Why are Mormons being required to pass a polygraph to determine if they truly believe to get into the temple and into Heaven with God and don't they trust us?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not have to take a polygraph test in order to prove their faith or to get into the temple or into heaven. Mormons believe in the phrase "By their fruits ye shall know them" (Matthew 7:20), and believe that one's faith is made evident by their willingness to follow God's commandments, not by the taking of any sort of test.
In order to enter the temple, one must have a simple interview with the Bishop in which they declare their personal belief in Jesus Christand obedience to God's commandments. There is no polygraph - the Bishop just takes their word for it.
Mormons believe that God knows and sees all - no polygraph and no interview is needed to enter heaven. God knows the thoughts and intentions of your heart.

Do Mormons believe they will be gods and Does Brooke White believe she will be one of the God-wives?
I don't know who Brooke White is but Mormons believe they can become gods, IF they do certain ceremonies in the temple and keep the vows they make there. Not all Mormons believe they will become gods, because not all Mormons go to the temple and do the ceremonies they believe are required. They do not believe they will become gods but they do believe they will be able to become more like Jesus and god.

What are the bad things that they say about Mormons?
Many things that people say against Mormons simply come from someone who is uninformed or has a different opinion. This does not mean that it is bad, but it is often offensive. Those who are uninformed or misinformed often say: -Mormons are polygamist (this practice was banned by the church over 120 years ago in 1890) -Mormons dont believe in the Bible (Mormons consider the King James Version of the Bible as sacred scripture and are encouraged to study it daily) -Mormons don't believe in Jesus (Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, just like all Christians) -Mormons are cultish (Mormons live and dress and act just like most anyone else in society. They do not live on compunds, etc.) -Mormons worship Joseph Smith (Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses or Abraham, not a god to be worshipped) -Mormons kidnap, brainwash, coerce, etc (Mormons wish everyone to make their own decisions, and define their standards by Scripture) Those who have different opinions and say things that are offensive to Mormons often say: -Mormons are not Christian (Mormons are not traditional Protestant Christians, but they do still believe in the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ.) -Mormons are lying (Mormons honestly believe they are telling the truth) -Mormonism is a pyramid scheme (Mormons believe in paying a Tithe and in missions work to gain converts, but believe this is Biblically based and do not seek converts for monetary gain) -Mormons are unbiblical (Mormons believe that they are following the Bible very strictly, but the Bible can be interpreted differently by different people) -Mormonism is false (this is obviously just an opinion, but one that is often offensive to those who honestly believe)

Mormons do not believe that quantity of kids has anything to do with salvation. Mormons have more than the average amount of kids because they believe in family. Mormons believe salvation consists of receving all that God has. The idea of Mormons receiving their own planet is a bit of saracsm that is pushed by those who do not like the church.

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.

Ha ha. I don't think that this is really within anyone's "rights." But I also don't think it would prove anything at all. Polygraphs only point out problems with people who don't sincerely believe what they are saying. ... And we Mormons sincerely believe what we are saying.
