Mormonism

As of January 1, 2011, there were 14,131,467 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide. This is approximately 0.21% of the world's population. To compare, about 1% of the world population is Catholic, 21% is Muslim, and just like Mormons, 0.21% are Jewish.

As of January 1, 2010, there are 13.8 million baptized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) around the world.

Official records from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) report 57,918 baptized members of the Church living in Ohio as of January 1, 2010.

As of the start of 2009, there were 173,639 members of the LDS (Mormon) Church living in Nevada.

In 2009, 31,268 of the 710,231 people in Alaska were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). That is 4.4% of the population.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not keep track of where it's members are enrolled in school. As a public college, Mesa State is not allowed to ask it's students their religious preferences. Therefore it is impossible to know how many students there are Mormon.

You can find the Mormon population by state or country by going to http://www.newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/statistical-information.

There are no official statistics kept on how many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) vote. Church members are encouraged to participate in their local governments by participating in elections, and we can safely assume that in the United States, voting among Mormons remains at or slightly above the national average. Mormons are probably more likely to vote if a candidate or policy of interest to them is on the ballot.

About 60% of Mormons live outside the United States, some in democratic nations and some in non-democratic nations. Obviously these 60% do not vote in U.S. elections, but if there are elections in their nations they are encouraged to participate.

According to and as of 2007, there were approximately 750,000 Mormons (also known as Latter-Day Saints) living in California.

According to a 2006 California Census, there were 36,457,549 people living in California total (Mormon and non-Mormon). Some reports and estimates say that there are currently just over 38,000,000 people living in California.

According to these numbers Mormons make up approximately 1.97% of California (give or take .05%)

According to the California Department of Finance the 2008 population of CA is 38 million, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints make up 2% of the population so around 760,000.

I guess this depends on when in the late 1800's you are talking about. Many of the western states where Mormons settled were not actually states until the 1890's, they were territories.

Either way, the answer would be Utah by far. Mormons settled almost the entire state of Utah. Southern Idaho and Northern Arizona had very high concentrations of Church members, but the rest of those states did not. There were also Mormon colonies and congregations in Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Canada, Mexico, the mid-west United States, Hawaii, New York, and Europe.

According to official 2008 year end statistics from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons"), there are 48,477 baptized Church members in Pennsylvania worshipping in 112 congregations.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") live in every state of the United States. The states with the highest percentage of church members are mostly in the western United States and include Utah, Idaho, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

According to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") official 2008 records, there are 40,529 baptized members of the Church in Indiana worshiping in 96 congregations.

The Lutheran (all Lutheran denominations and sects) population of the United States is approximately 13,530,000.

The Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) population of the United States is approximately 5,975,000.

The population of the United States is 304,060,000. So the United States is 4.45% Lutheran and 1.97% Mormon.

In the world there are nearly 66 million Lutherans (all sects and denomenations) and 13.8 Million Mormons.

In January 2010, there were 6,058,907 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in the United States. The population of the United States was about 307,000,000. This means that about 2% of Americans are Mormon. (the exact percentage is 1.97%)

Mormons believe, as stated by the 13th article of faith, "in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

The Boy Scouts of America is an organization that instills chastity, honesty, benevolence, and virtue in young boys, who grow to be leaders in their community. It is due to the similarities in beliefs and the social oppurtunity to be with like minded individuals, that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints associate with the Boy Scouts. In 2000 there were approximately 400,000 young boys in the LDS scouting program, which accounted for about 12 % of the boys active in scouting. Only the Methodists had more boys enrolled.

According to Harvard's Latter Day Saint Student Association (LDSSA), there are between 30 and 45 LDS undergrads at the university any given year.

Every state! There are over six million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) living in the United States, and at least several thousand Mormons in each state. The western US has a higher concentration of Mormons than the east, and Utah has the highest concentration with about 60% of the state being practicing Mormons.

The literacy rate is calculated for people age 15 and up. The percent of the population in the United States, age 15 and up, that can read and write is 99 percent. There are several countries with a literacy rate of 100 percent including Finland, North Korea, Luxembourg, Andorra, and Norway.

According to the Mormon faith a couple with their children and deceased ancestors can be sealed for time and all eternity in the kingdom of their God providing they remain worthy and keep all of the covenants that they have made. This is why they are seeking out their kindred dead as far back as they can, so that there is an unbroken line back to Adam.

The millennium will be a time to finalise this work when all of the spirit children of Heavenly father will have taken upon themselves bodies hereupon the earth. It will be a time when all of the records of every person that has ever lived will be found and the final great sealing of humanity will take place.

in a short way to say it you get to stay with your family forever, here on Earth and in the after life

The term "sealing" also has a more general meaning, but even that is most often related to an ordinance carried out by the Priesthood.

The sealing within an ordinance occurs when the ordinance requires that a second witness takes part in the act of the ordinance itself. For instance, when the sick are administered to, the first part of the ordinance takes the form of an anointing upon the sick person, then the 2nd Priesthood member, lays his hands upon the sick person's head, and "seals" the work done by the first. In point of fact, this is really what is done in a temple sealing anyway; because the couple to be sealed for eternity have already been previously married ... so the temple 'sealing' acts as the verification and second witness before God that the couple really did intend to be married, and have come before the Lord to seal the previous man-made ceremony and intent before God. It acts as a marriage ceremony repeated, but it now carries authroity that they may be married forever, beyond this life.

We also use the term, "sealed", in relation to a "man's or prophet's 'sealing' of his own testimony with his blood" - in that he seals as a 2nd witness of his life's living standards - those things that he believed in, with his blood - so that he may not only have lived for what he believed in, but has died for what he believed in as well. We call that 'sealing his testimony with his own blood'.

A sealing acts as a Confirmation of the first act.

There are over 14 million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide, each having their own political and economic ideas. Since Mormons believe in 'free agency', or the right of each person to make their own choices, many tend to shun socialistic ideas and favor capitalistic ones. However, there are many Mormons who support socialistic or 'big government' ideas.

The Nicene Creed was written between 325 and 381 A.D. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons) is a restoration of the first century Christian Church, before the creed was written. They believe that after the first century, with the death of the apostles, the church went into apostasy and it's leaders no longer had the authority to lead the church given to them by God, so the Creeds (Nicene and otherwise) are not the Word of God but the precepts of men, and therefore not correct doctrine. Former Church President, Gordon B. Hinckley, said the following at a church conference in October, 2007: "Following the Savior's death, the Church He had established drifted into apostasy. Fulfilled were the words of Isaiah, who said, "The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant" (Isaiah 24:5). "Realizing the importance of knowing the true nature of God, men had struggled to find a way to define Him. Learned clerics argued with one another. When Constantine became a Christian in the fourth century, he called together a great convocation of learned men with the hope that they could reach a conclusion of understanding concerning the true nature of Deity. All they reached was a compromise of various points of view. The result was the Nicene Creed of a.d. 325. This and subsequent creeds have become the declaration of doctrine concerning the nature of Deity for most of Christianity ever since. "I have read them all a number of times. I cannot understand them. I think others cannot understand them. I am sure that the Lord also knew that many would not understand them. And so in 1820, in that incomparable vision, the Father and the Son appeared to the boy Joseph. They spoke to him with words that were audible, and he spoke to Them. They could see. They could speak. They could hear. They were personal. They were of substance. They were not imaginary beings. They were beings tabernacled in flesh. And out of that experience has come our unique and true understanding of the nature of Deity." Also, a member of the Church's Quorum of Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffery R. Holland said at the same conference, "In the year a.d. 325 the Roman emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea to address-among other things-the growing issue of God's alleged "trinity in unity." What emerged from the heated contentions of churchmen, philosophers, and ecclesiastical dignitaries came to be known (after another 125 years and three more major councils)as the Nicene Creed, with later reformulations such as the Athanasian Creed. These various evolutions and iterations of creeds-and others to come over the centuries-declared the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to be abstract, absolute, transcendent, immanent, consubstantial, coeternal, and unknowable, without body, parts, or passions and dwelling outside space and time. In such creeds all three members are separate persons, but they are a single being, the oft-noted "mystery of the trinity." They are three distinct persons, yet not three Gods but one. All three persons are incomprehensible, yet it is one God who is incomprehensible. "We agree with our critics on at least that point-that such a formulation for divinity is truly incomprehensible. With such a confusing definition of God being imposed upon the church, little wonder that a fourth-century monk cried out, "Woe is me! They have taken my God away from me, … and I know not whom to adore or to address." How are we to trust, love, worship, to say nothing of strive to be like, One who is incomprehensible and unknowable? What of Jesus's prayer to His Father in Heaven that "this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent"? "It is not our purpose to demean any person's belief nor the doctrine of any religion. We extend to all the same respect for their doctrine that we are asking for ours. (That, too, is an article of our faith.) But if one says we are not Christians because we do not hold a fourth- or fifth-century view of the Godhead, then what of those first Christian Saints, many of whom were eyewitnesses of the living Christ, who did not hold such a view either? We declare it is self-evident from the scriptures that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are separate persons, three divine beings, noting such unequivocal illustrations as the Savior's great Intercessory Prayer just mentioned, His baptism at the hands of John, the experience on the Mount of Transfiguration, and the martyrdom of Stephen-to name just four"

Dan owned a house next to mine in Langley, B.C. I never got to meet him but I saw him a few times on his property. We were separated by the Salmon River, which isn't very wide, but enough to give privacy. This was many years ago now & I can't even remember the street I lived on! His house was on the corner of Glover Rd, & the street I can't recall. We lived very close to Ft. Langley.
