ShareBig Love is a show on HBO done in very poor taste, weaving Mormon themes throughout the show.  According to TV Guide, they are going to expose what they believe to be the sacred temple ceremonies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Judging from what they have done in the past, this is likely to be an inaccurate, apalling, crude portrayal of something that members of The...

Share“If you could break one Mormon rule, what would it be?”  Last night, I heard my son speaking on the phone and he repeated the question as if to say he was shocked that it was ever asked.  He thought about it a while and then answered, “I guess Caffeine, cause some of those drinks look really good.”  I really didn’t mean to hear him, but it struck me strange...

ShareLDS Churches have very conservative music rules. As far as which instruments are allowed in the chapel during Sacrament Meeting and what styles of music are allowed, I think there are few churches with more conservative views than the LDS churches. Although each ward is run by the local bishop, the First Presidency has set guidelines for all LDS churches across the world.  For instance,...

ShareWomen’s Conference at BYU, or commonly called Women’s Week, has quickly become a tradition among my sisters, my mother, and I. The past few years, I was unable to attend, and I am so excited that I was able to register for this year’s women’s conference.  There are so many things I love about this conference, and I’ll show you all the reasons I’m so thrilled...

ShareLDS pictures are available to download or print from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints official website.  The LDS website is a great resource for family home evenings, visiting teaching lessons, scripture study, videos, talks, and so much more.  I use it quite often when I need to find a certain talk or look up LDS pictures to help teach a lesson. It’s quite an amazing...

ShareThe Church: Mormon Beliefs About Families What do Mormons believe about families that is so different than the rest of the world? Why did The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints become so involved in the California fight to protect families? How can people who are not LDS come to understand what we believe?  I will attempt in my own humble way to explain my beliefs and hopefully...

ShareWatch Video The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, sometimes called the Mormon church, is a Christian church that stands apart from other churches. To understand The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, you need to understand its origins.  Joseph Smith, a fourteen year old boy, went into the woods and prayed for an answer and saw God the Father and Jesus Christ in person. ...

ShareThe signs of the second coming are being fulfilled all around us.  I’m sure the second coming is going to be soon.  Maybe not next week, but it feels like it is just around the corner. So,  I will outline what has been prophecied to happen before the second coming and you can see for yourself how close we are.  This is taken from the book, Mormon Doctrine by Bruce R. McConkie Apostasy Restoration...

ShareMormon rules on clothing have been the topic of much debate, lately.  Many people take notice of the different way that people who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints dress.  It makes them stand out a bit because they are very conservative in their dress and tend to look alike to outsiders. Mormon rules on clothing are pretty strict by today’s standards.  The...

ShareIn the previous post about Mormon rules, I covered the basic rules, but there are many smaller rules that we had as a family while I was growing up.  I don’t know if they’re “Mormon rules”, but the culture is hard to separate from the religion, so I’ve just posted the rules we had as a family. 1.  On Sundays, we didn’t play with our friends or go out to...
