Do Mormons have the same first names?
No, definitely not! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can give their children any name they want, and converts keep their given names. Some people mistakenly think that the titles that are used by Mormons are their first names. Mormons commonly address each other by "Brother", "Sister", "Elder", and "Bishop". These are not their names but just titles, like calling someone "Mom", "Doctor", or "Mayor".
What do Mormons call non Mormons?
Most Mormons are not mean in calling non Mormons names. When referring to non Mormons, they are usually called non members. It's not to offend people, it's just when you're classifying all non Mormons, you have to say something. Former Church President Gordon B. Hinckley suggested called non Mormons "Friends of other faiths" as a kinder-sounding term, but it didn't really catch on. ^^Good answer. When referring to someone who is not a member of the church we call them non members. If they are a member but hardly ever go we just call them inactive. Its not in anyway to offend anyone.
Does Heber City have to do anything with non Mormons?

Are Mormons generally Prettier than other people?
Mormons have standards called The Word of Wisdom. Mormons aren't generally prettier than other people. It's just that they don't drink, smoke, or the like. Drinking and smoking are bad for your health and they disfigure the body.
Where do most Mormons live outside the US?
Of the 13,824,854 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide, 7,785,947 live outside the United States.

Do the mormons believe that jesus died on a pole instead of a cross?
No, Mormons believe that Jesus was crucified on a cross, just like most other Christians. Mormons believe and study the Bible throughly, so the accounts there are what we believe. Mormons dont however use the cross as a religious symbol like many other religions... Perhaps you are thinking of the Jehovah's Witnesses? They do not believe that Jesus died on a cross.
How do you cross Mormons land?
Just how you would cross any other land!
Are Mormons buried on top of each other?
This is not a religious practice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church). Mormons typically follow the burial customs of their nationality or culture. You wouldn't expect to see group graves among Mormons unless it was a mass burial or in nations where it is required due to the lack of space for burial plots. Most, if not all, Mormons are buried individually and not on top of each other.
How did the Ute tribe help the Mormons?
At the time of the Mormon settlement in Utah, the Ute tribe was extremely powerful. While they did have some conflicts with the Utes, for the most part they got along. The Utes helped to defend the Mormons against other tribes and even other gorups of white settlers. They also helped Mormons to know how to survive in the harsh climate. In return, the Mormons shared their food with the Utes. Although many Mormons were suspiscious of the Utes, they understood that it was cheaper and more practical to feed them than to fight them.
Who are right Mormons or Christians?
Mormons are christians!!!!!
Will Mormons be saved?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that they are saved by the grace and power of Jesus Christ. Many other Christian groups do not accept this claim and say that Mormons are not really Christians and therefore cannot possibly be saved. Whether Mormons truly are saved is for God to decide. Mormons believe that they are saved, but other Christians believe they are not. Check out the "Related Links" to learn more.
Why are all Mormons liars and yet not all liars are Mormons?
This question is based on an incorrect supposition. Not all Mormons are liars; most Mormons are not liars.
