The LDS Church Arvostelua 

I give it only 2 out of 52 wives. There are a tone of rules, massive time commitment, constant cries that you are in a cult. On the pulse side, you get Super VIP heaven, carpeted basketball courts, and multiple wives.

A member of the LDS Church Rick fry what personal details that he shared with his children and the children had shared with their biological mother. He was now marrying his fourth wife who is an LDS member. The details he shared with his children that he had cheated on his wife days before they were married. Then he shared with his children that he told his wife that he helped that he could satisfy her in the bedroom because it has been a wild inappropriate to share with your children. After they have been married I believe for a few years for he told his children that they had to leave the home and not to come home until they were told and on that day he had someone break into his home to tell from himself his wife and his children and cleaning insurance. And when the children were younger he had cameras in the bathroom watching everyone who went into the bathroom when their half-brother went to go visit them the children were in their brother not to do any thing funny into the bathroom because their father is watching. He had also picked up his son by the throat up against the wall while his feet were dangling off the ground. When is daughter was bit in the face by a pitbull he never once visited her and blamed it all on her being bit in the face by a dog.

You cannot join in on a loved ones marriage at the temple if you are not a mormon because you will "ruin the sacred spirit". Undercover footage has shown that they practice a strange handshake ritual with a caucasian male standing behind a curtain for the "celestial marriage" ceremony. They have pictures in their churches of jesus as a caucasian male when it's been proven that jesus would have been a jew. When someone does some deeper investigation they would quickly realize that the mormon church is a cult. The Book of Mormon was first published in March 1830 by Joseph Smith who was a polygamist. He had over 40 wives, some still married to other men, some still in their teens and one of which was supposedly just 14 years old. Joseph also married some of his foster daughters. He claimed to have translated the kinderhook plates. His own personal secretary wrote, "President Joseph has translated a portion [of the Kinderhook plates], and says they contain the history of the person with whom they were found; and he was a descendant of Ham, through the loins of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and that he received his kingdom through the ruler of heaven and earth." This was later deemed to be a hoax that of course never happened. The Smith family was involved in folk magic which was later deemed as cult rituals. They practiced animal sacrifice, conjuring spirits and they used magical parchment and talismans. These are only some of the absurd things Joseph Smith did.

The FLDS is a current, still active religion that stayed more traditional in their founder Joseph Smith's ways of polygamy. The LDS decided to branch off from practicing polygamy so that their church could be state accepted in the U.S. In 1890 president Wilford Woodruff issued a revelation from God called “The Manifesto“ that said that it was time to stop the polygamy but many still believe in polygamy after death. A man can choosing to have multiple wives after death is still some mormons theory to this day. I was apart of the church for 5 years and all that we ever focused on was based off of The Book of Mormon. Anyone that finds a church to be okay that originated from a polygamist leader who dictated the text of the entire Book of Mormon by "looking through a seer stone in the bottom of his hat" should seek some mental health therapy.

You can't drink coffee or tea as a member of this church but sugars and soda that are loaded with caffeine are okay, tattoos are extremely frowned upon, a woman can generally only have one piercing in each ear and skirts/ dresses must be knee length (shoulders must always be covered and no cleavage whatsoever), absolutely NO alcohol at anytime, gay marriage is not tolerated, their leaders are all white, primarily elderly men, 10% of a person's paycheck no matter how big or small is required to be collected every month and most of that money goes towards building new churches and temples instead of focusing on helping the members who need the financial help the most, african americans were not allowed to hold the priesthood (be apart of the church) until the 1970's and you will still see today that their are very few involved since many mormons are racists, and lastly don't even get me started on the absurd baptisms for the dead. Baptizing someone against their will, weather dead or not, is just absurd & wrong on so many different levels. It should be illegal nationwide.

Anyone questioning to still be apart of this church, please look into the opposing sides perspective and don't give in to the insane pressure the church holds against you. I know what it's like. I lived in one of the largest mormon dominated societies for all of my younger years, tried the church for over 5 years and, even with all the pressure and guilt bestowed upon me, I found my way out. There are resources that can help you, but also don't speak to your pastor's or fellow members about your confusion, they will only make you feel bad for even questioning the right way to your savor jesus christ. There are other ways to seek & bestow the love of god. Don't give up!

Sun Valley ward in Reno Nevada... You people are rude and not kind or welcoming!!!! I come in with a service dog and I get thrown out!!!! These people are judgmental. There are better churches out there Im sure. If you are disabled like me don't go to the LDS church!!!!!

Religion is a creation of man. Faith is the most important aspect to someones salvation and this website does a great job helping us find our way.

An organisation that takes your faith, loyalty, money and spare time and then basically leaves you high and dry with unanswered questions, unsatisfactory explanations & platitudes, riddled with guilt and confidence stunted , is essentially a very poor investment indeed! Don’t buy! You will be sorry! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
A church based on the ramblings of a mad, narcissistic, fraudulent, compulsive liar in Joseph Smith, will never have a basis of truth only at best half-truths. The pseudo- Christian ideals are an attempt to appear orthodox to other Christians and catch the low hanging fruit. You certainly couldn’t base a healthy, productive and all-embracing life on it. So, for code to live by I would give a 0.
For meeting interesting people with a story to tell I’d give 5/5 however, since most of them have a form of mental illness where they believe in an invisible god and aspire to live with him in an imaginary kingdom on another planet, takes the shine off the whole experience.
The patriarchy of power removed equal opportunities off the agenda for, welll, eternity. So a big nil poits for that too. Grass roots racism towards non-whites is woven into the fabric of all they do, so 0/5 for fair treatment of all races.
Al in all, a bad experience that turns people into zombie sheep, who question nothing and pay just about everything.
As I said, a poor investment which requires you “to give all your time, talents, heart, might, mind and strength and soul to the building up of the kingdom of god, here on earth”. They make you keep this promises- oaths and covenants- in their “Holy Temple”, where you are required to keep
Sacred oaths, even unto death”.
Basically, the Mormon Church is a form of fake ‘fire insurance’- if you keep the commandments, covenants and oaths- you don’t get to burn- in hell for all eternity.
So, in summary, pass and collect £200 pounds this investment will destroy your free will, rob you blind and turn you into racist, mysoginistic fascist.
