Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that Jesus Christ is their leader. The head of the worldwide Church is considered a prophet, equal with Biblical prophets such as Moses and Abraham. Prophets of the Mormon church since it's founding in 1830 are Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, Joseph F. Smith, Heber J. Grant, George Albert Smith, David O. MacKay, Joseph Fielding Smith, Harold B. Lee, Spencer W. Kimball, Ezra Taft Benson, Howard W. Hunter, Gordon B. Hinckley, and currently Thomas S. Monson.

Who were the leaders of the Mormon trail?

The Mormon Trail didn't have one specific leader or group of leaders. Rather, each individual group that traveled the trail appointed a leader who was knowledgable about the terrain and had the skills needed to lead them safely to the west. Most people who travelled the Mormon Trail were Mormons, and therefore had the same religious leaders, but the religious leaderswere not generally the trail leaders (although in some cases religious leaders returning from missions abroad would assist in leading groups on the trail).

What was the name of the movie-a mormon leader kill his brothers family?

He wasn't Mormon, let alone a "Mormon leader." He was a power-hungry creep who disliked Mormons, and made up his own church -- of which he made himself a leader. Calling Ervil LeBaron a "Mormon leader" is like calling Hitler a "Jewish leader" because he disliked Jews and became chancellor of Germany. Huh?

Do Mormon businesses support the Mormon community?

Businesses owned by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) financially support the owners and their families. Most Mormons choose to pay a tithe to the Church, which is 10% of their income. In that way, some profits of Mormon-owned businesses support the Church. Many Mormons own business that cater to the Mormon culture and community. These include things like modest clothing shops, food-storage and emergency prepardeness supplies, and religious books and music with Mormon themes. Check out the "related links" below for examples of Mormon-owned businesses that cater to the Mormon community. The Mormon Church itself doesn't really own any for-profit businesses, except for a few restaurants in Salt Lake City and a local newsmedia outlet. Most of their for-profit ventures are in real estate.
