Mormon
Anyone on here LDS, or former LDS? If so please PM me.

Most practicing people prefer the term LDS, for Latter Day Saints.

Not yet, but by choice. I want to wait until after my wedding for my baptism and some final things I need to do, because I feel like I just can't give it as much dedication as it needs right now.
So I'm taking things very, very slow :) |
Can you get married in a mormon church without being mormon?
My cousin dated a LDS for a while and we were under the impression that the custom only allowed LDS persons in the church. I am from the south and do not know anything about LDS. As you can tell, I do not have a clue about LDS beliefs. |
My boyfriend and his family are former Mormon, that's 'bout all I know.

No. At least that's what I've been taught so far, there may be exceptions. Quote:

Ooh, now that's one I don't have an answer to, beyond an educated guess.
Beta? :) |
Sairose-
I remember reading this book in English class, and you may enjoy it. The author is Terry Tempest Williams, and the title is "Refuge". She is a naturalist in Utah and the book is about all these women she knows being diagnosed and dying from cancer. There is a parallel with the Great Salt Lake being affected. Though it isn't a main theme, she talks about her LDS faith, and it gave me a new perspective. It is also a really well written book. I am sure you'll get a giggle out of this Ginger...I went to Women's Relief Society with my friend one Sunday, at the single young adults Ward. The topic was "Where is Zion and what does it mean to you". Let's just say I was very confused as *my* idea of Zion had nothing to do with Utah, or LDS, but with National Parks and Judaism. I was teased briefly, and they let it go until...Munch and Mingle. I called it "coffee hour". ISUKappa and sageofages likely understand the post worship coffee hour phenomena I speak of. I also left my bible at home at the National Gathering last winter, but my genius sister pointed out that there would be at least the New Testament in the drawer and I could use that. However at the Marriott The Book of Mormon is also is the drawer. You can guess which one I grabbed before I had coffee and went to worship...luckily no one else noticed. |
The new Temple here in NYC is open to the public for a while and I cannot WAIT for my tour on Friday evening :) I have some distant family members who are LDS and it's gonna be neat to go there.
|
Ohh...jealous. I'd love to see a temple while it's open to the public. From the pictures I've seen, they are very beautiful!
One of my best friends is a LDS. I remember when I told him I was going greek he was opposed to it on religious grounds. Is this a common belief? |
Okay so I can I re-ask what is a grevious sin. My aunt and her daughter are LDS, and they arent speaking with my side of the family, so I would love to know what it is.
