I don't like the LDS religion any more than I like the JW religion. I find a lot of the doctrine pretty kooky.

I feel sorry for the believers of any faith that teaches exclusivism: "If you don't believe what we teach then you won't get the reward." (But doesn't that describe most of Christianity?)

I wouldn't say that Mormon women have less power than JW women unless you are talking about women who are part of the polygamist groups, which are not "mainstream".

Most Mormons are conservative Republicans who are very much into business and the making of money. That goes for many of the women too. The Mormon church encourages it's members to go to college and to plan for the future.

I grew up in and currently live in Utah. I never thought I'd find myself defending Mormons, (the people, not the doctrine) because overall it's a pain in the butt living here and not being LDS.

But most of my family are LDS. The people that own the business that I work for are LDS. They're all regular people.

Yes, there are fundementalist, fanatical Mormons, but they do not represent the norm here.

I get a kick out of the fact that my sister won't drink coffee, but she drinks a six pack of coke a day. It's hypocritical, but no more hypocritical that the things that most believers in other religious faiths do everyday.

circe, who would never ever become a Mormon

circe, it is just my own experinece.... Many JW wives claim to be in complete subjection to their husbands but when it comes down to it they do as they please. I'm not talking about religous doctrine but everyday life. What goes on at home is totally different than what happens in public. I've heard many Mormon women speak about their lack of power in their marriage. They attributed it to their religion.

Truth be told if a JW wife is smart enough she can weild the Scriptures for her protection. Of course this doesn't work with a wife beater or a moron that won't change but you have those in every culture. I researched all there is on women in WT literature. It all comes down to this: In the reasoning book it says that Jah did not intend for men to dominate women but they do so only because they are not in subjection to Him.

So one can reason that a JW husband that is dominating his wife is not in subjection to Jehovah. I've used this on many an elder works every time...LOL

And we were talking about the polygamist kind...lol I was trying to get him to see the bright side of this....

LOL

Honestly, the women who are or who are willing to be in a polygamist marriage are some of the scariest looking women in all of Utah.

Of course, the scariness could be due to the sack-cloth dresses, no make-up, hair in braids wound up Princess Leia style, all topped off with kedds shoes and baggy cotton tights. [8>]

Female Mormon polygamists make Amish women look like super models.

oh boy, tdogg, good luck with that...hopefully your wife will carefully research the religion and not jump in with both barrels..... The Mormons were on my street yesterday afternoon chatting with the lady across the street. Funny, they didnt stop here.....they stopped trying with me :)
I think some of their beliefs are downright blasphemous but I just gotta love 'em anyway.... look at the Osmonds what a nice family :) And those fellows who came over here before, trying to convert me, what a polite couple of young men! They had the "meek and mild" thing down pat.
whats the deal with the green Jello?

So where in Utah do you live circe2? Did you attend a congregation in SLC?

Actually, the Mormons don't teach that if you don't belong to their faith that you are doomed.

They believe in the 7 heavens and that they will be in the "7th heaven" if they die faithful. When I asked what this Mormon thought would happen to JW's he said "Oh you'd probably end up on the 6th level." I asked if I would know that I was not completely happy since I was not on the 7th level and he said NO......so, for me, I told him, I had nothing to lose by not converting.
