The fascinating book, "Candid Insights of a Mormon Apostle: The Diaries of Abraham H. Cannon 1889-1895," illustrates how individual liberty was limited by states rights. On Feb. 3, 1890 Cannon wrote: "The U.S. Supreme Court decided that the Idaho Test Oath, which disfranchises all Mormons is constitutional. According to this oath ... no man who is a member of our Church can vote or hold office.
This decision will doubtless have the effect to eventually debar every Mormon in the whole United States of the rights of freemen ... the time is fast approaching when the Saints will be called to ... save the Constitution from being trampled underfoot."

Has any religious community been the subject of more curiosity, controversy or misunderstanding than the Latter-day Saints? From the time pioneers settled the Salt Lake valley, Mormon culture has drawn the public eye and colored the public record -- for better or for worse.

"It's hard to see what I used to be and see what I am now," Miles said. "I gave a talk in church once about consecrating affliction for your gain. That is what Heavenly Father is doing for me.
"I try to never not have a smile, never get down. I will walk again someday without crutches. Heavenly Father has something in store for me."
@omiolo well your'e yelling, and you said "why do you NOT comprehend?"...sounds like you're saying that I don't have enough intellect to understand...and I must not be a anti-mormon because I haven't attacked you...
@omiolo when someone yells, they are emphisizing something...and how can you say I have limited understanding? because I said exactly what I meant to say?...and I was not forcing anything....it seems like you are forcing me to not force lol...
@omiolo who said I'm a anti mormon?...you're just assuming that...and no nessicarily, but when people yell they are defninetly emphisizing something, like "LOOK OUT!" or "GET AWAY" or "I LOVE YOU!"...

Christensen described the temple as a refuge from the routine of everyday life, where attendants are able to ponder eternity. She shared several examples of the blessings that come from temple service and spoke of the major role that has played in her life.
"Now is the time to get your lives in order that you may be worthy to go to the house of the Lord," she said, quoting the "Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley. "Get a temple recommend. Get it now. If every man and woman … would make that resolution and go to work to be worthy of a temple recommend, your lives would be blessed, your homes would be blessed, you would feel the Spirit of the Lord in your home.
@omiolo prove to me that im bearing false witness?are you saved? do you know what being saved means? whats the mormons defenition of salvation? did you know j.s. had 31 teen wives emma knew nothing about? what type of prophet would do that? i though prophets were righteous. why did j.s. sow the vail of Jesus that was ripped in 2 back up an put it back up in a temple? how do you know mormonism is true? what is sin to you? do u know what the book of mattew says about it?
Dont get evil on me now! hav u any idea about the pain and suffering, and affliction Jesus went thru for our sins?dont you feel like weeping for him as i do often?I mean his skin was shreded for YOU,his beautiful hands and feet were nailed to a tree, he was beaten and spat on, he had his hair ripped from his folicals. Cant you help but to want to weep for him? thats the spirit! your spitting in his face just like the centurions did by following j.s. To you, what he went thru,meant nothing
@omiolo Prove to me that im bearing false witness?If you knew me personally, all id brag about are my weakness, thats when Christ is perfect in me. So God forgive me when i ask, dont you feel an abundance of light in me? i dont feel any light in you.REV 21:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book(KJV) the book of morms is an add-on is it not?

In 1950, after a pair of missionaries were jailed for several weeks on charges of spying, all missionaries were forced out of the country as the Communist regime disallowed the LDS Church. An added insult: The announcement came on April 6 — on the 120th anniversary of the LDS Church's organization and during Easter Week.
Much of American music and society in 1962 was in sync — in a way perhaps never before or since — with the buttoned-down world of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Suburbs and large, baby-boom families were in vogue, and that made the Mormons, who’d fled to Utah to escape persecution in the 1840s, look more like everybody else than they ever had.
Theistic forces, be they Islamic, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant or Mormon, teach that there is an absolute right and wrong," he said. "Theistic forces have an ethic that reveres the righteous judgments of a loving God and obeys civil and divine law voluntarily.
"We tried to make this as much of a ward effort as possible including the young women and Achievement Day girls," she said. "We have truly enjoyed this project. We have had newly baptized sisters and less-active members come out to help and it is such a great way to get to visit and know the sisters better. We are the ones who are blessed to be able to participate in this project."
This was a "martyrium," a Christian building-type common in late antiquity, intended to commemorate sites of special significance (often, the tombs of saints). The doubled-octagonal shape permitted pilgrims to walk around the sacred space without actually stepping on it. (The Muslim Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, built by Christians because Islam hadn't yet developed its own architectural tradition, is of the same form.)
The closing words of the Old Testament contain Malachi's promise that Elijah the prophet would be sent before the Messiah to fulfill an important mission:
The serpent as a dual, polar symbol emerged in the cradle of civilization during the earliest periods of history. Serpent symbolism among the ancient Egyptians demonstrates the most glaring contrasts between worship on the one hand and abhorrence on the other.
And Joanna Brooks, one of the organizers of the "Our Visions, Our Voices" tour, explained it the importance of women coming together this way: "Whatever differences there are between Mormon women -- whether we think of ourselves as plain Janes or scholars, professional writers or amateurs, feminists or conservatives (or some combination of these!) -- are far outweighed by the strength of our common experiences and heritage."
They must dig deep if they want to communicate their experience in a meaningful way to others. When I encounter this deep self-exploration, by reading or listening to their words, it enriches my experience and understanding not only of Mormonism, but of life itself."
the lds church is corrupted. Their preachings are false just like the lie that real jews are black put out by the black supremisits. no evidence that either is true. and they were surely not white. They were Olive-toned.
No sir, you are sadly mistaken. You are judging, and do not recognize the words of the scriptures, and they teach that more scriptures would come, and that they would teach more about the God that made us, and brought Moses out of Egypt.
