More idiot non-sense for the "Mormon do-gooders" who says Mormons do no wrong.
Actor in LDS films booked in jail for felony theft The Associated Press Article Last Updated: 07/16/2008 12:29:47 PM MDT
Posted: 8:41 AM- PROVO - An actor who has appeared in Mormon films has been booked into jail for felony theft. Michael Birkeland was booked into jail for felony theft after a Utah Valley University art instructor told police that he appeared on the Web camera of a stolen computer. According to an affidavit filed in Provo's 4th District Court, Birkeland attended an art class at the school in April as the guest of a class model. Court documents say while he was there, he was seen using an instructor's computer, which was missing after he left the classroom.

wow if that makes the church false then what about all those priest who molested children in the catholic church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true, I know this by prayer and asking and receiving a conformation to my question.People do not make a church the truth lies in the Gospel of our Savior of Jesus Christ, and that is what we teach is his truths, and the Book of Mormon is another testament of our Savior his teachings,and his life. I bear to you the truth of the Book of Mormon,and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Nola Manganaro. we are always attacked because that is the way the advisory works, and our Prophet Joseph Smith was who he and all the other Prophets have said they are. Do not judge it by those who fall into trouble, if so then every religion would be in trouble..Remember the saying Judge not for that is how ye shall be judged, As a member of the LDS/Mormon faith I do not judge you, but ask you too search the scriptures, and find the answer and you too will be a member also, if you do so with a true heart and real intent to know...

Joseph Smith "translated" golden plates given to him by God into english, but he did not translate the "reformed egyptian" into contemporary english - instead he translated them into King James style english. Coincidentally, Joe Smith grew up reading the King James Bible. The Book of Mormon claims the following tools existed in ancient MesoAmerica: chariots, steel swords, bellows for blacksmithing, and silk. None of these were in the Americas until the Columbian exchange. The BoM describes a vast civilization of millions who inhabited cities for hundreds of years, yet no ruins from even a single BoM city have ever been identified. No BoM place-names were in use when Europeans arrived in the New World. The BoM peoples had a seven-day week, but no Mesoamerican calendar matches this. The BoM refers to animals and crops that did not exist in America until Columbus arrived: ass, bull, calf, cattle, cow, domestic goat, horse, ox, domestic sheep, sow, swine, elephants, wheat, and barley. The BoM says that the Native Americans descended from Hebraic (Semitic) origins. However through archaeology and DNA testing, we know that Native Americans descend from Asiatic origins. There are no examples of "reformed Egyptian" in Mesoamerican history. And no Native American language is related to either ancient Egyptian or Hebrew, whereas a relationship does exist between Native American languages and Asian (Siberian) languages. As shown in the Mormon South Park Episode, a woman stole a "translation" from Joseph Smith, and demanded that he replace it with an exact copy saying, "If this be a divine communication, the same being that revealed it to you can easily replace it." Smith refused, and wrote the same manuscript from a different point of view. Joseph Smith was given real egyptian from an ancient Egyptian burial to translate (this was pre-Rosetta stone, and Egyptian could not be read). Modern day scholars agree that his translation is entirely manufactured and incorrect. How can Mormons believe this obvious bologna? In addition - Before Joe Smith "found" the golden plates - he claimed to be able to find gold. He defrauded some people of their money, who ended up digging into the ground and surprise - found nothing. Just like Warren Jeffs, Joseph Smith admitted he defrauded people. He also hid his polygamy and bigamy. Emma's parents did not want their daughter to marry him. Phoenix is horrible this time of year, so hot the bottom of your shoes could melt. They can have Phoenix. It's the armpit of Arizona anyway. Taxi-ing into Phoenix, it looks like H E L L literally.

I am tired of seeing the biggest tax evasion in the history of America. The government needs to start taxing this Moron institution.

Nicki, I'd like to see you bring forth any evidence that "Joseph Smith admitted he defrauded people." He was envolved in a bank failure, but so to were many people and many banks at that time. It was a result more of the infancy of the US banking system than of malfeance on his and other members' part.

What about the catholic church and all of their holdings? Are you going to tax that institution? By the way, it isn't EVASION, if it is legal.

it is our goverment that gives all religion institutes a tax break, and we member of the Mormon faith are taught to obey the laws of the land and we do, wow we even pay taxes. We are no different then you all are we are human we just have accepted the truth and are following our Savior, and trying to live his gospel. I know Joseph Smith saw my Father and my Savior, and that he was called by them to bring forth our Saviors Church,which was lost for a long time due to men and their evil designs, but now it is once again upon this earth,never to be taken, and line upon line, precept upon precept we learn, and more is given to us each day, yes the Book of Mormon is true another testament of our Savior,and those who were here on the Americas. You all know this area was inhabited, by native American Indians as we call them today. or Laminites. How would he know what he knew how could he have done all he did with out the help of our Father in Heaven.If people would stop being hard in the heart, so anti aginst us they would see we are not evil, we are Christians,and we are the true church. But woe unto me, it is not so, but we live in a wonderful nation where we all can live. worship, and be whom we are...This nation was set up by our Father for that purpose. what we all need to do is get together and remember God, and put him back into all we do, even school. Because he is everything and he gives us everything. Nola Manganaro

God does NOT belong in school, that is the most ignorant thing I have heard all week, why should kids who do not believe in god be forced to learn about it?

he belongs everywhere, as I grew up we had him in school, and we were not ashamed of him,or believing in him, today people have forgotten, who they are, where they came from why they are here, so please do not feel sorry for me, feel sorry for yourself for lacking in the wisdom of knowing your Heavenly Father, and all he has done for us, with out him I know I would not be who I am, I am not talking abut teaching about God in School, see you jumped to the wrong conclusion, but allowing prayer to be in if a child so desires it, to sue if a school want to hold prayer before graduation is wrong, these are some of the things that are meant when we say keep God in our schools, that is where the mistake has been made, so sad , but it is the signs of the time.

You cannot seem to separate God from religion. There is a vast difference. And some children love to learn about anything, while others would prefer learning nothing, including Math and History. We don't give them THAT choice. We claim to teach them a bit of everything, allowing them, as adults, to utilize what they learned as a child.

The LDS is not a religion, it's a cult. To be a religion, you have to be taken seriously.

PhxJosh, What nonsense. Why don't you pull your head out of your fourth point of contact and take a breath of air. It might clear your mind up.

I was happy to read that the temple in Phoenix is only one of three new temples in Arizona.

Josh takes it seriously enough, he's certainly on this board throwing accusations and threats around every day of his life. It's a lot of effort to be spent on something he "doesn't take seriously."

so sad that you have been brainwashed as you put it Josh, who told you this church is a cult, see your information has to come from somebody other then you. Someone with a negitive attitude... I am not brain washed at all, and I know the LDS Church is true, I found this out for myself, not by what my family said, I truly found out for myself... Something those who are so anti will not do, all they want to do is destroy, hate and tear down... We do not ( we try not to) argue about it, because Satan is the master of contention... where the spirit is the master of peace... so go ahead yelp, rant and rave, it will not change what I know to be true, it just makes me sad at the closed minded life some people have...

let's get the facts out on the table (about the basis for this religion) It could be educational for all. my understanding is that there are secret tablets buried somewhere but no one knows where? I read this right in the book of Mormon itself. Also that Eden is in the US??

yes lets get this straight: before the earth was flooded Noah was where on the western hemisphere,and if this is correct, which I do believe to be correct, then Eden is here,in a certain part of Missouri, it was the flood that floated him away,and changed what we thought of as to where Adam and Eve first were, then the Book of Mormon put it all correct and made sense of how it was before the flood, then when the Savior was crucified the earth trembled and quaked, mountains fell, mountains were raised.this earth mourned and rebelle.d with quakes, fire and other things at that time. the plated I was always taught were as stated in the Book of Mormon were returned to our Savior. So I know they are in his hands.and I have never bought the story that they are in a mountain, why would he risk them here again espically in this time again of Sodom and gamora. I know I will be blasted for this but just sit and think and you will see feel the truth of what I have written..
