    What is the difference between Mormons and Jehovah's witness?

    lismore- As Phoebe Ann said, there is quite a difference. Myself being a Mormon, I'm quite familiar with people mistaking us with the other for the very reason you said: knocking doors. That's probably one of the only things that make us similar. Other than that our defining and unique core...

    A Christmas present... from a MORMON?!

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think leaving a statue of Christ under a tree of a Christian friend is not even comparable to leaving a statue of Martin Luther under the tree of Catholic. That said, I'm thankful for your view. Apparently, you'd find it extremely insulting and you would see it as a...

    Mormon Lady Went to Hell

    I guess I didn't make it clear- I am a Mormon and that's not what we believe. I understand how people can get confused about it, even within our church it requires a bit of explanation. Its not as clear cut as afterlife being Heave and Hell. I don't have time to get too into it, but as for...

    Mormon Lady Went to Hell

    Oh crap! I'm going to hell? Bishop, I demand a refund! Sorry to say, but I'm totally not buying this lady's claim or rather I'm not accepting it her experience as doctrine. I'm a little wierded out by her saying she hadn't read out of the Bible in 16 years yet was involved in the LDS...

    A Christmas present... from a MORMON?!

    Dang too late, I totally should have gone the sweater route. MrJim- that was very interesting insight on Baptists I had never known and I'm thinking it totally makes sense. I even looked all around their house and their decorations seeing only crosses and Bibles verses. The only depiction of...

    How to explain Mormons are not Christians?

    I've seen this silly argument come up again and again. The same old "No you aren't" vs. "Yes we are" in regards to the label of 'Christian.' And like most of the theological arguments I typically hear, the disagreement stems directly from a lack of a common consent on the definition of the...

    Midnight mass - what a non-Catholic should expect?

    Thanks for the tips everyone, there is definitely some good advice here. Also, just out of curiosity, what does 'start of the Advent' mean. Forgive my ignorance, when was that, and what was that? Another question I have is in regards to attire for mass. I want to blend in as best I can...

    Midnight mass - what a non-Catholic should expect?

    Hello Catholics! I've decided to attend midnight mass this year. I've never been to one before, so I have no idea what to expect. Is there anything I should know before I waltz on in by myself? I've been to a regular Sunday Catholic service long ago, should I expect sort of the same thing...

    Using a tablet as a Bible in Church

    I personally don't have a smartphone or tablet, but sort of admire those that have them. Like someone else mentioned before, I would be more inclined to use my hard-copy at home for study so i can make notes in the margin etc., but there are times during church when I wish I could look up a...

    How to explain Mormons are not Christians?

    Sorry, but incorrect. Just wanted to set the record straight on that point. Also, I hate to stir the pot but I'm surprised this thread is still open considering the forum guidelines state the following: My guess is if you were to start a survey thread in the Mormon section asking if they, the...

    A Christmas present... from a MORMON?!

    Hello Baptists and people of other similar denominations, I have a question and want your honest opinion. Background: I am a Mormon who works at a small business where the owner and his family are very involved in their church- which I believe is a sort of Baptist church. This is my first...
