Hi, I'm Joel

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am an individual who tries to actively live the gospel in my everyday life.

Why I am a Mormon

Because of the experiences and feelings that have been impressed upon me by the Holy Ghost, there is no other direction I could follow that would be truthful.

Personal Stories

Why/How do you share the gospel with your friends?

I would like everyone around me to feel the same peace and happiness that is in my life because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

How I live my faith

Going to church every Sunday is a priority in my life. I try to engage in daily conversation with my Father in Heaven. I want to be like our perfect predecessor, Jesus Christ.

Does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints endorse political parties?

Josh answered...

No. The church advocates principles and doctrine but does not endorse a certain political party or candidate. If you look in the United States Congress, you'll see members of the Mormon church sitting on both sides of the aisle from the current Senate Majority Leader to a 2008 presidential candidate.

However, the church is involved in the public arena when political initiatives intersect with principles of Christ's gospel. When this happens, the church will release a statement advocating certain principles and encouraging members to uphold these principles. This type of action often leads to confusion. Church support for an initiative for religious reasons should not be taken to imply support for a particular political party. These are two distinctly separate activities.
Emrol answered...

Members of the Church are encouraged to be actively involved in their communities. This involvement may even include political activity. The Church is made up members who hold differing political views, positions and opinions. While the Church will support any measure or position that will allow for the free practice of our religion, and the strengthening and supporting of families in general, it does not endorse any specific person involved in political activity, platform, or party.

Why did your church previously practice plural marriage (polygamy)?

Clayton answered...

Why did Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and Solomon practice plural marriage? Because God told them to. So why did Mormons practice polygamy? Because God commanded us to. There is nothing new about the concept of polygamy. It is only a tool that the Lord sees fit to put in place on his own time.

Any other reasons for it are God's reasons and the fact of the matter is that an all knowing, perfected being, who also happens to be the father of our spirits commanded that it should be done. It really all comes down to your faith in God.
