I'm a Welsh user, born and raised in the land of my fathers for all thirty-five years of my life thus far. Today, well about 20 minutes ago really, I was visited by two young American gentlemen.
Being the first Americans I have ever met face to face I was a little taken aback by their accents but the reason they were here was to promote their beliefs and church of Mormon.
Now I don't know a whole lot about Mormons but these two were well dressed and presented, well spoken and genuinely nice to talk to, they even had local knowledge so they'd put some effort in.
They asked if I believed in god, to which I answered "I'm not really sure, I feel like I should and that I want to but it just seems as though something is missing" and they both nodded and explained how they came to find faith themselves, which were interesting tales.

They left me with a little booklet titled "The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" and I wished them all the best but now i'm thinking, was that the safety rope I needed? Should I have embraced it fully? Was the appearance of two American men at my little Welsh door a sign?
Could any mormons here tell me more?

Its pretty much Islam for white people, with more fundamentalist groups even practicing polygamy and marriage between grown men and teenage and preteen girls.

Oh. Well, i'm not sure that's really what i'm looking for then, shame. Still they were nice enough to give me this little booklet so the least I can do is read it.

I mean its still ostensibly Christianity but many of their beliefs are so radical that most Christian groups refuse to acknowledge Mormons as actual Christians. They don't believe in Muhammad or the Quran or anything like that if that is what you want, my main point is that they are very socially conservative and traditionalist compared to mainstream Christians in the US. IIRC they didn't even accept blacks as actual people or let them join the church until the 1980s.

>Its pretty much Islam for white people
This is not true and exaggerated under incorrect assumptions.

You will get raped very soon.

Somewhat more accurate of a statement, but
>they didn't even accept blacks as actual people or let them join the church until the 1980s

This statement is embellished. Blacks were free to join the LDS church even before this, the restrictions were regarding their ability to receive the priesthood. This is not the case any longer and merely historical footnote now.

Put an end to the heretics quickly or lose your pubs.

The appearance of Americans is usually a sign of a bad thing about to happen. Mormonism is retarded, you are probably a retard if you follow it.

Get yer guns back Strayan... Reclaim your independence from the Queen.

It's a trap - a huge scam to get people to visit Utah.

Mormonism is Christianity fanfiction. Its adherents are all nice and happy but that's because dissenters get kicked out and shunned and then are no longer Mormons. Polygamy is still around and young Mormon men get fucked over hard.

Pretty bad characterization of Mormonism. I'm not even Mormon but I can tell you that's just misleading. Mormons don't attack people, and though Mormons have pretty strict conservative views, they are otherwise fully integrated into society. Mitt Romney (a Mormon) almost became president of the US, for example. But it was never really that big of a deal that he was mormon. Most people just viewed him being Mormon like they'd view him as a member of a different Christian sect (e.g., Catholic, Lutheran, Protestant, etc.)

Mormons are religious nut jobs but are just about the nicest people you will ever meet. I had Mormon neighbors growing up and that family would literally give the shirt off their backs to help a complete stranger. Plus they always gave everyone in the neighborhood really tasty food gifts randomly throughout the year. Pies, roasts, etc. Genuinely great people.

Why don't catholics fix their Jesuit Pope problem.
Somehow raping children isn't heretical.
Mathew 18:6
"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

How do Catholics justify their Pederass Priests?

>Mormonism is Christianity fanfiction
and Christianity is Jewish fanfiction. what's your point?

A hundred years ago or so, an American con artist with a history of being run out of towns claimed to dig up golden tablets in a field tht were engraved with hieroglyphic-like inscriptions which he claimed to translate and write down.

why would you read a fanfic of someone's fanfic that is written by a guy who just wants to fuck 40 wives?
Mormonism is Scientology-tier. Mormons are pretty top tier as far as people go though.

Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. Judaism doesn't make sense in the wake of Christ.

Read "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith" by Jon Krakauer. he goes into the history of this church.

Joseph Smith didn't let anyone else see the plates, and he "translated" them by putting "seer stones" in his hat, put his face in the hat, and recited it to someone who wrote it down. Seems legit...

I hope you were nice and offered them a beer or a Coke or something.

I'll check it out, thanks.

They believe that American Indians and South Americans of American Indian blood (i.e. Mexicans) are the descendants of Hebrews called Lamanites and a blessed people.

I'm also a welsh user and I read this post like it was spoken by someone from the valleys

Read the King James Bible.

mormons are good people, no joke. the foundation on the religious sect is a bit..shall we say...silly though...its unfortunate.

Seriously though britbong, who wouldn’t want to have 12 beautiful white wives who are ripe in their early 20’s? Everyone here says it’s islam for white people but it takes all the shitty aspects out of that religion. I wish my family was part Mormon honestly.

1: Mormons tend to be dicks in terms of morality. As in, they're violent, wife-beating, drug-using (Look up Utah's Antidepressent use) hypocrites.
2: They're heretics - basically literal Pagans who worship a great mother.
3: They don't even drink coffee. I can get behind anti-alcohol sentiment and I've quit 100% after the typical youthful mistakes, but no coffee?
4: In their defense, they tend to be 'superior' in the sense that their women are ultra-feminine and the men actually go on Mission - the non-jerk Mormons are superior to the non-jerk-non-Mormons.

I'd be proud to live next to Mormons, all things considered. They're flawed like all people, but their culture gives them traits which make up for it.

You are a dipshit. 99% of them are do not practice polygamy or fuck kids.
I've liked every Mormon I've ever met, but I've never met a Skoosen Mormon.

It's not Bible based. Avoid joining them at all cost.

“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Rev. 22:18–19.)
