Mormon Exodus: A Speech For The Loss Of Brigham Young

Member of the church prefer to be recognized as Latter Day Saints though there are many different ways to call them both politely and discriminatory. The above way is however the most common and acceptable.

"My brother and I have accepted the Savior as you are to do so that you can benefit from the restored word and the promise. We have had our eyes opened and are released from captivity. How thankful we are to have the restored gospel, and you will soon be given stories revealing what was hidden since the creation of the world.

People and religion are a part of everyday life. The world is sure to be empty without the existence of God’s creation. When people and religion are viewed as different, the history, beliefs, and practice are formed unrealistically by outsider, more so than an insider. In an interview with a LDS, the author attempts to write and summarize a Mormon‘s journey through life with God and others.

I grew up in Virginia with lots of close friends, both near me and in the church. We were in a fairly big ward and hung out with many families. There were not many members of LDS church, but it was enough to have good examples and friends with the same standards. Although many of my friends were not LDS, they were supportive and knew what I believed and the way I wanted to live. However, this was all going to change the summer after my freshman year. In the summer of 2013 my family moved to England for my dad’s job. With this came a new ward, new friends, a new school, and a new community. Leaving my friends I had been close to for ten years was hard. When we got to our new ward it was really small, especially the youth. My two sisters and

There is a power that lies in each of us, a flame that burns so bright. Yet, it is only unlocked as we search, ponder and pray. But about what you may ask. The answer may come as a surprise to some, or may hit home for others. We each must Search, Ponder and Pray about "The Book of Mormon", about The Prophet Joseph Smith, about the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the ways in which attending The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints promotes a sense of community among the congregation at the Victoria, British Columbia location and how the perception that this religion is similar to a cult is an inaccurate representation of the faith. We attended a Sacrament at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Victoria and conducted an interview with a six-year member of the church, furthermore referred to as Hayley or Hayley Downton, to gain a deeper insight into the beliefs of this religion. In this paper, we will be focusing on how globalization and modernization has influenced the religious beliefs and practices of Mormonism; the sacred objects and rituals within this religion that assists in promoting a sense of community; and on how we disagree with Karl Marx’s perspective and critique of religion being “the opiate of the masses” (Hegel,

In the early 1800’s during the time of the Second Great Awakening was a time of turmoil and confusion for the citizens of different religions during this time. Many different religions began to pop up during this time, and each vied for the attention of potential converts. However, a boy Joseph Smith decided to seek the true religion through prayer, and he was told none of them was true. This is a story that every member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints learns about when they are young. The principle that I will be studying this paper is that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and by understanding this we know that the fullness of the gospel has been restored to the earth today.

Sunday February 7, 2016 Gorge Mason University Religious studies class attended a church meeting at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) or commonly known as the Mormon church. The church meeting was broken up into three hours. The first hour was the sacrament meeting and announcements from the bishop. This hour was unique because it was the first Sunday of the month. Which is fast and testimony Sunday and members of the church fast for 24 hours to get revelation or to remember and scarifies something like eating for Jesus Christ.

The Mormon micro culture comes up with many names for a variety of things. This includes G’s, Nicmo, Devo, Scripts, RM, BYU I Do, and Preemie. G’s are garments that are sacred underwear that we wear once we are endowed in the temple, a Nicmo is a non-committing make out session, Devo is short for Devotional in which we have every Tuesday during the semester, Scripts is short for scriptures, an RM is what most girls at the school are attracted to—Returned Missionaries, BYU I Do is something people say here because there are so many LDS members that attend the school and insist on getting married to one of the many people they find, and a Preemie is a man who hasn’t gone on a mission but plans on going. Many people on the BYU Idaho campus have the same phonology (Lenkeit 2012: 4) in order to communicate these sayings.

Mormonism and the history behind it often leads to the name Joseph Smith. Smith was a man known to be living in western NewYork which is where he encountered God and his son Jesus Christ. Smith, only fourteen years old was conflicted with choosing the right religion and was advised to avoid Christian churches. Not more than three years later, Smith was again approached by someone named Moroni – a visitor from heaven. Moroni explained that he, the last Prophet descended from Lehi’s civilization. Smith was directed to find gold plates engraved with the history of the last prophet of his civilization.

The sun began to set on the hills and darkness crept across the land. It was not just the darkness of night coming, it was also from black clouds that were invading the sky. A strong wind started blowing and lighting started to flash across the sky. In that very moment , Fleance and Banquo felt threatened. The storm was a warning about danger to their lives. Banquo and Fleance decided to return back to the castle which was like a dark mountain in the distance. They rode quickly but because of the strong wind and the amount of lightning going around Banquo and Fleance, the horses got tired very easily.

Since I was a boy, it had been a dream of mine to serve an LDS Mission. I had the opportunity to begin serving my mission in Hawaii in February 2011. At the beginning of my mission, I carried self afflicted burdens that caused internal torment that is indescribable. I struggled and prayed to God every day for over seven months that I would find a way to rid myself of my burdens.

This new land idea was great at first but on the way there some of us got sick. A man died on the way to this new land. That took a great toll on me and I began to doubt God. When we arrived my first thought was you, how I should have brought you to this beautiful place and I should have never doubted God.
