The LDS Church Anmeldelser 46

The founder, seer, revelator and prophet Joseph Smith has a questionable image. Treasure digging, spiritual seeing golden plates in the wood, translation of the golden plates with the aid of a seer stone in a hat, the highest authority of the restored Kingdom of God on earth, polygamy, child marriage, causing of social turmoil in those days.
If you are rejecting all the aforementioned and looking for the correctness of decency, you are on the right address to become a member of the Church.
As far as I'm concerned the finances and the cash flow of the Church has not a Christian attitude. In my country and city, money doesn't reach the members that are in financial need. The intentions of decency correctness is the only reason I give them 2 stars.

The Mormon church is a company and that's all it is. They hide money in fake companies and that about says it all. The best word to describe them is puke.

They almost killed me. They are a bad group of people. involved in bad stuff with Lifestream. What an evil cult. cragies

I have been a life long member, and though there will always be questions that arise, I have found legitimate answers to those questions. With 48 years of scrutiny, I have come to the conclusion that this is the real deal. The church really is run by revelation from Deity. Anyone who gets offended here and gives a poor review is looking to be offended by something. That being said, all people would do well take advantage of the happiness and stability that comes from a commitment to this faith.

Such an amazing church full of really nice people who seem very Christlike. 100% would highly recommend. The teachings and organization are consistent with the Bible and the church can be found pretty much anywhere globally. So cool!

The morman church is a joke, I don't go to the church but my mum does and I drop her off every Sunday, Last week Sunday 2nd I dropped my mum off like I all ways do, and some coward went to the bishop and told him I was loitering near the church for 15 minuets, I explained to the bishop that I went straight away after dropping my mum off. I wear a hat and a mask because of my mental illnesses I which I explained all that to the bishop I also told him to check the cameras, has this will show I left straight away, now because of this I won't take my mum to the church anymore. That person who said I was loitering around the church is a liar and I disgrace. This tells me that the Morman on Chester lane St Helens Merseyside is a fake church.

Ever since I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2016 life has only gotten better, while they accepted me as who I am everyone else neglected me just because I'm autistic.
I have been given opportunities to share my talents and serve others. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints show great care for me and generously given up their time to help me in times of need. I have seen the church lead so many service projects to help people like Refugees, donations of food and clothing.
Experiences in The House of the Lord, the temple are so reverent, peaceful, and spiritual. As I have done my best to keep sacred covenants made in the temple the windows of heaven have remained open. My experience studying the Bible, The Book of Mormon, and the D&Cs with the Holy Ghost has given me a spiritual witness that God is our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Redeemer.

I can testify with a spiritual witness, that Jesus is the Christ, and He has restored His Church, the everlasting gospel, the priesthood to perform sacred ordinances, and revealed The Book of Mormon to enlighten the world that Christ is the way, truth, and life.
I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

My parents raised me to believe in the LDS teachings from birth, and I was a member for 30 years. Although there are many positives about membership in this church (all of which are similar to many religions), it relies heavily on members ignorance of church history in order for people to join the church, and to commit to it. It discourages critical thought and learning about it's past. It is dishonest to it's membership with financial dealings (it was recently fines $5m US by the SEC for attempting to hide $32 billion in investments in shell companies, without offering an apology to it's betrayed membership). It is greedy - with all its wealth (both by the church and it's investment arm which it has full control of), it's charitable giving outside of the church is a tiny fraction of it's capacity. It breaks up family and friend relationships - the church lifestyle works quite well for a family, until one of the members of the family decides to disassociate with the church. My experience here hasn't been too unpleasant relative to others experiences of being shunned, but my relationship with all of my family has suffered as a result of me leaving the church or trying to share my experience of leaving. The church creates a culture of independance on the church and its teachings, damaging self-esteem and self-worth. I have found greater happiness, self-worth and inner strength by not being a member of this church.

This church had a raffle for a painting at a festival. We were contacted 2 days later and told we had won. They contacted us 3 additional times to say the painting was on the way. On Nov 23rd I contacted the main church and was told it was on the way. Today Dec 6th I was AGAIN told, it’s on the way. How can a church be so dishonest?
This church represents how Satan works and not how Christian’s should be.

Hello,

My son was illegally ordained a teacher just this past March. I am the father, who was to do the ordination, and the ordination was done without my knowledge on the only Sunday of which I was not in attendance in my home ward.

The bishop and stake president have avoided to be held accountable and a damaging lawsuit is being pursued. The area authority who oversees the Utah County, Santaquin Canyon Ward, must contact me or suit deliberations will commence.

My bishop of who approved of the botched ordination is Shane Monroe and the Stake President is last name Wood. Not only did they not support me in my right as a father to ordain my son…They also took it upon themselves to disable my temple recommend, of which I renewed just two weeks prior to the botched ordination - Without telling me the reason of why.

My current Bishop, Bishop Swenke of the Spanish Fork 24th ward is assisting me in contacting the offending parties, since he is supportive to me and will not tolerate the insubordination of such an ordinance. The temple president of the Provo MTC temple is also undergoing an investigation.

I need to know who the general authority is that Stake President Wood answered to, being that it was Wood who acted out of misalignment in following through with church protocol.

Don’t let this email fall on deaf ears.

Been a member for 55 years love to study other religions. I can tell you from research and study and most importantly the witness from the HOLY GHOST that this is the only true church upon the earth. We have a true prophet upon the earth 🌎 again. I thank our Heavenly Father that I have this in my life!!!!

The only true and Living Church upon the face of the earth. Let the truth be bitter. But those who seek truth will come to know that what I said is absolutely true.

I'm not here to ramble about my past experiences with the church were all moving forward here and I see MAJOR PROGRESSIVE IMPROVEMENT! I am happy to call myself a member and I can truly say I believe in this church. I'm so incredibly happy to see such strong progression, I'm in awe. I don't think I even have the words to describe how happy this makes me. Job well done!

I am a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints, and though I am still in primary(ages 6-11) I love the church and believe it to be the true church of christ and I think those of you out there who don't believe in the church should go on youtube and watch "the chosen". it is very moving and sometimes funny

I just read a deacon had shot his poor donkey because he needed his feet trimmed that was a foot and half long he had sores all over him looked horrible .His neighbor had been trying to do what she could .They found a sancuo for him but before they could take him Deacon of LDS church went out and shot the poor abused baby .They had been on Vacation to bad they didn’t think about Zach .You have a good deacon the horrible person should be in jail along with wife she knew Zach wasn’t taken care of and neither one cared .I thought LDS was about love you have the wrong Deacon he’s from hell .How can they go to church and then go home and forget animal .

My encounter with the Church began in Feb 2019, when my granddaughters and I were approached by two Sister Missionaries. We talked a bit and set up a lesson for later. At 1st I was only interested in learning more about the Church. I was skeptical about several aspects. The Sisters brought Church members to each of my lessons. I was impressed by their unwavering belief in The Book of Mormon. I was still skeptical, but was intrigued by the Plan of Salvation. At my next lesson, an Elder told me that if I found one thing to be true, there was no reason to believe the rest was not also true. Then one of the Sisters challenged me to read one chapter of the Book of Morman, and pray about it. I did and felt moved. I examined my doubts and found evidence to support that my doubts were not valid. The more people i met, the more convinced i was that this was the Church for me. I began attending in April and was baptized in July. My life has changed for the better. I think and act with far less negativity. I have learned to be more accepting of others and their opinions. I no longer consume alcohol or drink coffee. I promote the Sabbath day. I have seen no evidence of anyone being anything but welcoming to everyone who enters. Yes, there are "rules" but each is for the members' benefit. I would recommend anyone seeking salvation give this Church a serious look

I give it only 2 out of 52 wives. There are a tone of rules, massive time commitment, constant cries that you are in a cult. On the pulse side, you get Super VIP heaven, carpeted basketball courts, and multiple wives.

A member of the LDS Church Rick fry what personal details that he shared with his children and the children had shared with their biological mother. He was now marrying his fourth wife who is an LDS member. The details he shared with his children that he had cheated on his wife days before they were married. Then he shared with his children that he told his wife that he helped that he could satisfy her in the bedroom because it has been a wild inappropriate to share with your children. After they have been married I believe for a few years for he told his children that they had to leave the home and not to come home until they were told and on that day he had someone break into his home to tell from himself his wife and his children and cleaning insurance. And when the children were younger he had cameras in the bathroom watching everyone who went into the bathroom when their half-brother went to go visit them the children were in their brother not to do any thing funny into the bathroom because their father is watching. He had also picked up his son by the throat up against the wall while his feet were dangling off the ground. When is daughter was bit in the face by a pitbull he never once visited her and blamed it all on her being bit in the face by a dog.

You cannot join in on a loved ones marriage at the temple if you are not a mormon because you will "ruin the sacred spirit". Undercover footage has shown that they practice a strange handshake ritual with a caucasian male standing behind a curtain for the "celestial marriage" ceremony. They have pictures in their churches of jesus as a caucasian male when it's been proven that jesus would have been a jew. When someone does some deeper investigation they would quickly realize that the mormon church is a cult. The Book of Mormon was first published in March 1830 by Joseph Smith who was a polygamist. He had over 40 wives, some still married to other men, some still in their teens and one of which was supposedly just 14 years old. Joseph also married some of his foster daughters. He claimed to have translated the kinderhook plates. His own personal secretary wrote, "President Joseph has translated a portion [of the Kinderhook plates], and says they contain the history of the person with whom they were found; and he was a descendant of Ham, through the loins of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and that he received his kingdom through the ruler of heaven and earth." This was later deemed to be a hoax that of course never happened. The Smith family was involved in folk magic which was later deemed as cult rituals. They practiced animal sacrifice, conjuring spirits and they used magical parchment and talismans. These are only some of the absurd things Joseph Smith did.

The FLDS is a current, still active religion that stayed more traditional in their founder Joseph Smith's ways of polygamy. The LDS decided to branch off from practicing polygamy so that their church could be state accepted in the U.S. In 1890 president Wilford Woodruff issued a revelation from God called “The Manifesto“ that said that it was time to stop the polygamy but many still believe in polygamy after death. A man can choosing to have multiple wives after death is still some mormons theory to this day. I was apart of the church for 5 years and all that we ever focused on was based off of The Book of Mormon. Anyone that finds a church to be okay that originated from a polygamist leader who dictated the text of the entire Book of Mormon by "looking through a seer stone in the bottom of his hat" should seek some mental health therapy.

You can't drink coffee or tea as a member of this church but sugars and soda that are loaded with caffeine are okay, tattoos are extremely frowned upon, a woman can generally only have one piercing in each ear and skirts/ dresses must be knee length (shoulders must always be covered and no cleavage whatsoever), absolutely NO alcohol at anytime, gay marriage is not tolerated, their leaders are all white, primarily elderly men, 10% of a person's paycheck no matter how big or small is required to be collected every month and most of that money goes towards building new churches and temples instead of focusing on helping the members who need the financial help the most, african americans were not allowed to hold the priesthood (be apart of the church) until the 1970's and you will still see today that their are very few involved since many mormons are racists, and lastly don't even get me started on the absurd baptisms for the dead. Baptizing someone against their will, weather dead or not, is just absurd & wrong on so many different levels. It should be illegal nationwide.

Anyone questioning to still be apart of this church, please look into the opposing sides perspective and don't give in to the insane pressure the church holds against you. I know what it's like. I lived in one of the largest mormon dominated societies for all of my younger years, tried the church for over 5 years and, even with all the pressure and guilt bestowed upon me, I found my way out. There are resources that can help you, but also don't speak to your pastor's or fellow members about your confusion, they will only make you feel bad for even questioning the right way to your savor jesus christ. There are other ways to seek & bestow the love of god. Don't give up!

Sun Valley ward in Reno Nevada... You people are rude and not kind or welcoming!!!! I come in with a service dog and I get thrown out!!!! These people are judgmental. There are better churches out there Im sure. If you are disabled like me don't go to the LDS church!!!!!
