Mormons celebrate 200 years
by oldflame injoseph smith founded the church in 1830, 10 years after he claimed to experience a vision of god and jesus in a grove of trees near his family home in palmyra, n.y. he also said an angel named moroni led him to a set of buried gold plates that contained the ancient records of christ's dealings with the inhabitants of the americas.
smith's translation of the plates became known as the book of mormon, the text on which mormons base their religion.. smith's original church had just six members, mostly his family, and only 5,000 copies of the book of mormon were published at first.
he sent out a handful of missionaries.. today mormonism has more than 12 million members half of them outside the united states.

Before or after
by oldflame ini am curious because i was never baptised.
i know i was lied to before baptism but i was wondering if it got worse after being baptised.
i would like to know if things changed in doctrine or knowledge after you were baptised.

The GB is prejudice against women
by oldflame init only stands to reason for this thought because if a woman is in an abusive relationship and told to grin and bear it, while on the other hand teaching that they are supposed to give unto ceaser what is ceasers right ?
i understand that it means to obey all laws too right ?
well if they were not prejdice then the abused woman should be allowed to report such actions to her local authorities and be able to leave that relationship without any reprocussions from it.
