Mormonism

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") attend worship services, Sunday School, and other meetings on Sunday. These services are held in local church meetinghouses, and all people are invited to attend, regardless of religious background. Often during the week additional activites, such as youth groups and congregation dinners, are held.

Adult and teen members may also choose to participate in additional worship on weekdays. These worship services are held in the Temples (different than meetinghouses), which are only open to Church members given a reccomendation from their Bishop.

**While this is true in most countries, in countries where there is another accepted day of the week to worship (such as Israel, on Saturday), Mormons worship on the traditional Sabbath day of the country where they reside.

The 138 sections of the 1989 edition of the Doctrine and Covenants published by The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints contain 3654 verses. There is also 3.5 pages of text not found in verse format

Oh, dude, that's a random one! So, Megan Follows is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She's actually a Canadian actress known for her role as Anne Shirley in "Anne of Green Gables." So, like, she's got nothing to do with the Latter-day Saints church, but she's definitely got some serious acting chops!

The Choir provides the wardrobe for Choir members, although the men provide their own white shirts. Both men and women's performance clothing stays in the dressing rooms at the Salt Lake Tabernacle when not in use. Performance clothing remains the property of the Choir, and dresses are often remade and reused by new Choir members when someone leaves or retires.

That's a matter of personal opinion. Most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) would not sleep naked on a regular basis, due to the fact that they believe they should be dressed modestly and not leave parts of their body showing unncessarily. Also, what would you do if there was an emergency and you had to run out of your house? But there is nothing in Church doctrine that says anything specifically about sleeping naked... you can study what has been said about modesty and other related doctrines and make the decision yourself.

Communist governments are usually against any missionary entering the country. Also some middle eastern countries who's teaching is Islam. It is my understanding that Mormon Missionaries will soon be allowed into China.

Ryan Gosling was born to Mormon parents. His parents divorced when he was young and it is unknown if he was ever baptized into the faith. (Mormons are baptized at age 8 or older) If he was baptized, he has not been a practicing Mormon for quite some time.

They don't. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) do not generally cover their heads for religious purposes. In places it is customary to wear a headscarf, such as Africa, the women might also do so, but this is a cultural custom, not about religion. Perhaps you are thinking of Muslims?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) does not own any gas stations or convenience stores. The only for-profit businesses the Church is involved with are:

Deseret Book (a religious book and gift store)

Bonneville International (a newsmedia source)

Deseret Management (landlords of apartments and office space in Salt Lake City)

Temple Square Hospitality (cafes and reception centers in Salt Lake City)

Nope, Brian Stokes Mitchell is not a Mormon. He is actually a proud member of the Church of the Divine Broadway Belter, where he worships the power of song and dance. So, if you're looking for some heavenly vocals, you won't find them in the Book of Mormon with Brian Stokes Mitchell.

Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) generally sleep in the same bed after marriage, just like any other married couple. If they don't sleep in the same bed, that is a personal choice with no religious basis.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is fluent in German and English. As a child in East Germany, he was exposed to the Russian language at school (See April 2010 General Conference and October 2006 General Conference) but does not appear to be fluent. Having lived in Europe and been a commercial airline pilot he is probably also quite familiar with other European languages - perhaps including French (spoken in Switzerland where he attended university), Dutch (similar to German), and Czech (spoken where he was born).

Well honey, Deseret Industries ain't gonna be open during General Conference. They know better than to compete with the prophet for attention. So you better stock up on those secondhand treasures before the weekend hits.

No. No General Authority has ever mentioned global warming in a talk.

The only Church-produced material mentioning global warming was published over 20 years ago in the July 1991 Ensign. It is in an article about caring for the earth, written by G. Michael Alder. At the time, he was the head of the Office of Technology Development for the state of Utah, and currently he is the director of Technology Transfer for BYU.

They don't, but we're starting to get annoyed. Why do people keep asking us Mormons about magnets? They're great, they stick to metal, they hang things on the fridge... whats the big deal? I don't know... someone started asking Mormons about magnets and we don't know why.

Sure. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are human just like anyone else, and it isn't extremely harmful to rub a magnet over human skin. If you have iron rich blood or a pacemaker and are exposed to extremely strong magnets for long periods of time, it can cause problems, but just rubbing a normal refrigerator magnet on your skin wont do anything.

Uhhh... sure? There are nearly 14 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) around the world. Most of them use magnets. Some of them probably collect magnets. The Church and it's members have no beliefs or doctrines about magnets.

It began from a South Park episode, and some have attributed it to an Insane Clown Posse song...but the reason is that Magnetism, along with many other scientific laws is not explained by religion. Most Mormons would reply that there is magnetism because "god" had made it so, not the scientific answer - either a moving electric field or spin of quantum particles. This latter process causes materials to become inherantly magnetic (like a bar magnet) when a large majority of particles (particularly electrons) have the same spin, which results in a north-south pole configuration.

The Mormon Trail and Oregon Trail share the Platte River in Nebraska. Both trails followed the Platte River valley for a portion of their journeys westward.

Yes! Since many temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are located on high ground and have a giant metal statue on the top, they are quite often struck by lightning. Usually the lightning strikes do little or no damage, but occassionally damage the Angel Moroni statue on top. The church has had to replace at least 3 statues due to lightning damage.

The fastest route from Mund's Park, AZ to Mormon Lake, AZ is to drive up to Flagstaff and then back down to Mormon Lake.

Zion National Park was a refuge for the Mormon Pioneers because it provided natural resources, shelter, and protection for the Pioneers. {From Daily Geography Week 24} *Sixth Grade* :D :) =}

The Mormon Trail is the trail that the Mormon Pioneers took from Illinois to Utah between 1845 and 1870. It was different from other trails because it was used by people seeking religious freedom rather than riches or wild living, as most other western trails were used for.
