i was raised as one, my entire family practices, my parents, grandparents, brother, aunts, uncles...only a few arent practicing but arent opposed to it either. i became one when i was 14, but when i was 18 is when i went inactive for "disciplinary" purposes but by the time im 20 (a few months) everything should be back to normal..
i agree whole-heartedly with what they teach and not just because that's how i was raised but when i compare it to other religions they just stand out a lot more.

I have no problem with JWs and LDS. However, they need to understand that an unwritten rule exists. Talk about your religion, fine. Involve me in conversation, sure. Preach to me, and I no longer feel obligated to respect your beliefs.
Some people have a problem with that, others do not.

"Here then is eternal life...to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you...To inherit the same power, the same glory and the same exaltation, until you arrive at the station of God." Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol 6, page 306.
Mormons can become Gods?
"Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errorsómany plain and precious things were deleted, in consequence of which error and falsehood poured into the churches. One of the great heresies of modern Christendom is the unfounded assumption that the Bible contains all of the inspired teachings now extant among men." McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 82,83.
"In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it....In all congregations when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods." Joseph Smith, (Founder and First Prophet), History of the Church, Vol 6, pp. 308,474.
"Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers...Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; he was born in the same personal, real and literal sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father." McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 547, 742.
"The appointment of Jesus to be the Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God. He was called Luciferóthis spirit-brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of mankind." Milton R. Hunter, The Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15.
"If we ask who will stand at the head of the resurrection in this last dispensation, the answer isóJoseph Smith, Junior, the Prophet of God. He is the man who will be resurrected and receive the keys of the resurrection, and he will seal this authority upon others, and they will hunt up their friends and resurrect them." Discourses of Brigham Young, p. 116.
We also have to forsake the sin and never repeat it, not even in our minds...In order to remain forgiven, we must never commit the sin again." ( Uniform System for Teaching Families, pp.35,36)
"In other words, If there is one divine law that he does not keep he is barred from participating in the Kingdom, and figuratively guilty of all, since he is denied all." Joseph Fielding Smith (Prophet), Answers to Gospel Questions, Vol.3, p. 26.
"In other words, If there is one divine law that he does not keep he is barred from participating in the Kingdom, and figuratively guilty of all, since he is denied all." Joseph Fielding Smith (Prophet), Answers to Gospel Questions, Vol.3, p. 26.
"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol 6, pp.408,409).
Whoever says that Mormonism isn't a cult is the ignorant one. I could go on all day about this shit. I'm not ignorant. I've researched this several times.
Also, saying this religion is based off of Christianity is sorely mistaken.

if you believe in jesus as the son of god than you're based in christianity. can't be more simple than that.

but then to go off and deny most of what make christianity what it is cannot be considered a christian religion.
If you do research, Mormonism is closer to Hinduism than Christianity.
I'm not going to argue about it being a Christian religion because there is no factual evidence to prove either way.
