Anyone open to telling me about LDS religon?
I have a few questions for an essay I'm doing and past due questions I have for myself. I have been to the church a few times with close friends and get the "gist," of it.... but need real questions answered. It wont be bias but some of the questions are tough. If they are to tough we will simply continue on to the next question. I am Christian and like I said I have been to the church a few times so I know that the basics....but I'd like to know more.
 Please be so kind to respond.....and get a chance of your point of view being read  Thank you and God Bless!

Fire away! As long as your intention is really to learn and not to criticize, no question is too large or too small.

Thank you so much
It is great to find so many people so willing to talk about their religon. Please to NOT take offence to any of these questions...if any of them are touchy or just not one you want to answer please skip and proceed to the next one. I am here only for answers not to judge.
1. How was the book of mormon begin? and what importance does it have to the LDS church? Would you say you learn more from the book of mormon or the bible? You do read both right? 2.Joseph Smith had a vision. Could you tell me more about it? How is it supported? 3.How does your religon inpact your everyday life? Do you read scriptures in the morning with all of your family? Maybe pray more than the average joe? what is unique to your religon when it comes to your average day? 4.Why are missions so important? What does the missionary get out of it? Have you served a mission? If you have a story about it please share. 5. The families are so close, what does your religion have to do with this? What advice would you have for other families? 6. Why are children not aloud in the temple if they have never sinned? 7.What do you feel is the hardest perception to shake? 8. What is the purpose of the full body suit? Is there a name? 9. If you had to define being mormon....what would you say? 10. What do you want people to know about your relgion before judging it? 11. How do you respond when people consider your church a "cult?" Thank you again, God Bless, Mama Moni Last edited by namastic4488; 08-31-2009 at 12:46 PM.

This seems a little odd to me. There are some questions you've listed that can be answered by the official church website, lds.org. You can also get those answers at mormon.org.
It appears to me that you should do some research first to get the basics (as asked in questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), then come here to get some of the "how do you live" type of questions answered.
