What is the name of the Mormon cathedral in the Great Salt Lake?
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.
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.
Why do Mormons leave their Christmas decorations up for so long?
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?
What is the phone number for the lds distribution center in burley id?
According to the website, there is no LDS Distribution Center in Burley, Idaho.
Distribution Centers are found in Boise, Idaho Falls, Rexburg, and Chubbuck.
The church does operate an online Distribution Center, which has a larger selection than the stores and offers free shipping to any address in the United States. Check out the "Related Links" to go to the online LDS Distribution Center.
Do Mormon women have to keep their arms covered?
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.

Is there a relationship between Nephi and the Nephilim?
Not directly, but it is possible that "Nephilim" was the origin of the name "Nephi."
The only Egyptus I know of is from LDS scripture. There were two matriarchs named Egyptus in the Book of Abraham--the first was the wife of Ham, Noah's son. The second Egyptus was a daughter of Ham and the elder Egyptus. She was the ancestress of the Egyptian nation, and the mother of Pharoah, the first king of Egypt.

Is Polygamy Legal If You Don't Actually Get Married?
Its not polygamy if you are not married you would just have a variety of dates or girl/boyfriends. Or if you have a wife and are going out with another women it is not polygamy it is called having an AFFAIR!!!
How many wives do morman have?
A Mormon can have one wife or husband at a time. If that marriage ends in divorce or the spouse dies, he or she can get remarried. No different than Non-Mormons.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) may have only one wife. Some Church members practiced polygamy from the early 1840's until 1890, but this practice was banned by Church leaders in 1890. Anyone found practicing polygamy after that time has been excommunicated from the Church.
AnswerOne.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abides by the law of the land. The Law states that a person may have only one spouse.
A practice existed, via Godly revelation, in the earlier part of the 19th Century that permitted men, under certain conditions, to marry more than one wife, but this practice was stopped according to later revelation when United States Law decreed that the practice be outlawed.
Those that attempt to practice it today are likely to be excommunicated.
AnswerThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as of the year 1890, has discontinued the practice of plural marriage, and any person professing to be a member who practices plural marriage is not considered by the church to be a member in good standing. So the answer to your question is no! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cannot have two wives.
There is a church that broke off from the LDS (Latter-day Saints) Church, which is not a part of the LDS church, called the Fundamentalist LDS church, or FLDS church, which does practice polygamy, and other variants. However they broke off because the Mainstream prohibits polygamy.
Therefore, there is a lot of slander and there are lies told about the real LDS church, however if you want to know what the real professed doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is, go to Mormon.org, or LDS.org.

What year did the book of Mormon add the words another testament of Jesus Christ?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints added the subtitle "Another Testament of Jesus Christ" to the Book of Mormon in 1982 in order to clarify and emphasize the purpose of the Book of Mormon. All copies of the Book of Mormon published by this church today carry this subtitle. Other denominations in the Mormonism movement that publish their own editions of the Book of Mormon, as well as private and commercial printings, generally do not include the subtitle.
The Mormon Cricket is a shieldbacked katydid found in the western United States. They got their name because a swarm of them threatened to destroy the first crops planted by Mormons in Utah.
