Did Mormons take over the future?

I didn't see any magic undies, though. LOL.



If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. - George W. Bush

Looked more like a liberal utopia to me. Everyone has to do exactly as the government says, or pay the consequences. The old and young live or die based on what the government decides, paying the ultimate consequence.

One more to be added: The second "m" is always silent. (Think about it.)

I'm guessing you don't know any actual Mormons.

=====================

It's just a film!! Chilllllllllll

Wow, you must not know anything about Mormons or even met one. This list is very inaccurate. I am a Mormon. The only one that has some truth to it is number 4. We don't drink or smoke. There is nothing against caffeine in the church. It is common to see members who don't drink caffeine, but it is equally common to see members drink caffeine. We don't drink coffee, but many will drink coke, pepsi, etc. The other ones though, are completely off.

1. We don't believe in having premarital sex. And we are encouraged not to date until 16 years old. We are encouraged to be careful when dating to not cross the line, but touching is not forbidden.
2. There is and never has been assigned uniforms ever. Obviously, when we go to church we dress nicely. But its not like your excommunicated if you show up to church in your jeans though.
3. Women can where what they want in our church, but are encouraged to dress modestly. Most women in the church I know where pants more than they do dresses. The only time many will wear a dress or skirt is to church. But I have seen women wear pants to church and that is no big deal
5. I don't even understand where this one comes from. We learn history just like everyone else does. Mormon children will attend public schools just like many others. We learn history just as everyone else does
6. Mormons live all over the world not in a specific community. Yes, Utah has a large community of Mormons. But we don't think negatively of Mormons who live in Japan, Brazil, Mexico, or wherever they may live.
7. We believe that we have a prophet that we listen to, but we don't just follow blindly. We are encouraged to ask questions and seek answers to those questions. We encourage all to seek to have a testimony of their own of the church. That only comes from asking questions. We don't encourage blind obedience. We want people to obey because they want to.
8. While many Mormons are politically conservative and many may support capital punishment, there is no mandate with how we are to vote politically. We absolutely don't believe in murdering and killing innocent people like Fiona and the babies that were being killed. If you knew anything about Mormons is that we are certainly Pro-life. While the church doesn't endorse any parties or politicians, it will make stances on issues that it feels are of huge importance like abortion, marriage, and various other things. So the killing of innocent children already makes this community as far from being like Mormons as it possibly can.
9. White shirt and tie is not exclusive to Mormons. We dress up when we go to church. That isn't odd. But the tie doesn't have to black. You can where whatever tie you want.

The biggest difference with this community and Mormons is that one of our core beliefs is that having the ability to choose is VERY important. We believe the whole purpose of our existence on earth is for us to receive a body and strive to make good decisions while facing opposition. We commonly refer to this life as a "test." We are here to prove ourselves worthy to return to our Heavenly Fathers presence so that we can become like Him someday. We believe Satan before he became the father of all lies suggested a plan to God where he would play a similar role to Jesus Christ, but our agency would be taken away while on this earth. We would have no choice but to choose what we were supposed to. Gods plan, we believe was to give us a choice, because the only way we could become like him and obtain all the blessings he has in store for us is to face opposition and learn to choose good. He knew we couldn't do it by ourselves, so he sent Jesus Christ to come down and perform an Atonement for our sins so that as long as we strive our best to follow God's commandments and repent of our wrongdoings, we can be forgiven. It is because of that, that we can become better people and come closer to God and become more like him. Choice is an important part of that plan. Now this is kind of a short summary of some of the things we believe, but my point in sharing is to illustrate that choice is so important to us. This community in the giver couldn't be further from how we as Mormons want to live. The reason I love this movie is because it teaches the importance of opposition. Without sadness, there is no joy, without hate, there is no love. Without opposition we couldn't truly appreciate the joy that we can obtain. This movie teaches the importance of having the ability to choose. That is something Mormon doctrine fully supports. So please, don't spread these lies about our faith. Educate yourself about what we really believe.

Not true.

There were no Osmond songs.

It's that man again!!
