I am a Mormon girl and have not broken the law of chastity. In 2 years I will be serving a mission (no doubt about it). It is also very important for to get married and sealed in the temple.

I have several questions. I have read and heard things…. I have several questions. I have read and heard things. I simply want yes or no answers as to whether some things are true (obviously some description would be nice though). First, Is it true that Mormons believe that someone has to be baptized into the Mormon church to go to heaven? And if they […] (March 1, 2013, 1 comment)
I understand that in the early days of the Church, the Book of Mormon wasnt used as much in studies and church services as it is today, that members werent encouraged to really read it and know it as they are today? In the early days they mostly used the Bible? Is this true? If […] (February 23, 2013, 2 comments)
Today at school one of my good friends (who is Mormon) said she was fasting. Why do Mormons fast? And also, what are the benefits of fasting? Thanks! (February 20, 2013, 3 comments)
I am very interested in the Mormon church. I have difficulty though with the story of John Smith. I love the family values, but that story gets me stuck every time.

Mormons and Medicine? My Response. I recently came across this claim about Mormons on the internet, written by Rafael OK, Eric Yosomono, and J. Wisniewski: “Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith… believed that pharmaceuticals and doctors were bad news for a healthy body. Instead, Smith advocated natural remedies for all that ailed you. And he took that mentality to […] (February 2, 2013)
Many years ago, my grandmother wanted me to read her Book of Mormon but, my father, a Baptist, would not permit it. When she died, her things were packed in her steamer trunk and stored for over fifty years. Now, that I am retired and my parents are long dead, I decided to go through […] (January 27, 2013, 3 comments)
I can’t stop blushing! Please help me…. Hello! Ever since I was 12 years old, I’ve suffered from a medical condition that causes chronic facial blushing and erythrophobia. Basically, I am not able to control my blushing. It’s normal to get a little red when someone is embarrassed, or because someone is irritated. But, in my case, I can’t control it. I […] (January 27, 2013, 1 comment)
Hello. I know the most popular and maybe plausible theory for where the event in the Book of Mormon took place is mesoamerica and the mayans. I can agree that many things about those areas and ancient cultures fit the descriptions in the Book of Mormon. But if those cities and cultures really had their […] (January 22, 2013, 3 comments)

I know mormons think the body is sacred and that they dress modestly and have special underwear. But what about when you go to a public swimminghall, where you shower and sit in sauna naked with strangers (of the same sex, but still). Is that allowed for mormons? (January 14, 2013, 2 comments)
El Santo Gringo, I know you’re a scientist, and I’m… Pedro Silva, I know you’re a scientist, and I’m trying to work out in my own mind how science and religion should be approached differently. I came across the following ideas below on the internet. Can you comment? 1. “Science is a human endeavor, while revelation is apparently partly human and partly divine. We expect […] (January 5, 2013, 1 comment)
Why do Mormons believe God has a physical body? For me, having a body means I am restrained by my physical strength, the speed with which my brain processes my surroundings, my emotions, etc. But obviously God is not like this at all. He is not restrained by time and there are no limits on […] (January 5, 2013, 1 comment)
I committed adultery again. Help me repent. I’m sealed to my husband, and my children are active in the church. We were very happy, but I committed adultery.

Now I don’t know what to do […] (January 5, 2013, 1 comment)

Why no alcohol? Can I remarry? Why don’t you accept alcohol if Jesus himself offered wine as a representation of his blood? Also, I’m currently separated. I’m following Mormon standards and have a lot of family members who are Mormon, though they haven’t told me anything about the church yet. I have a son from a previous relationship. He’s already five […] (January 5, 2013, 1 comment)

Please help me with my doubts. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God? Do you believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost as one God? Do you believe in hell? What does baptism mean in your religion? Do you believe that Joseph Smith is in heaven with God? Do you believe that Jesus Christ will return to […] (December 9, 2012, 2 comments)
My husband was called to be the Bishop. I’ve been a member of the church for five years now, and I’m very happy in it. My testimony is strong. About a year ago, my husband was called to be the bishop of my ward, but I’m not very happy about his calling. He dedicates all his time to the work. I feel a […] (December 9, 2012, 4 comments)

Hi. You might remember me vaguely from my previous post from over 10 months ago, but I just came back to ask about baptism. In March, I held talks with missionaries who went through the process in which it leads to your worthiness test with your bishop. I am at that stage, but unfortunately the […] (December 4, 2012, 4 comments)
How to Recover from a Serious Sin. People can change I often receive emails from people who have committed serious sins. These people feel spiritually lost and don’t know how to return to the right path. If you find yourself in this situation, I want you to know that God still loves you. There’s no sin that’s beyond them reach of Christ’s […] (December 2, 2012)
I got a girl pregnant. I feel so bad because a few months ago I talked with my bishop. I’d committed a serious sin and he encouraged me not to commit it anymore.

I’ve come back to the church, but I’m discouraged. Hi brothers and sisters! I have an important question. I’ve been a member of the church since birth, but I’ve never really been active for much time. I returned to the church four months ago, and everything seems completely new to me. Really, I feel more like a convert then a life-long member. My problem […] (November 25, 2012, 1 comment)
What should I do about Jehovah’s Witnesses? Hello. Maybe this seems like a strange question, but Jehovah’s Witnesses often do missionary work a lot like we Mormons do.

Should I go on a mission? Hi! I’m a woman, and I recently decided to serve a full-time mission. I’ve been preparing, but lately I’ve been feeling some attraction for other women.

I committed adultery. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been disfellowshipped from the church because I committed adultery. In six months or so I’ll have completed the repentance process.

My mom recently asked me if I was pregnant. I was horrified because I’m so dedicated to saving myself for marriage. This question really hurt me. It’s as if she didn’t trust me.

Is baptism essential? What about baptism for the dead? According to the Scriptures, the only saving substitution was made by Jesus. Isn’t the idea of salvation through baptism the same as becoming a co-savior? But isn’t Jesus the only Savior? People should decide their eternal condition (salvation or perdition) while they’re in this world, not afterwards. There is no way, according to the Scriptures, […] (November 4, 2012, 1 comment)
Do I need to tell the elders that I lost my virginity? Ever since I was little I have always heard about the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints and had a certain admiration for it.

My boyfriend was also Mormon, but my decision to receive the […] (November 4, 2012, 1 comment)
