Mormonism

In Utah, they were not counterculture, because everyone living in Utah when the Mormons first moved there accepted polygyny.

Flying planes of all sorts, and spending time with his two children and 6 grand children.

Brigham Young was not an explorer. He was a leader. He lead the Mormon people from Illinois to Utah. He sent many pioneers from Utah to establish colonies in Idaho, Arizona and Alberta. He also sent pioneers to establish colonies in California and Mexico.

No. Jonathan Crombie is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).

Alma 41:10 in the current LDS edition of the Book of Mormon says "Do not suppose, because it has been spoken concerning the restoration, that ye shall be restored from sin to happiness. Behold, I say unto you, wickedness never was happiness."

The current Community of Christ edition does not have an Alma Chapter 41. While the text remains largely the same, their chapters and verses are divided differently.

You can see the current LDS edition of Alma 41 and the current Community of Christ edition of the entire book of Alma at the "Related Links" below.

Blacks have always been accepted as baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). However, with very few exceptions, black men were not ordained to the priesthood between about 1844 and 1978. (Those who were ordained prior to 1844 and their descendants were able to be ordained.) The Mormon church has always been very accepting of blacks and all other races. In fact, one reason they were kicked out of Missouri in the 1840's was their acceptance of blacks and their opposition to slavery.

Well, on his MySpace, for religion he answered "Christian - Other" meaning other than Catholic. He is an evangelical non-denominational believer : )

The cost of a standard full-time mission in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is $400 per month. (as of April 2010) This equates to about $10,000 for a male missionary and $7,500 for a female missionary over the total course of the mission. This price includes food, lodging, and transportation while on the mission - it DOES NOT cover the cost of clothing and other supplies which should have been purchased before leaving.

Senior missionaries, humanitarian missionaries, and other non-standard missionaries may pay different amounts.

In times past, missionaries and their families saved for their missions, almost from the birth of the child. It used to be appropriate to give a piggy bank and money at a Mormon baby shower, to help the family begin saving for their mission. (Of course, missionary service is voluntary and not required or forced on anybody.) I can remember when different missions cost differing amounts of money, depending on the country where the mission was taking place. But missions cost a standard amount now, no matter where you are sent, and the Church pays the difference. This makes it a little easier for people to go on missions. Also, a family's payments for a mission are often shared between different friends and family members. All of this is completely voluntary, of course.

No, she hasn't really stated what faith she is. She has commented that she is Christian but hasn't really stated what religious affiliation she is. However, she mentioned that her father was Catholic and her mother wasn't. The likelihood of her being Mormon is probably very slim because of her parental background.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) actually has several tabernacles throughout the western United States. These are mostly historic pioneer buildings now used for community gatherings and educational tours.

I will assume you are referring to the Salt Lake City Taberncacle on Temple Square, where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings. This tabernacle organ was originally built in 1867 with 700 pipes. The organ has been renovated, restored, and rebuilt several times, and now includes 11,623 pipes. It is one of the largest pipe organs in the world.

To see a picture of the tabernacle organ, see the "Related Links" below.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) are very family oriented. The Church issued a formal statement in 1995 about marriage and family, outlining the basics of an ideal family. It declares that "marriage between an man and woman is ordained of God.... and essential to His eternal plan" and that "family relationships [can] be perpetuated beyond the grave."

"God's commandment to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force... Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children... Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness,

to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives-mothers and fathers- will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations."...

"By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed."

These roles are considered ideals, obviously no family is perfect and adaptations are always made to fit the circumstances. Each family member is expected to participate in the family and share the responsibilities at home. You can read the entire declaration about the family at the "Related Link" below.

Yes. The FLDS believe that a man may eventually be exalted to the status of Godhood.

No, he is not. His theology and LDS theology differ in many areas. According to

LDS, people pre-exist in the spiritual realm before being born into the physical realm. LDS also believe in the possibility of being re-incarnated. There is a passage in the Bible refering to John the Baptist as Elijah by Jesus, and they claim this indicates he was the re-incarnation of Elijah. Sun Myung Moon teaches that John the Baptist had the same mission as Elijah and that Elijah was cooperating with him from the spiritual side...John the Baptist was Elijah in the sense of inheriting his mission. There are other theological differences.

what land? when? where?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) owns a lot of land, but most of it is open to the public. Most of the church buildings and temples owned by the Church have beautifully landscaped grounds that are always open to the public. Food produced from church operated farms, orchards, and ranches is available to anyone in need, regardless of their religious affiliation.

Due to the severe dangers of continued persections and the murder of their Prophet Joseph Smith, the Mormons Abandoned Nauvoo Illinois, a city that they built. They moved westward being led by Brigham Young to what is now Salt Lake city, thus leaving the 1800's United States. Here in the desert montains they could live their religion without the hostility they faced while in the US.

The Mormons were forced to leave in the winter and crossed the frozen Mississippi river to escape hostile mobs. Some died due to the severe cold. Some were temporarily taken in by compassionate citizens. Later, handcarts were mass produced and the Mormons made the trek in several migrations. Due to the limitations of the handcarts, the trek was difficult and many died along the way, sometimes being buried in shallow graves due to the difficulties of digging in the frozen ground.

Some of the imigrants traveled further to California and settled in what is now San Francisco.

Neuromuscular blockers work by interfering with the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles. They achieve this by either blocking the action of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction (competitive antagonists) or by causing a persistent depolarization of the muscle membrane (depolarizing agents). This prevents muscle contraction, leading to temporary paralysis, which is useful during surgical procedures or in certain medical conditions. The effects of neuromuscular blockers are reversible, allowing for muscle function to return after the drug is cleared from the system.

The anointing that sets people apart as members of the Body of Christ refers to the Holy Spirit's empowerment and presence in the lives of believers. This spiritual anointing signifies their identity and role within the Christian community, enabling them to fulfill their God-given purposes and serve one another. It also fosters unity among members, as they are collectively guided by the Spirit to live out their faith and witness to the world.

No, terazosin is not a beta blocker. It is an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist used primarily to treat high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Unlike beta blockers, which primarily affect beta receptors in the heart and lungs, terazosin works by relaxing blood vessels and improving urinary flow by blocking alpha-1 receptors.

The Catholic Church recognizes several saints named Valentine and Valentinus, with the most notable being St. Valentine, a martyr who is commemorated on February 14. Additionally, there are at least three other Saints named Valentine or Valentinus, including a priest in Rome and a bishop in Terni, Italy. The exact number may vary in different traditions, but the most commonly referenced are these prominent figures associated with love and sacrifice.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are commonly known as Mormons. This nickname derives from the Book of Mormon, one of their sacred texts. The church was founded in the early 19th century by Joseph Smith and emphasizes restoration of original Christianity, with unique beliefs about revelation and the nature of God. In recent years, the church has encouraged the use of its full name to better represent its beliefs.

It depends on what you term as successful, but I would say the Mormons, since they went into a more hostile environment and made a huge city that is still major today.
