As of December 2010, there are 344 missions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) around the world.
There are many splinter groups in LDS church because it is a saint movement. This is the in Latter day churches.
I don't know why you asked that question. "LDS" means "Latter Day Saints" and refers to anyone who is a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or LDS church. That is pretty self explanatory. So the LDS were ALWAYS allowed in the LDS church because the LDS church is made up of only LDS people. Duh.

No. As A Mom is not officially affiliated with the LDS/Mormon Church. The founder, directors, and others do have religion in common, but the website and organization is focused on politics and Glenn Beck's 9/12 project and independent of the LDS Church. This is probably because many members of the LDS Church are fans of Glenn Beck, as he is a member of the Church as well. The LDS Church is unaffiliated with politics and political parties of all kinds, and only gets involved with large moral issues, such as abortion and same-gender marriage.
Yes, the LDS are people. LDS stands for "Latter-day Saint" and is a nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is also used to refer to the Church.
