Mormonism

The same way people who wear underwear all the time do, they take them off. Yes, Mormons do it too.

Although some have been known to attempt to do so while wearing garments, I believe it is not the mainstream practice.

There are times when the more 'proper' thing to do is to remove the garment temporarily, such as in showering, swimming and competing athletically in public, etc.

No

Because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") is founded on modern revelation given through a modern prophet.

Previous Church President Ezra Taft Benson once said, "the living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works" (meaning the 4 books Mormons use as scripture). He also said "The most important prophet, so far as we are concerned, is the one who is living in our day and age... Therefore, the most crucial reading and pondering which you should do is of the latest inspired words from the Lord's mouthpiece."

The revelation given to Joseph Smith now contained in Doctrine and Covenants 132:58-66, then, in a way, overrides the words given to Jacob in the Book of Mormon, and the revelation given to Wilford Woodruff (now Official Declaration 1) overrides the words given to Joseph Smith.

Sure, if they want. Women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can wear whatever they want, but are encouraged to dress modestly as a sign of reverence to their bodies. Modesty guidelines in the church include avoiding sleeveless tops, avoiding showing the cleavage or midriff, and always wearing pants or skirts that reach to the knee or lower. There are no guidelines or suggestions about headbands, hats, etc. Headbands with bows and flowers on them are quite popular right now and Mormon women and teens have adopted the trend.

The only exception might be female Mormon missionaries, who have much more strict dress guidelines. They can typically wear a small headband but nothing with a large bow or flower on it.

Though the term disciple does mean someone who believes and helps to spread the doctrine of another, it is used mainly to describe any follower of Christ. Those who received the Gift of Tongues applies mainly to the Twelve Apostles. It is they who were commanded to do go and preach Christs words, in doing so were given the Gift of Tongues.

One must also remember that some of those who listened to the Apostles preach were given the gift to hear in their own language what the Apostles preached, though they did so in their own tongue.

Yes, but we know very little about them. We know that the highest includes those who are exalted to Godhood and are required to have been married or sealed in the temple, and those in the other levels will serve as ministering angels and teach those in the Terrestrial Kingdom.

NO

It takes about two and a half hours to drive from Beaver to Salt Lake City. If you hit Provo or Salt Lake during rush hour, count on an extra half hour.

No. the Church of Jesus christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is not associated with any healthcare organizations. The hospitals which were founded and operated by the Church for many years (LDS Hospital and Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah) were sold to Intermountain Healthcare in the 1970's.

Sutter Health is not owned or operated by any religious organization.

Not familiar with any individual, Mormon or otherwise, with that name. It's a fairly common one, though.

No. Anyone familiar with Masonry who reads the Book of Mormon would find no correlation. The Book of Mormon is similar to the Bible and is considered by Mormons as another testament of Jesus Christ, to be used side-by-side with the Bible.

Temple Square has been built and remodeled over time, but it was built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Brigham Young selected the site a few days after the Mormon Pioneers arrived in the area, in July 1847. Since then buildings have been built and torn down, all centered around the temple.

The Temple, which is the center of the square, took over 40 years to build (completed in 1893). It's construction was begun by Brigham Young, but it was not completed until Wilford Woodruff was President of the Church.

The Tabernacle, where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings, was constructed in the 1860's, its construction was overseen by Brigham Young. It replaced a temporary Bowery, which was used to hold large meetings.

The Endowment House was built under the direction of Brigham Young used as a "temporary temple" from 1855 until Wilford Woodruff ordered it's destruction in 1889.

The Assembly hall replaced what was called the "Old Tabernacle" and was built in 1882 under the direction of John Taylor.

The Beaurau of Information Building and the observatory were replaced by two Visitors Centers in the mid 19th century, The Hotel Utah was remodeled to become the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in the 1990's, which holds offices, ballrooms, restauraunts, and a theatre. Additional buildings, such as the family history library, the church history and art museum, the conference center (dedicated in 2000), the relief society building and the church office building, were added later by subsequent church presidents. The most recent addition is the church history and archives building, dedicated in June 2009 by current Church President, Thomas S. Monson.

Mermaids are not real, so nobody can become one regardless of their religion.

No. The angels which appear or speak in the Book of Mormon are not fallen angels. Mormons believe that angels are messengers from God, and that they are the spirits (or resurrected personages) of those who have lived or who will live upon this earth.

Angels appear or speak in these verses of the Book of Mormon:

1 Nephi 1:8; 3:29; 11:14-14:30;

2 Nephi 10:3;

Jacob 7:5

Mosiah 3:2-4:1; 27:11-18

Alma 8:14-18; 10:7; 19:34; 40:11

Helaman 13:7; 16:14

3 Nephi 7:15; 7:18; 7:24

Each time it is in bearing witness of or delivering messages from God. Therefore, they are not fallen angels, but angels of God.

The Book of Mormon does mention the angels of the devil, who may be considered fallen angels, in 2 Nephi 2:17, 9:8-9, 9:16; Jacob 3:11, Mosiah 26:27; and Helaman 13:37, but these angels do not personally appear or speak at any time in the Book of Mormon.

While I do not know the full details about the process I do know that for him to be sealed to his current spouse, even if you have already had a temple divorce, you will need to give your approval for him to be sealed to someone else.

My parents were divorced and had their sealing annulled and then when my Dad went to get sealed to his current wife she got a letter from the first presidency asking her if she would give her approval for him to be sealed.

Second answer: The dissolution of a temple sealing is handled apart from any legal procedings. Thus a couple may be legally divorced, but still considered "sealed" together by the Church until the sealing is dissolved by the First Presidency. To that end, both former spouses are asked to provide a letter to the First Presidency outlining the circumstances that led to the divorce and the reasons why both spouses agree to the dissolution. The respective bishops of each former spouse also write a letter to accompany these letters, all of which are reviewed by the First Presidency. A final determination is made, and a letter sent to the parties involved indicating whether the church considers their sealing to be void. This must be done before either former spouse can consider being sealed to their new husband or wife. The letter from the First Presidency is taken to the temple at the time of the new sealing.

Mr Flowers is indeed a practising Mormon the net is peppered with interviews and articles about his faith and his beliefs. It seems that Mr Flowers senior was actually a Roman Catholic until Brandon was five I don't know if Brandonwas born into LDS - no idea if he was christened R.C. before that. Course he might have been perhaps his mom was LDS.

Brandon Flowers recently posted a video profile to Mormon.org, check it out at the "Related Link" below.

I could find no record of any commercially published book called "The Secrets of Mormons". Perhaps you have the title wrong? There are many anti-Mormon books with similar titles, but obviously an anti-Mormon book would not say that Mormons go to heaven.

I believe it was called "The Brooklyn". It sailed from New York (City, I think) around south America (The Cape) and back up the other side to land in California.

I am a direct descendent of John Neff, from Pennsylvania who joined the church after a personal acquaintence with Joseph Smith in Nauvoo and subsequently went on to Utah.

Neff is said to have paid the "mooring fees" on "The Brooklyn" ship in order for it to be released from New York and allow it set sail. This can be found in Susan Easton Black's Biography of Pioneer Saints under "Neff, John".

Neff was a wealthy farmer and gave much to the cause of the church during his day including purchasing two mill stones used to grind flour at Winter Quarters, Omaha, NE and SLC (in "Mill Creek Canyon"), Salt Lake City, UT, USA.

Mormon settlers were among the first present when Gold was discovered in California by the first Gold Prospectors (that started the Gold rush). These settlers were on that ship and subsequently left gold prospecting to go back to Utah.

No. Wilford Woodruff married a total of five women:

Phoebe Whittemore Carter (1807-1885) m. 1837

Mary Ann Jackson m. 1846, divorced abt. 10 years later

Emma Smoot Smith (1838-1911) m. 1853

Sarah Brown (1834-1909) m. 1853

Sarah Delight Stocking (1838-1907) m. 1857

None of them ever left Mormonism, and each died a faithful and actively practicing member of the church.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") can be found in every state of the United States and in nearly every country of the world. There are over 13.5 million members worldwide.

They live in regular homes, apartments, and neighborhoods that are typical of their culture or community.
