"mormons"

why would someone write the book of mormon when God inspired men to write the Bible?? I think it's a CULT!!!!! (So does the government!)

Mormons

We call them the Taliban of western religion in Gilbert AZ

Joining the Mormon Church could enhance you children's spirituality

The 2005 National Study of Youth and Religion published by UNC-Chapel Hill found that Church of Jesus Christ (LDS) youth (ages 13 to 17) were more likely to exhibit these Christian characteristics than Evangelicals (the next most observant group):

1. Attend Religious Services weekly

2. Importance of Religious Faith in shaping daily life – extremely important

3. Believes in life after death

4. Does NOT believe in psychics or fortune-tellers

5. Has taught religious education classes

6. Has fasted or denied something as spiritual discipline

7. Sabbath Observance

8. Shared religious faith with someone not of their faith

9. Family talks about God, scriptures, prayer daily

10. Supportiveness of church for parent in trying to raise teen (very supportive)

11. Church congregation has done an excellent job in helping teens better understand their own sexuality and sexual morality

LDS Evangelical

1. 71% 55%

2. 52 28

3. 76 62

4. 100 95

5. 42 28

6. 68 22

7. 67 40

8. 72 56

9. 50 19

10. 65 26

11. 84 35

Dual roles of limit-setter and teacher

It's hard for parents to live in the "do as I say" authority role that the kids need while also telling the same kids the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about EVERYTHING and all the time. But I tend to think that doing more of the latter makes the kids far more receptive to the former.
