Too conservative for the free-spirited, too free-spirited for the conservative? I have been thinking recently that this may be one of the church's biggest problems when trying to concert new members. Essentially,the church is conservative in nature,conservative in dress,conservative politically( prop 8) and conservative when it comes to lifestyle( no drinking etc.). However it has some

Just wondering if any of you had family or friends who tried to warn you off Mormonism before you joined? Especially since information,such as we can readily find on the net nowadays, was not available until recent years. If so,how did you react?

Well for me I've been fascinated by cults for as long as I can remember,especially Mormonism.I don't know any Mormons and am a young NeverMormon.

I can help you with the Catholic dress code as I was born and raised one. There is none! I think this could be in part due to the fact that there is no set church which you have to attend like a Mormon ward,so you have total anonymity. When I would go shopping for the day in a city with friends we would just go to whichever 6 o'clock mass was close by.

Always wondered this as a Nevermo. Did you ever tell anyone this on your mission?That they can come dressed however is comfortable for them? Presumably this is totally untrue as it is one of the strictest 'Christian' faiths regarding dress that I have heard of and certainly the only denomination which requires certain undergarments .

Never Mormon here.Maybe one of you could enlighten me as to why Mormons take photos at church? Coming from a Catholic background here so find it very strange. You'll often see on ward Facebook pages or on Mormon peoples Facebook pages random pictures of them at church. It could be of them walking around the church or entering the building or even just sitting down. Why do Mormons

This website is just sick and twisted in my opinion,'No one fully knows the root causes of same-sex attraction'and 'We believe that with an eternal perspective, a person’s attraction to the same sex can be addressed and borne as a mortal test.
