Today while I am watching Saturday's sessions in Conference... For those that don't know what our General Conference is. It is where the Prophet of our church Speaks and other members in different quorums and the Relief Society where they each pray about what we need to hear. They divulge new items of business in our church at times. While I have been sitting in and listening to Conference. I had a thought that I need to share my testimony and blog about our church. There are many many people out there that do no know who a "Mormon is". Mormon is just a term for members of our wonderful church and congregation. We aren't really technically "Mormons." We are members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some ppl say that we are a cult. We are not a cult. Unless you say that pretty much every religon, whether they believe in Christ or not is technically a "Cult." From Dictionary.com, at Cult is defined as: Cult    [kuhlt] Show IPA noun 1. a particular system of religious worship, especially with reference to its rites and ceremonies. 2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, especially as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult. 3. the object of such devotion. 4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc. 5. Sociology . a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols. This to me means that pretty much any one that has any type of religious gathering could be considered a cult. They could be gathered to have the same beliefs. They could be gathered to learn from one another. I get tired of ppl always saying that we are a cult. But you know what? I will not let that get me mad. At the top of this page I put that I am A Mormon. I am not Perfect. I am definitely not perfect in anyway possible. I am not always nice. I have a temper at times. I don't always have a tact for holding things back when I feel like something has to be said. One thing that I am grateful for is the fact and the knowledge that we have that we have the Savior there for us. And that we can pray to our Heavenly Father. I like making new friends. You don't always have to be of the same faith as me. I like to talk to other ppl about their religion as well. My testimony is that I know that the church is true. This is the true church on the earth today. I am so grateful that this church is so huge on how families can be together forever. We have temples where worthy members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may attend. We do Baptisms for the Dead. And we are sealed together to our husband or wife. One thing that used to be in our church is that yes there was Polygamy. But that was a long long time a go. And Heavenly Father had polygamy at the time because there were a lot of women that didn't have their husband. But their husband went off to war and was killed or they were killed other ways. The women needed to be cared for. Today we do not have an affiliation with any religion that has to do with Polygamy. I am grateful for our Prophet that we have on the earth today. Our prophet today is President Thomas S. Monson. I am grateful for his love for everyone. He loves you all whether you are a member of this church or not. I wish I could love everyone unconditionally. And I will try harder to love my neighbors, co-workers, or some of the participants that I work with. I know that they are children of God. I am going to start putting on here more about my scripture studies. And my feelings. I hope that the thoughts I share will be able to touch the lives of others. If you are not a member of the church, I would love to hear from you what you know about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If any of you have questions you can always go to Lds.org.
