  it looks in favor of mormons and ignores the many signs of it being a cult.

  Hi, Winston,

  How do I feel about polygamy? Is this a multiple choice question?

  Basically, it exists around the world and pretty much always has. Many countries, many cultures, many religions. It existed according to God's word (if you believe the Bible) in Old Testament times. And according to God's word (if you were Mormon back then) in the 1800's. According to God's word today, and anciently, if you are of certain middle eastern religions. Certain African tribes practice/practiced it. Some of our American Indians did. (Please don't anyone say "which tribes/Africans/middle easterners". Do your own research. Definitely not hard to find.)

  The topic cannot be adequately covered in one posting. Cannot even be adequately touched on in one posting.

  Mormons haven't practiced it in over 100 years.

  Did I hit on what you wanted to hear?

  Hi, Jelly,

  Pretty good posting. Two other things that set us apart...One you already alluded to...The concept that if people are given correct principles, they can be trusted to govern themselves. The other is that men (and women) are that they might have joy.

  These two embody all that is Mormonism in its simple fundamental essence.

  Thanks for clarifying that we are not a cult. It can't be said often enough.

  Nice posting!

  Hi, Ghost,

  Do we have the same rules about disfellowshipping and apostacy as who? JWs? I don't know what your rules are, I only know what ours are, so I really can't compare.

  I do know we don't shun anyone. Ever. We consider those who have transgressed to be in need of more fellowship, not less. They need the love and support of the congregation more then than ever.

  Secondly, it's not a punishment, per se.

  Third, I simply don't know enough about what else you want to know to comment more.

  Hi, Naeblis,

  SIGH -- It's sad, I know, but Mormon men today can only have one wife. They're deprived but holding up well under the circumstances. We feed them lots of jello.

  : )

  Winston,

  I have no idea where or if you are wrong. Are you?

  I only said I was well-versed on the topic of the magazine article in question. (Now if you were the author of said article...) LOL

  Bboyneko,

  Hey, why didn't I get one of those cars?? Where was I when they were handing them out? Oh, yeah, probably in line mixing up the "special" koolaid we don't have either.

  Thanks for the joke!

  P.S.

  That I say his research was faulty and his overall tone snide makes me "like a JW"? I don't think so.

  Don't paint with such a broad brush. Errors in research occur. Some deliberately, some despite best efforts. Spotting them is easy if you are well-versed in the subject matter, as I am in this one.

  Unlike what you may think, we LDS do not feel a need to gloss over anything past or present. Again, please don't lump all religions together. We are not JWs. They are not us. We aren't Catholic, Baptist, or Presbyterians either. They aren't us. Look at us individually and you will be better off.

  bboyneko,

  And honest, sincere, happy, and tolerant of those who choose not to see any of the above in us.
