Not to disparage, just for information,Jane.
We all hold to certain things we have been told about FLDS ( whom seem to be extremist) and what we have seen recently in the news of ppl who attend this of the regular LDS.
I'm in the deep South but I do not know any Mormons, nor Jehovah Witnesses. We have those here I'm sure but we are mostly Baptist, Methodist, Church of Christ, and Pentecostals, with many Non- Denominalists !
If you don't mind sharing.
I’m totally happy to share! I got lots of friends in other denominations too- hubby is a Baptist, my best friends are Calvery Chapel and Methodist, etc.
FLDS are a very different bunch than mainstream LDS Christians and I feel way closer to Methodists than FLDS. Differences included different books of scripture, major differences in beliefs, and practice. Example: I wear normal clothes, pic in a normal mainstream house. And theologically extremely anti polygamy and underage marriage.
Also have zero in common with JW.
Ok.
I really do not know the difference of church structure.
I remember some things brought up during the trial of the murder of Travis Alexander, the Ruby Franke / Jodi Hildebrandt case ,the crazy Sister wives show ect.
If you'd rather not discuss these practices outside of your belief in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, that's ok too.
Thank you.
Sister Wives aren’t LDS Christians (we are anti polygamy) and everything on reality tv is… well it’s not actually reality. Rest of the list are also major crazy and not behaving the way one should.
I’m totally game talking about any practice. What would you like me to talk about?
For routine religious practice, we have church Sunday morning. This week after main service we also hand Sunday School, currently going through Hebrews. I try to keep up with reading during the week on my own, but admittedly life gets busy it can be hit/miss. Kids have youth group activities during the week.
For a special thing this week, we’re doing a big clothing exchange on Saturday — bring a bunch of used stuff to the church to donate, and pick up anything you’d like for free (regardless of whether you donated or are a church member). It’s a great time to clean the closet out and perform some service. I’m going to spend a few hours later this week helping with the logistics.
