Mormon IntroductionThe teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a. the "Mormons") are often confused with those of Evangelical Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, and even the Amish. While we respect all these religions, our beliefs are in many ways distinct from theirs. Aside from confusing us with those of other faiths, many subscribe to the misconceptions and myths about Mormon doctrine that abound on the Internet and in popular culture.The purpose of this site is to dispel some of the many misconceptions about the Church and its members. The site should be useful both for those considering converting to Mormonism and for those who are merely curious about our basic beliefs. |

Very informative. Thank you for your work on this site. It actually helped clear up some questions I had about your faith. - Katerina
Your website is great. You have done some wonderful research. I am a member of the LDS Church and your information is so useful. Especially the misconceptions. I could have used your answers many times, but now I can send my friends of other faiths to your website. - Melody
This is a wonderful site and a great informational tool. You have put a lot of time and heart into this. Thank you so much for that. I refer to this site often. Thank you again. - Tanera
Hey, your website is excellent!
I haven't been through the whole site yet, but just by looking at the first page it looks pretty good!
Thanks - Rachel
This is an excellent website. As the only member on my side of the family (my husband and his family are members), I always get asked the questions that you address here. I couldn't have said any of it better myself. Thanks! I am kind of a news/info junkie, so I will definitely send links if I find anything new. - Presto!
I think that it is cool that you made a website about Mormons/LDS! Good job at making it to! - Jake A
Awesome website! I'm really trying to study more about my religion so I can explain it to other people, and I agree this is a very useful tool. Thanks! - Mike C.

Good work on your website. I have seen other sites set up by LDS church members, that weren't as comprehensive or as accurate as yours. Keep up the Good Work. - Guitarpicker56

Thank you for what you are doing. It is pretty crazy how some people are blinded by ignorance and still attack us. If only they knew the truth about what we are trying to tell them. - Anna

This is a really nice site to come upon. Usually I see only sites that are saying that Mormons are evil and that our beliefs are bad. Thank you for using your limited time to make this site! - Anonymous

Way to go. Love the site. Way to take matters into your own hands and follow Elder Ballard's recent mandate to "join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration." - Rick M

I'm so glad that you've decided to set this site up. A lot of people are confused with the religion and with this site it definitely helps with the confusion, and gets people in the right direction of our true beliefs. - Betty

Recently a friend at our church brought a "film" to my attention. Her son apparently was sent a web link from someone. It's a movie clip that has been recently released, or is about to be. I'm not sure. Anyway, it depicts mormons as flesh eating ghouls, and it is just awful. On behalf of myself and my husband, and our mormon friends, I would like to make sure that young people are not subjected to this terrible conception of our faith. Please let me know if you are able to help. - Lee

What a nice site! Hope you're doing well in school (I'm a nurse). I'm not of your faith but I have tremendous respect for LDS. Jesus said, "In my Father's house, there are many mansions". So even though I am not of your faith, we are neighbors in His love. May the good Lord keep you and your beautiful wife blessed.
Webmaster: What kind words! Perhaps one day we'll work together. :) - Gwen Brewer Fellow Mormon

Just wanted to let you know I think the Q&A section is such a great feature. Some people have asked questions there that I never would have thought of. I leave on my mission in less than a month, and it makes for great practice! Thanks, and God bless.
Webmaster: Happy you enjoy that section. It's one of my favorites too. Good luck on your mission, friend. - Anonymous

I am a mormon and I think it is great. Some of my friends think I am weird because I dont believe that there is more than 1 God or others think I am weird because they believe that there is no God.
Great site. People can really see what mormons are. - Susan Rahschulte

I saw your shows they were really funny, and I'm soooooooo happy you created this. My friends don't even think I'm Christian. It's so nice to see people standing up for what we believe, through media even. I'm so happy, thank you, thank you. - Joerg M.

Hello I am Joerg from Germany. I am very impressed of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Very good trained singers in there.
I would like to get in contact with some of the singer ladies of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. - Anonymous

This website is so great! You have no idea how many lives you've probably blessed by your motivation in helping others understand the chruch. God will bless you many times over. - Monica

I'm a member myself and I'm thrilled to see that someone took the time and effort to make a site that explains all of this. I just hope that many people that are not members will take the time to read this and understand who we are and what we stand for. - Chris Steele

Thank you for creating this site. I have recently got back in touch with an old family friend through facebook. Her religion is displayed as LDS which I knew very little about. I have used your site to educate myself and found it to be very informative. It is very nice to have found a source of knowledge such as this. Although I am by no means active in religion I value its importance in society. I also respect the views and values of all peoples religions. I am looking forward to meeting up with my old friend immensely, the fact that I now know and understand her faith that little bit more has made me a very happy man. Your site has added to the smile on my day so thank you. - Jamie N

I am a 30 yr old female raised catholic and this sat 12/26/09 I will be baptized mormon and comfirmed on Sunday in church. I was so anti-mormon for years even though my fathers (passed away) family is all mormon. My mom, sister and I recently moved from Jersey to Utah and after a yr I opened my heart and gained my testimony. My family is supportive and just wants me to be happy.
Webmaster: Congratulations Jamie! - Valerie in Texas

I never met a single mormon in my life, but I belive they are Druid / Wiccan type cool guys, just Christians.
El Santo Gringo: Not sure what you mean, but I'll take it as a compliment! :) Thanks for visiting my site. - Grandpa Chet

Perhaps he means he's only met married mormons? That would be the majority of us adults, I believe.
El Santo Gringo: Ah... that would make sense. :)
