Yes, but we try to act as if we're not. The fact is, we were once space beings from the Planet Kolob (Constellation Cancer, sector 1328) .It's our plan of salvation to return to that heavenly orb, after death. Joseph Smith, our first prophet, teaches of Kolob and of other planets. They are named Planet Oliblish and Planet Enish-go-on-dosh. See also our Kolob Hymn. See similar questions...

We were all raised Mormon in different parts of the United States, but none of us have stayed active within the church. Actually, yes. See similar questions...

We try to act like Christians, but our beliefs are in may cases opposite of those of Christianity. For example, we hold the cornerstone of Christianity, that or Original Sin, to be a false doctrine. We have a polytheistic religion: we believe that "worlds without end" exist, and each is governed by one or its own gods (and daemons, too:). We believe that the normal Christian Trinity -- of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are a false concept. See similar questions...

The official name of the Mormon Church today is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Joseph Smith founded it at the age of 24, in the state of New York on April 6, 1830. It was originally named the Church of Christ, and then in 1834 the name was changed to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. In 1838 it received its current name (Doctrine and Covenants, Sec.115:4).

Because we do not know for certain that UFOs are spacecraft, we cannot be sure aliens are visiting the earth from other planets. Many ufologists argue that there is enough evidence to show that UFOs are really spacecraft operated by intelligent aliens. Among the reports of encounters with aliens (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or CE-3s), there is a wide variety of descriptions. Some witnesses describe beings who look very human.

There are some races of people on a similar level of mentality to ours, visiting us on Earth. Michel was given telepathic permission from Thiaoouba in 1995 to talk about Grays in front of TV cameras in the USA. Gray people are from a "planet of sorrows" too, and on their own planet they have completely lost their immune system, as a consequence of their "civilized" activities. Simply speaking they are going extinct very quickly. See similar questions...

They do this by finding a hive location (look for a translucent hive hanging from the ceiling; hive locations are also visible on hive sight). Once a gorge finds an empty hive location, he can use his pop-up menu to create a hive (left->left->down) if he has at least 40 resources. It then takes 3 minutes to gestate. As the hive builds, a progress meter on the HUD of every alien shows its progress, until it finally swings down and activates. See similar questions...

The reason the Aliens kept coming to Earth pretty much remained a mystery. In IDENTIFIED, Straker theorized that the Aliens might be a dying humanoid race which had become sterile, and are coming to Earth to extend their own lifespans using human organs for replacements. In ESP, one of the characters who seems to be speaking for the Aliens confirms that their planet is dying, and they mean no harm to the people of Earth. See similar questions...

Some believe that Mu was populated from another planet, so any and all discussion of alien origin, or return, or activities has been of interest to some, and has been shared on the list. Some of the military related postings also relate to this because it is believed by some that certain alien species have infiltrated for their own nefarious purposes. See similar questions...

One issue that draws an incredible amount of attention to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that of polygamy. Media coverage regarding polygamy, or polygamous groups, is often confusing and misleading. See similar questions...

If by "the doctrine of the Trinity" one means the New Testament claim that there is a Father, a Son, and a Holy Ghost, all three of whom are fully divine, three-in-one. then Latter-day Saints believe in the doctrine of the Trinity. If by "Trinity" one means something else -- perhaps the traditional Christian view, then the answer must be "No!". See similar questions...

Because Jesus Christ is a central figure in their theology, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consider themselves Christians. While it is true that the church has recently placed more emphasis on their Christian-ness than it once did, from the time the church was organized in 1830 onward, church members have always regarded themselves as Christians.

Mormons are some of the most exemplary human beings, especially in regard to their behavior patterns and their adherence to the fundamental values of our society. But their religious beliefs are, to put is simply, wrong. They believe that an angel named Moroni left some gold tablets in upstate New York and that these tablets were discovered by a man named Joseph Smith. From these tablets, Joseph Smith "translated" the Book of Mormon, which is the foundation upon which Mormonism is built. See similar questions...

No, Latter-day Saints worship God the Eternal Father in the name of Jesus Christ. We consider Joseph Smith to be a Seer, Revelator, a Prophet of God and Apostle of Jesus Christ -- similar to those men mentioned in the Bible, like Moses. See similar questions...

Yes. Although some LDS sects now forbids plural marriage, other sects of The Church still adhere to the practice. Mormons gave up polygamy in order that Utah would be given Statehood. (Blood atonement is another practice which is espoused by some LDS sects and not by others). As Faithful members of the Church of Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ, we believe in preparing now, on earth, for polygamy in heaven. Instead of marrying multiple wives on earth, we can be 'sealed' to many wives. See similar questions...

Yes, Latter-day Saints believe that Mary, mother of Jesus Christ and of Jehovah, was a virgin at the time of their conception. See similar questions...

Yes. Latter-day Saints, who have 'been to the temple', wear sacred garments (see picture) under their regular clothing to protect them from physical harm and to remind them of the sacred covenants that they have made with a god, in case they might forget. The garments have special patches sown onto them, at strategic location, which contain meaning to the initiates. Nevertheless, meaning is not of prime importance in our faith.

Yes. Latter-day Saints infer from authoritative sources of scripture and modern prophecy that there is a Heavenly Mother whose name is Mother Gonhorra -- as well as a Heavenly Father. In fact, Heavenly Father is a polygamist, whose wives' primary function is to have more babies. (Heavenly Father is not to be confused with Jesus or with Jehovah; Mormonism has its Heavenly Father, Christianity does not. See similar questions...
