Texas Mormons - Marshall and Jill Hayes

Husband and wife Marshall and Jill Hayes speak about being members of the Church in Texas.

This video is one in a series of videos The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released to better inform the public about differences between the worldwide church based in Salt Lake City and the polygamous group in Texas that calls itself the FLDS.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - whose members are often called 'Mormons" - placed a series of video interviews on its web site to illustrate the differences between its own members in Texas and members of the isolated polygamous group.

The Texas Mormons featured on the video interviews include a director of community theater, an orthopedic surgeon, a Justice of the Peace, a former Houston Oilers quarterback, a news anchor and a young woman with aspirations for medical school.

Kudos to this couple who are blessed so much with talents they unselfishly share and use to help people. Freely they have received, freely they give. They are to be emulated.

I don't think so. But its not what others think that counts. It how I feel about my own worth and how the Savior values me that matters. I know He values all of us.I

In the Mormon church we are encouraged to make the most of what God gives us - as in the parable of the talents. As a result many mormons do become high achievers with God's Help.

As long as you're a good person, there's no reason for anyone from our church or any church to look down on you.

[gabumon2001]

Of course not but we do believe that one should work and grow on the talents they have been given by God.

What if I am not a high achiever,would I be looked down upon @ your Church ?
