Right on, this is the truth the whole truth and nothingbut the truth. I can add one.
You might be a mormon if the truth about your church pisses you off! Keep the jokes coming love it. - 04/12/2008 - danna
This list was funny! There were some sacred things mocked, which any sincere believer wouldn't enjoy, but the Mormon tendencies were accurate. I've been a member my whole life and have seen it! Notwithstanding some weird stuff we do, the doctrines "the Church" teaches are true. I know it "without a shadow of a doubt". - 04/08/2008 - Michael
Mormons really are exactly like this... this is SO true, in ways that people who were never LDS cannot completely understand. I am a former "member" ... believe me, I know. - 03/03/2008 - freethinker
SR, and all the others - I have been to Utah, lots of times actually, and whilst of course there are some bad Mormons, some who are hypocritical, some who can appear over zealous, and every single one with some fault of one sort or another, most are trying to be good people, to care for their neighbor, to be honest and sincere etc. etc. Of course every religion requires faith, believing in something you can't see, that does not make you naïve or foolish. There are some things that cannot be read, or learned, they can only be experienced - and that is why I am an active member of the church. Yes, there are unanswered questions about church history but I know what I have experienced and that cannot be denied, nor 'explained away'. So in spite of my imperfections, the inevitable imperfections even of Jospeh Smith (in a developing church in a developing nation), the imperfections of the leaders today, the church is still true. - 03/03/2008 - Mart
Seems pretty much right on to me, if a bit tongue in cheek at times. I've been around, married to, divorced from and related to TBM's all my long life. My great-grandfather was a polygamist and influential in the church after arriving in the Salt Lake valley in 1853. Anyone who can't see the truth and humor in this list is kidding themselves or has never lived or visited more than a couple of days in Utah where Mormonism still exists in it's most pure, silly and scary - 02/16/2008 - NoMo
Yea, actually as a former member of "the church"... this is exactly the crap they beleive (misspelling intentoinal) - 01/27/2008 - ex-mo
if people like this take pot-shots at you based on their absolute ignorance of your most precious and sacred held beliefs. Find a Mormon friend or acquaintence who is active in his reglion and test all this against him or her. Find your own answers based on personal experience. - 12/19/2007 - cljones
Learn how to spell before you post things on this website. Plus, 98% of these are false. They don't even make sense. Nice try though. - 01/05/2008 - Boyd
Utterly disgusting, rude, untrue, completely false and biased. You really don't know members of the Church and you have not read the Book of Mormon. Keep in mind, Joseph had a third grade education and translated the gold plates in 60 days. If you really read the book with an open mind and a desire to know if it is true, you would look at it differently, but I can see that would be impossible as you would be unwilling. - 10/16/2007 - LDS Member
This is exactly how mormons are...100% right on...come to utah and see for your self! - 10/07/2007 - SR
I guess the irony is that "really offended" just sent a comment that illustrated about ten of the above "mormon if's". Being a non-mormon in Zion is a real eye opener, it is scary how many times I have been told to just sit down for an hour with so and so and I will learn the right. Oh my god, give me a break, we are all entitled to believe whatever we choose (or in the case of the LDS faith, what we are told to choose), don't preach to me and tell me that my beliefs are not as worthy as yours. I don't lecture to you, don't lecture to me. Of course, since all of our neighbors are so much more worthy than we, that is why their kids can't play with ours and why they can steal rose bushes right out of our yards, but can't acknowledge us when we are all in our front yards or teach their children that we are all created equal and should be treated as such. Such a sad way to go through life and to think that the LDS faith believe that they are christian. 08/03/2007 - Not mormon in Zion
Wow, I followed this link from Mormon No-More out of curiosity and discovered a wellspring of Mormonisms. This will help keep me sane when I move back behind the "Zion Curtain" next year. :D Noticed a couple spelling errors on the "You may be a Mormon if" page but besides that great site! - 04/16/2007 - Shael
okay i am 14 years old and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that this is not true so please don't believe it if you want to know more about the church then ask someone you know that is mormon someone that has gone to seminary at 6 in the morning before school through all of highschool, someone who has been baptized and knows how amazing it is to feel the holy ghost, and someone who knows what they are talking about or go to lds.org or mormon.org. Don't believe any of this, please!! i know its not true because i am a mormon everyday and it is the thing i am most grateful for. - 06/15/2007 - anon
I would just like to take a minute to tell you what a bunch of jackasses you all are if this is how you think mormons realy are. I am a 29 year old woman who lives in Utah and yes I am a member of the lds church, I have three kids and I am my husbands only wife, I have never been abused, I am not a racist and I cant even remember the last time I had green jello. You are the racist narrow minded people that you accuse people of the mormon church of being!!! - 06/08/2007 - Shawna
In regards to your "highly offended" comment betacord@hotmail.com,I am married to a former mormon,whose family is all still TBM's,& this is EXACTLY how they behave.They treat me like the anti-Christ,ignore my children,and harp at me and my husband about having our daughters blessed and/or baptised.I have 13 nieces and nephews,most have which have been at LEAST blessed at birth,and have made comments such as that my daughter has made Jesus mad at her for wearing a tank top in 100 degree heat,and recently have had a TBM sister-in-law start a HUGE family fight over the documented FACT that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy,but that it's not true(according to her) and that that particular info is not pertinent to the salvation of your soul,so it can be discredited.There is your truth. - 04/10/2007 - marriedtoaformermo
People who think like this are really sad. This page is neither honest or funny. I guess no religion is safe from persecution. Thanks for reminding me. - 01/27/2008 - Bella
what kind of crap is this??? do you honestly think this is how members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints act/believe??? I so you are extremly mistaken!!!! please feel free to contact me and I will be more than willing to tell you the truth. - email: betacord@hotmail.com - -3/26/2007 - really offended
