[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I was raised Mormon. One thing that is different about this church is that you can't really pick and choose which parts to adhere to or be a casual member like you can with most faiths. They are very clear that this is THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH ON EARTH. Once you become a member, you are expected to give your time, money, and "everything with which God has blessed you or with which he may bless you" to building up the church. That is a direct quote from a covenant you make in the Mormon temple endowment ceremony, which you will be expected to participate in one year after baptism. There is so much else I could say. I left the church as an adult, and it was the best decision I ever made. Despite appearances, this is not just a regular Protestant church with strong family values and boys in white shirts knocking on doors. It bears many characteristics of a cult. I say this as someone who once represented the Mormon church as a missionary and whose family are all still very much part of it. Please do a lot of research before making this decision. If you are meeting with the missionaries, I know from experience that they are under a lot of pressure to baptize you as quickly as possible. But take the time to fully consider your choice. Best of luck to you.[/quote]

The whole thing just seems odd....
