What is Mormonism? What is the Mormon Church?

Although the Mormon Church would like people to think it is a church, the truth is that rather than being a church it is in reality a large business corporation.

If the president of the Mormon Church decided to close down every Mormon chapel and temple tomorrow, the Mormon Corporation (dozens of different businesses and firms) would in all probability still be able to function without a church membership.

The above is unlikely to happen as the existence of chapels and temples brings in a great deal of money in tithing receipts and, as with all MLMs (legit and non-legit) there is a need for a constant income stream to keep the whole thing afloat.

The difference is that traditional MLMs need money in order to pay income to its members, whereas the Mormon Church/Mormon Corporation does NOT pay the members in its downline a single penny!

With a traditional legit MLM, everyone who works hard will receive some income. But with the MLM that is the Mormon Church/Mormon Corporation only a very tiny number of people actually get any recompense for their time, effort and input.

Would you be a hard-working member of an MLM downline if only the person at the very top got an income? Of course you would not! The idea is utterly unreasonable!

And yet that is exactly how Mormonism works.

It makes me sad to see how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is so misunderstood. I understand life brings surprises and people fall away for whatever reason. I understand people can feel misunderstood or be offended by members of the LDS faith. What I can't understand is why someone such as yourself, someone who is no longer a believer, would choose to spend even one second of your life preaching against the gospel?

If you don't want to spend your time or life going to church, the activities, doing service, callings, reading scriptures, or being a mormon at all, then why let it still control you? If you don't want it in your life, then why are you still keeping it in your life, in such a negative way?

Whether your a mormon or ex-mormon, why fixate? Can't you let it be. Can't you accept that the people in the gospel work and give because we love it so very much. Because we believe there is a greater cause and that giving everything down to the air in your lungs is a gift from God and rejoice because of it?

I just don't understand why someone who doesn't believe what we believe, would bother trying to convince us otherwise. We will not be swayed. I will not be swayed.

But I will pray for you and your wife. I pray you'll find the peace you are so clearly searching for..whether you realize it or not.

On the contrary, anonymous. People understand the Mormon church only too well.

I don't. I spend a small portion of my life preaching against the false doctrine that is Mormonism.
