Some Mormons are soliciting near my school touting how great poligamy is, can I report this to the LDS church?

Actually Mormons have not stopped polygamy at all.  They simply have hidden it among certain members.  I have studied Mormons and many other religions for decades and know a great deal about them.  More than most Mormons even know.  They publicly denounce polygamy and when recruiting will tell people that ask about it, that no they dont believe it and will refer to Adam having one wife Eve.  However when a Mormon has been in the organization long enough they will say that polygamy is in their belief and they should be like Abraham having many wives.  However they encourage not practicing it to not draw attention by the law.  Yet even today there are those known as the hard core Mormons that live in communes in Utah that do practice polygamy openly.  The church spends a great deal of effort to hide these people as they are considered the "true believers".\n\nYears ago at one of their get togethers there was a Mormon that showed up traveling around.  He had the classic 1800s look of an Omish type person with his beard and no mustache.  I knew I struck pay dirt and went to meet him.  The Mormon bishop and elders knowing who I was tried to distract me but I eventually got to him.  He had no idea who I was and I potrayed myself as a fellow Mormon.  I said all the keywords stating my dad had went through temple marriage ceremonies.  I told him I hope to wear the sacred robe and speak the oaths of secrecy too.  The guy began to speak of how he felt that modern Mormons were gutless and not going to have their own planet like Jehovah.  He then told me about his multiple wives in Utah.  He was overall disgusted that Mormonism had sold out and not practicing what Joseph and Brigham had taught.\n\nSo yes they do believe in this heavily just have a hard time practicing it in the US.  There is a movie that is forbidden for all Mormons to watch but is a tremendous movie called "the godmakers".  It is good expose on them made by former Mormons.  \n\nI have talked with hundreds of Mormons in my time and it has always amazed me about them.  Averagely they are some of the most intelligent and nice people you will ever meet.  I have always just been blown away with the history of that religion and it obvious contradictory beliefs that these good people can stay in it.  It is quite a shame.\n\nI would not worry about these kids preaching out there.  I have never had a problem with anyone of any belief speaking their mind.  No matter how "wrong" I might feel they are, I enjoy hearing people's views.  I like knowing how people came to their life's conclusions.  What draws them to things.

Yes they should be reported. Depending on the overall value of the item's this could be a felony. How many others might they do this to before someone with your astute powers of observation and suspicions stops them.

Absolutely!  Just phrase the auction title correctly to be sure people find it.  You might also want to spend the extra money to get it 'featured' so that people might see it without searching for "potato" "heart" "mutant", etc.\n\nIf you post it, let me know the item number so I can have a look and see how the auction goes.\n\nI am always trying to think of crazy things to put on eBay not necessarily for the money, but just to see people's reactions and to have fun.  I once sold a Ouija board game and made up this whole back-story about how it is cursed and every time I get rid of it it shows up again.  As a special bonus, I included a 'scroll with an ancient curse.'  This was merely a piece of paper bag with all of the edges burned off, I wrote the word 'sh*t' on it and rolled it up and tied it with an old piece of twine.\nIt was an obvious lie, but funny to read and got lots of funny reactions.  Some people were actually offended, but some almost wet themselves reading it.  I didn't get alot of money for it, but more than it cost me!

I don't believe he is forcing his religion upon you, if it is even his religion. I am not Mormon, but Mormon's played an important part in the westward expansion of America during and after the Civil War. It is a relevant part of history. I am sure that you learned about the voyage across the ocean in the Mayflower, right? Well, that is also a religious-centered event, and yet it is considered to be a VITAL part of American history. Same thing with this. If it really bothers you, then speak to an advisor at your school. If you just think it's a lousy assignment, suck it up and do it anyway. You'll forget what you've learned ten minutes after the test is over anyway.

Hmm, the match is interesting, maybe we should all become Mormons, the only trouble is, I keep mis-reading it as morons, sorry, I don't want to upset anyone, it's just that my word eyes aren't too good.\n\nYes, I could, but no, I wouldn't want to.

Did you just get one lately? (don't get offended)\n\nI was from a missionary boys' school and it has strict rules. \n\nI guess it would be public caning. \nThey don't do it that often now though. Society has changed.

It may not be public record, but if it is you could probably get access to it by talking to either the principal or superintendent of your school.  It may help if a parent helps you so that they know you're serious.

I agree with you! If the questions are listed correctly under religion & spirituality, then they have no room to complain. What else do they expect to find here?? If someone posts outside of the correct topic area then it is considered abuse, and it should be reported, just as we would report someone for posting advertising of immoral subjects somewhere. I just believe that some folks have never taken a stand spiritually and are not knowlegable about it and it scares them. So the recourse they use is, "Don't shove it down my throat".  Also as far as the other person that said you weren't being christianly by your post is wrong, being upset is not a sin.........Jesus overthrew the tables of the money changers in the synagoge...done properly it is okay.

There's a link in the site to report abuse. \nIf it's not a joke then just go to the police.

May I have an incense recipe?  I don't think you would consider me pagan.  I don't know what to consider myself.  I usually answer all of the Mormon questions because I am close to some members of the church and I don't like to see it talked about so terribly (which happens A LOT here).  Other than that, just wantin' some incense ;-)

it is a scam.\nDon't touch that with a ten foot pole.\nWhen I get those things I e-mail them back.\nAnd I call them every nasty name I can think of or make up.

I can't believe people are still sneaking in **** about god in schools.  I'm tired of that too.  Why does everyone assume we are all pro god? I think you should sue for all you can.  That's illegal and the teacher is breaking the law!  See if you can google a lawyer that caters to that topic and she or he could give you some good advise.\n\nGood Luck,\nKelly

*Shaking my shaggy skull* Not acceptable sorry. That is considered "Solicitation" something that can and will get you suspended/banned.\n\nAnswers is about sharing knowledge, not personal gain...
