Are Mormons and Jehovah Witness the same religion?
Both Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses belong to religious groups founded in America in the 19th century. Both consider themselves Christian and use a form of the Bible. Neither group believes in the Trinity in the same way that mainstream Christians do, with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit equal and of the same being.
Can Mormon eat pork?
Yes. Many Mormons eat pork. Doctrine and covenants 89 v12–13 tell believers that meat is for us to eat (including pork) BUT it is to be eaten sparingly.
Why doesn’t the LDS Church emphasize the cross?
The cross and the work done upon it by Jesus is just not emphasized by the Mormon leadership . Joseph Smith is the only witness to the First Vision, and yet historical records prove that it didn’t happen the way the LDS Church says it happened. Also see this response to the Gospel Topic essay.
What happens when you leave the Mormon Church?
If you ever leave the Mormon Church, you will remain there indefinitely unless you take the effort to get your name removed. You won’t be able to utilize the temple and perform the necessary works for you and your family unless you pay your tithe. If you don’t, you can always do back pay in what is called “ tithing settlement .”
Why are there so many Mormons in Missouri?
The state is run by them, because that’s where they went in the early days when they were run out of towns in Missouri because they were practicing polygamy, stealing other people’s wives, kidnapping daughters, burning printing presses, and raising a militia (something you don’t learn about as a member). So my teachers were all Mormons.
Can I remove my name from the LDS Church records?
This has even been admitted by the LDS Church. Also see here and here. When the missionaries baptize a person, that name becomes a part of the LDS Church records. If you ever leave the Mormon Church, you will remain there indefinitely unless you take the effort to get your name removed.
