Today, Mormons are known for their clean living and dedication to church and family. They disapprove of abortion, homosexuality.But that same dedication sometimes raises eyebrows. Because the church operates without any paid staff, every member is expected to take on a job, known as a "calling," to help run the church.
Edit: I removed the comment that LDS members do not believe in Birth Control. As per the official church hand book the church takes no stand point on the matter, other than, that a couple should prayerfully consider what is best for their family. I am an active member in good standing with my church, my husband is a member of the bishopric in our ward, and we have always used Birth control between our children. It is a personal choice.

Why do Mormons twitch?
Uh... They don't. I've been a Mormon in Salt Lake City my entire life... I've known literally THOUSANDS of Mormons, and I've only known one that had a twitch. He had a muscular disorder that made him twitch, it didn't have anything to do with his religion. Are you thinking perhaps of the Shakers? or the Quakers?
