After Howard Hughes died, a man named Melvin Dummar claimed that he had rescued a man in the Nevada desert and that this man was Howard Hughes. Mr. Dummar was in possession of a three-page handwritten will that he claimed was from Howard Hughes, and the will left money to the Mormon church, among other organizations. However, the courts deemed the will a fraud and the money went to Howard Hughes' estranged family. Recently a retired FBI agent named Gary Magnesen has revisited the case in hopes of finding the truth - was the will a fraud or was it real?

What type of people migrated from the Mormon's?
The people who left the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) in the early days of the Church differed in many ways from the majority of those who leave the Church today. In the past, Church members often faced extreme hardship, and so leaving the Church was often due to not wanting to face the mobs, persecution, and poverty any longer. Others left the Church to become charismatic leaders of Anti-Mormon movements. Apostates even contributed to the murder of Joseph Smith, the first prophet of the Church. Most of those who leave the Church now leave simply because they no longer believe it is true or no longer want to live the lifestyle. Most of them don't have a problem with the Church or it's members and haven't faced any huge hardships for being a member of the Church. Some who leave, however, have an Anti-Mormon agenda just as apostates of the past did. Now, Anti-Mormon movements are largely based in online websites and protest demonstrations at Church events. Rarely when someone leaves the Church is migration involved, however, as Church members have and do live in regular homes, cities, and towns rather than in closed communities.
Can a Mormon woman leave her husband if they were married in the temple?
A:According to the Mormon Church, marriage is for eternity, but in all Western jurisdictions, such as the United States, the rights of wives and husbands are defined by law, not by the rules of any religion. If a Mormon woman believes she has good grounds to leave her husband, she is therefore free to do so. The Church may disapprove, and she may no longer be accepted in the faith, but she can make the choice with that possibility in mind.

Can you leave the Mormon faith?
Yes you can leave the Mormon Faith but I strongly hope you don't. Moroni 10:5 says: "And by the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may know the truth of all things." Because of the conferming feeling of the Holy Ghost I know this church is true. And that it is the only true church on the Earth. I encouarge you to read the Book of Mormon, or talk to your Bishop about your struggles you are having in your life that are making you doubt your testimony. Heavenly Father wants you to return to him. I know the trials you're facing will be lightened with his wonderful help. Please, don't give up. If you do decide to leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), you could simply stop going to worship services, however your name would stay on the records of the Church. If you want your name erased from the records you will have to speak with the local Bishop. He will discuss with you why you want to leave and send a letter to Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City requesting your name be removed from the records. This can be a time consuming process but it is done quite often.
Do people join the Mormons to be a part of their community but leave once they figure out it is not true?

If you join the Church and then decide you no longer want to be a member, you can simply stop attending services. You may also choose to have your name officially removed from church records, simply ask the bishop of your congregation to do so.

Do Mormons leave stickers for people when they are not home?
Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) may leave a small pamphlet or card with their contact information if they stop by your home when you are not there, especially if you had previously told them to visit you at that time. These items may be taped onto the door, but they are never stickers.
What are the name of those handouts Mormons greet you at the door with?
Religious pamphlets or booklets are usually called 'tracts' (regardless of the religion that distributes them). Generally, tracts are a few pages meant to introduce what the faith group distributing them is all about. Missionaries with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) distribute a few different tracts as well as books, DVD's, and magazines. Most often, they will just leave you with a small card with their phone number or website. They also leave pamphlets and booklets about basic beliefs of the Mormon faith. Occassionally they give out copies of the Book of Mormon or the Bible, DVDs about Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith, or copies of the Church's magazines. You can see the items the Mormon Missionaries distribute at the "Related Links" below.
How can a person escape from the Mormons?
um, just leave? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) doesn't trap anyone or hold anyone prisoner. If someone doesn't want to participate in worship services they can stop going to them. If they want their baptism annulled and their name taken off the church records than they can ask their bishop to do that. They aren't locked away anywhere, they live in their own homes in regular neighborhoods among people who are not Mormon. Nobody forces them to go to church.

Is it God's will to show Mormonism hypocrisy as they have gay men holding the priesthood and loved by their God as long as they never reveal their secret?
AnswerIt is always dangerous to speak on behalf of God's will.Mormon AnswerNowhere in the Mormon Church does it say that Mormon high priests cannot reveal that they are gay. Gay people are welcomed in the Church, so long as they live by the standards that every Church member is expected to follow (including no sexual relations outside of marriage or with someone of the same gender). Both the Church and it's members have no problem with gay priests who are living the standards of the church, and they may 'come out' with their homosexuality or leave it a secret - that is their choice.It is not hypocrisy in any way - gay Mormon men are expected to follow the same standards as straight Mormon men, and any man who follows these standards has the same rights and privileges, except that gay Mormon men are required to be lonely.
