An evil and corrupt religion/cult. These people are only misunderstood in the way that instead of being just naive or ignorant. They are one of the most prejudiced groups of people I have ever seen.
I've lived in Mesa, Arizona for half my life, been to at least ten churches, and I have never been exposed to such ignorant or sexist people in my life. I only say these things because my dad's side of the family since the founding of the cult, have been a member (my great-great-grandfather helped founded Thatcher, Arizona).
All the seemingly superstitious elements that are played down and shrugged off like misunderstood traditions are real. All returned missionaries are given secret names that only they themselves can know until they 'reunite' with their family in heaven. Big Love the tv series touches on these subjects.
As evidence that they are unforgiving and vicious people, my father was excommunicated for marrying a divorced woman with a child. He was outcast, left to fend for himself without any familial support. His family didn't speak to him for 10 years, and his name was disparaged throughout the church. This was why he and my mother moved away to the east coast.
When they moved back to Arizona, they tried to integrate themselves back in the church but eventually realized this was not the religion for them.
Mormons might as well be Amish for the way they treat their women. Women are taught to sew, cook, clean, please her man, and basically become the servant to him, and create tons of 'god's children'. If you have less then four children, you are looked down upon. Any woman with leadership skills or a desire to be more than a housewife is told to be obedient and read the scripture.
Mormons are stupid, they are brainwashed sheep that have no self desire or freewill. They'll believe anything the church tells them to and condemn anyone who asks why they should believe what their told.
And polygamy isn't dead. The church has it stated in a document sealed within the central church in Utah that church leaders never gave up polygamy and only went along with it to save face. Leaders of the mormon religion still believe they should have multiple wives but if that got out it would reveal the religion as a bunch of liars.
Those manipulating, POS assholes also stole my idea of becoming a god when you die. Not in their definition, but close enough.
Ted: "Hey! I want to be a Mormon!"
Bob: "What, so you can have a fake name and believe in a guy who's church rituals come from the freemasons and found gold tablets with holy scripture carved into it, just lying somewhere in the forest?"
Ted: "...Well, maybe the secret name part..."

A bunch of people that conspired to take away every liberty of the people so that they can be that much more pure and controlled. This group then gave these people a belief in supreme being that supposidly watches over then 24-7, knows everything they do, and knows where to send them if they screw up.

adjective describing persons of the mormon religion.
mormons are usually super good at everything and way too polite for their own good. sometimes they have no personality. therefore, mormon is also an adjective meaning boring.

person 2: yeah.
person 1: what did you think about ginny?

A Christian Church founded in upstate New York during the second Great Awakening by a man named Joseph Smith, who claimed to see God and Jesus Christ in the woods near his home. He then claimed to have translated an ancient record, similar to the bible. His Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints proceeded to grow rapidly over the next century, to a size of about 12 million members, approximately half of them active. About half of them live in Utah, where the Mormons migrated in the second half of the 19th century to escape persecution.
Mormons are instructed by their church leaders, called prophets and apostles, to share their religion with others whenever the opportunity arises. Some choose to do this by posting pages of information on mormonism on Urban Dictionary, as anyone viewing this page can clearly see. There are several huge doctrinal problems with this church, two of which have been remedied: racism against Africans, and polygamy. However, many problems still exist, including several accusations of forgery against Joseph Smith, disagreements between information in Joseph's Book of Mormon and archaeological evidence, sexism, and strange/ridiculous rites and ceremonies.
I met a Mormon and her seven children at the grocery store yesterday. She seemed very nice, but something about her was a little weird. She talked to me about Jesus and gave me a strange book.

A made up term promoted by people who dislike the "mormon church." In actuallity there is no "mormon church," "mormon" was the nickname given to followers of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints by their persecuters in the 1800's. Much of the mormon history is shrouded in lies and cover-ups such as when, America, "Land of the free," passed a law stating that it was legal to kill members of this church on sight.
Many ignorant people have devoted their lives to spreading lies about "Mormonism" which any educated ten year old could counter with basic knowledge of this church. I for one am not actually mormon, but do know their teachings and can testify that "anti-mormonism" is slightly retarded in a derogitory sense and extremely petty. Do not believe anything bad you hear about mormons unless it is out of the mouth of somebody currently in the church and YOU think it is bad.
The way I see it, if there IS a right religion, it's either mormonism or the jews because they're the only two that Satan seems to be working against.
