been a few years since I lived there, but NoMo hates Mormons and will unlikely give you a fair perspective. If you are non-Mormon, you may feel a little like an outsider because of the social pressures against smoking, coffee and drinking. Also, almost all social functions: parties, Boy Scouts, youth dances, etc. are arranged thru the Church and if you don't attend you will feel left out. Most LDS are good neighbors and will welcome you. However, expect to feel overwhelmed by folks trying to share their faith with you and get you to join the Church. If you make it clear you are not interested, then things may cool a little, but what will make that cooling seem worse, as I previously noted, most social activities are coordinated thru the Church. Some communities are very provincial and there your children may feel a little ostracized because, despite the counsel of Church leaders, some parents discourage their children from playing with "gentiles".

All they care about is money, 10 percent.
I attended the church when I was young between the ages of 8-12. I can still remember the how they were trying to mold us into thinking how much better it would be to pay. Twenty years later I see how there business has grown there intrest in farming and how they exploit migrant farm labor.
Its all about the money.
I still cant believe how you can convince grown people to wear garments.
I would love to get my hands on the mormon hand book and learn how to manipulate a bunch of people into paying me 10 percent of there money. They need to loan that text to the government, for a fee of coarse that is not taxed.

You sound bitter. Maybe you should take a look at yourself and your own problems instead of attacking a religion.

No problem here, in fact I have never spoke of it until now.
If the profit says you do,no questions. I don't get it?
I have talked to many mormans none of there beliefs are consistent with the others there is no consistency with what is true.
What was so special about Joe smith?
It might have been a believable story in early 1800s but now,come people wake up.
Lds a gathering of bad breath men that want to screw everybodys wife.
Why are there no women bishops? Talk about being fair.
Women are just a slab of meat for breeding to produce more 10% payees
Your living the dream.

They are robots,machines,programed just like those jokers that flew the planes into the world trade center. Explain why they settled in " salt lake city" it's a wonderful place. They settled there because back then nobody in there right mind would have nothing to do with that waste land. Isolated from the world to practice and build a sick cult and use the word of god to cover up there discusting way of life that would not be excepted in the rest of the world. I personally know a couple that on the outside was as fake as they come, turns out that the husband was beating his wife and fourteen kids for twenty years. They divorced and a year later she was shacked up with another chap ready to except and spread his seed.
I don't think that a person should be born into that religion, I think you need to be eighteen before you enter that church that way you can make the choice to think on your own before they brainwash you.

TEST ask any 5 Mormons where there tything goes. The answers will blow you away!

Judging by the way that you type I can tell your just a tweeker.

Sorry about the spelling I did not have the luxury of my home PC.
I had to manage my thoughts between stoplights in traffic on my stolen iPad driving my 2011 model vehicle answering my 4g htc evo.
If tweeker and spelling are the only thing you can throw back you need to pack a lunch and get a good nights sleep and come back tomorrow with something to talk about.
Next you will probably accuse me of being a homosexual.
Go back to your scriptures and don't forget to drop your 10% in the mail, if you need help figuring out what you owe put the numbers in your response and I'll do the math for you minus a small fee.
Hey I might be on to something!
Oops I think there are mistakes in these sentences, should have attended BYU.

They may not be as articulate as one would hope, but they do make great points...

* Look at the stuff that HMH and PPandF post here. One is a native Utahn, the other lives far far away. They are about as consistent in their beliefs and approaches toward their faith as oil and water.

* Joe Smith was a fraud, and the corporation that is the Church of Joseph's Myth of Latter-Day Magic Underwear continues to hide all the troublesome aspects of the man and the faith from the membership. Rather than an objective look at the evidence, members are told to trust in "prayer" as the way to validate whether or not the whole operation is a fraud.

* Nothing could be more true about the men and their bad breath. Just look at David A Bednar as an example. That guy has serious pickle breath issues. And they are horny. Look at Warren Jeffs. He's the closest thing to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young (a.k.a. Bringem Young) living today. Modern LDS claim that the FLDS didn't descend from their branch; it was an offshoot of the split that occurred in Nauvoo. Utter rubbish. They broke off from the current LDS branch when they dropped polygamy so that Utah could be admitted to the US.

* Women ARE the breeding machinery so that the men can reproduce.

I'd therefore say that the poster was completely spot on.

I didn't know Mamones had churches also, probably where Arrrr goes to church.

can i borrow a cross to burn sum taliban alive on??Or burn arsonists/molesters alive-use one of the churches for a burning man fest-sell tickets-front row premium seats would sell fast-hangings too!

Every religion pushes every member to give 10 % in tithing. The difference is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have no paid ministry. So...their money is used to make the world a better place...not buy jets to travel, huge houses, and to have those that lead live a better life than those that don't. Their donations to others are done in private they need no approval from the world. Your not pushed to believe anything just to search, ponder, and pray and find out for yourself. I was taught to believe what I heard or I would burn in hell. The Mormons ask you to to believe what you want with a promise that if you read the Book of Mormon along with the Bible you will know for yourself if it is true. You gain your own testimony and develop your own belief system not that of bloggers or preachers!!!

Hmmmm.... Not exactly.

* From what I read, the seventies and on up thru the Q of the 12 and the First Pres are paid positions. The fact that they choose not to pay anyone below these positions means that the boys in Salt Lake get to keep more of the lucre for themselves - to spend on sparkly new condo complexes, shopping malls, media empires and something called Ensign Peak.

* Not to mention a Granite Mountain Vault in which to store and protect embarrassing historical documents from the eyes of the world at large as well as members who aren't so gullible as you who want to know the truth about their organization.

* Just look at what they do and don't do with your money in your own ward. More than likely you have some poor unpaid schmucks who are "called" to do the cleaning tasks. According to one former ward clerk, his ward raked in over half a million a year in tithing income and was lucky to see $3000 of it come back that same year for the ward's own expenditures. All the rest was snatched up by Salt Lake City - Most of which probably found its way into mysterious shell companies like Ensign Peak.

* Have you also looked at how cheaply the more recent McTemples and McMeetingHouses have been constructed? It's like they only hired one architect - and he used the same sad cookie cutter design for them all. Your facilities make your group look more and more like the McDonald's of organized religion these days. Except for the palatial facilities at Corporate Headquarters, of course...
