This website is really great, I have spent hours watching "I'm a Mormon" videos about all different kinds of people all around the world that all share the same faith. I posted a few of them, but on the website there are way more. Feel free to watch them.
If you want to learn more about us please ask us. One mistake that most people make is going to the internet for questions that they have about us. That is great if you are going to websites like mormon.org, or lds.org. But unfortunately people always find themselves onto anti-mormon websites that say all sorts of weird stuff about us that are almost always either not true, or the twisted truth. Another mistake is asking someone else about us. Would you go to an architect to learn about medicine? No, obviously not. Better yet, would you go to someone who hates medicine to learn about medicine. No. Same goes for religion. Don't go to a baptist to learn about a Mormon. And especially don't go to someone who hates us like anti-mormonss. They just simply will not know or even understand us. If you want to know about the Mormons, go to a Mormon. Same goes if you want to learn about a Catholic, or a Baptist, or a Muslim. if you want to learn about them, go to them. If you don't know a Mormon in person, then you can talk to one online or over the phone http://mormon.org/chat. Don't feel shy or awkward to do so! We WANT to answer you're questions. That may sound strange, but it's true.
One of my favorite questions is "do you practice polygamy?" I love being able to nip that one in the bud. WE DO NOT. a polygamist, is not a Mormon, and if they were or claim that they are, they have been excommunicated from our church. There are a few branches off of our church like the FLDS that practice polygamy, but they are not us! They do have some similar beliefs as us, but they are not us. We tend to get associated with TV shows like "Big Love" and "Sister Wives", but they are not us either!
So anyway, talk to us, we want to share our beliefs. If you don't know a Mormon then go to one of the above links, they are so great! Brows around, ask questions, watch videos. ASK ME!
