The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of the most amazing churches on this earth. Did you know that the LDS church is the 5th largest in America? If it's a cult, how come its membership numbers are so high, growing to over 13 million worldwide? It is also the fastest-growing, and it has the biggest genealogy database in the world. Now, there are a few rumors I've heard about the church that I really need to debunk:
--Mormons don't practice polygamy.
--Mormons do NOT have horns.
--Mormons believe the Bible as well as the Book of Mormon to be scripture, and we focus our studies equally amongst the two.
--The Mormon religion is most definitely NOT, I repeat, NOT a cult.
--There are NO such activities such as sacrifice, sexual perversions, or women-beating going on in the temples around the globe. I've been inside, and besides, they're just too pretty and stand out too much to be houses of Satan. Does every chick house and drug dealership stand out as white and pure and simple as these temples do? No. They blend in.
--Mormons do NOT believe men are superior to women.
If you have any other questions about the LDS church, feel totally free to ask. Remember: the best way to find out about the church is to ask Mormons. That's what the missionaries are for, and you've probably seen these shirt-and-tie, bike-riding, name-tagged young men before. Consider this: if there are two rival companies competing for customers, one of them is probably going to say nasty things about the other to get more customers. But ask them about themselves, and they're totally open for a questionnare. Companies = churches, customers = members.
