Mormonism

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Yes. Erin Chambers is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church).

Yes. The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints broke away from the regular Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) 100 years ago because of their ban on polygamy. The FLDS is well-known for their strict, isolated lifestyle and practice of polygamy (having multiple wives).

Regular Mormons may only be married to one person at a time, but may be married more than once due to divorce or death of their spouse.

No, Aaron Montgomery Ward was not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).

I'm assuming you're asking about Olathe, Kansas. The LDS Olathe Stake Center is located at 15915 W. 143rd Street Olathe, KS 66062. It is across the street from Prince of Peace Catholic Church and near Frontier Trail Jr. High School.

The Olathe 1st, 2nd, and 3rd wards meet there.

No, no one owns the BSA as a national organization.

The individual units; troops, packs, crews, and ships (depending on the specific scouting organization) are franchises that are owned by sponsoring organizations. These organizations can be any group concerned with youth development including schools, The Knights of Columbus, Rotary clubs, religious groups and others. About 2/3 are owned by religious groups.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are very active in the boyscout organization because they feel it is a great program for boys and a useful youth program for their organization.

No. He is not.. He believes Salvation through the sacrifice Jesus has made.

After the Church was founded in New York, most Church members moved to Ohio. Due to persecution, they moved from Ohio to Missouri to Illinois. Once they were asked to leave Illinois, they moved to Utah. The trail they took to Utah is now called the "Mormon Trail." Once the railroad was completed, converts from Europe and the Eastern U.S. could take a train from New York to Utah.

Historically, Mormons have been very independent. When they were kicked out of several states in the US, they moved to what was then the Mexican desert (what is now Utah) and established their own cities and towns from scratch. They have always been encouraged to be self-sufficient and to avoid bondage through things such as debt, pornography, or habit-forming drugs.

Writing a migration letter is easy. It is a letter that includes contact details and school names.

Church doctrine is a very broad question. In its briefest form, church doctrine could be summarized like this:

Christ sacrificed Himself so that by faith and obedience to the commandments, you and your loved ones can live again in the presence of God after death.

There is a mountain of church doctrine, but it all points back to that central fact.

Yes Jon Heder is a Mormon.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have no religious doctrines or beliefs specifically about African Americans. Many Mormons believe that blacks of African descent are descendants of Noah's son Ham, which is a common belief among many Biblical scholars. For a period of time between about 1845 and 1978, the Mormon Church prevented blacks of African descent (including those living in Africa or other nations) from holding leadership positions in the Church. There were a few exceptions to this rule. This was a very unpopular policy among church members, and blacks have been welcome in leadership roles since 1978. However, the Mormonism remains unpopular among many blacks, especially African Americans, who tend to stay in traditionally 'black' churches, such as African Methodist Episcopalian, National Baptist, and Church of God in Christ.

Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) use the King James Version of the Bible, which explains that Jesus is a descendant of David and was born to faithful Jewish parents. As a child he attended all the Jewish festivals and worshipped at the synogogue. His life and teachings in the New Testament show that he had deep understanding of Jewish tradition and doctrine, and that He tried to show symbolically in all aspects of His life that He was the prophesied Messiah.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in many scriptural accounts of visions of heaven.

Biblical visions of heaven, such as those recorded in Isaiah and Revelation, as well as visions of heaven recorded in the Book of Mormon (such as Lehi's vision in 1 Nephi 1) are joined with the more detailed descriptions of heaven in the Doctrine and Covenants. Some of the most often used passages about heaven in the Doctrine and Covenants are found in Sections 76, 129-132, 137, and 138.

The Great Salt Lake is a lake - there are no buildings in it, because it's a lake, and people typically don't build buildings underwater. Also, Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) do not build Cathedrals. They have two types of worship buildings - temples and meetinghouses.

Maybe you are asking about the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is named after the Great Salt Lake but is located about 20 miles southeast of the lake. That temple is simply called the Salt Lake Temple. Most Mormon temples are named for the city they are in.

There are also several cathedrals in Salt Lake City representing many different religions.

James E. Talmage was born in England in 1862. Talmage was a prominent member of the LDS Church and served as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1911-1933. Talmage was admired by many in the church. He was a brilliant scholar in many fields including geography and the sciences. He taught science at BYU and later was president of the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah.) He also was a popular author among members of the Church. He was the author of several religious books such as Jesus the Christ, The House of the Lord, The Great Apostasy and The Articles of Faith. These books are an effort to clarify LDS doctrine and are still widely read by Latter-day Saints. For more on James E. Talmage, the article on Wikipedia seems fairly accurate.

97 He died of old age

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that parents are responsible for ensuring their children receive a proper education. The majority of Mormon children attend regular public schools. A growing number of Mormon children attend private schools or are homeschooled, but are still a minority. What type of schooling the children receive is a decision made between them and their parents. Often, those who attend public and private schools also have supplemental teaching at home or through church programs for religious education.

This all depends on the individual family, as there is no Mormon religious custom about holiday decorations. Some families like to leave their Christmas decorations up longer than others.

I grew up a Mormon, and we always took our Christmas decorations down the day after Christmas. Now that I am grown, I usually take my Christmas decorations down on New Years Day. Most facilities owned by the Mormon Church that decorate for Christmas take their decorations down shortly after New Years Day, which is customary for most people in the United States. Maybe the Mormons you know are either too lazy to take down their Christmas decorations, or they love Christmas so much that they don't want to take them down?

DEFINITELY NOT!!!

No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can wear whatever they want. They are encouraged to dress modestly, as they believe it is pleasing to God. The Church suggests that modesty includes wearing shirts that cover the shoulders, but this is only a suggestion.

Adult Mormons who have participated in a Temple ceremony are obligated to wear shirts with at least short sleeve shirts and pants/skirts at least to the knee as a reminder of the covenants they made with God in the ceremony.

The only time that Mormons are required to wear long sleeves is inside the temple (please note that a temple is different than a meetinghouse, where weekly worship services are held). Inside the temple, adult Mormons (men and women) are required to wear long sleeves and all white.

According to the website, there is no LDS Distribution Center in Burley, Idaho.
