KraylorDePanthro So what is known of Mormonism? I recently spent some time with some of the Elders (missionaries) and a friend of mine who went out to Cali to be in a band, and came back a Mormon. She seems rather more happy now and fufilled. I've been listening to them, and much of what they say makes sense. I've also heard some other things from other people so I figured I'd see what the general consensus is. They say they are Christians, as it's the Church of Jesus Christ (of Latter Day Saints) and the last part is because they believe it's the end times. Thoughts,comments, suggestions? He must really love jesus there is such this as a Mormon that truly loves jesus.
The dark side to Mormonism is that the story that they think is real is all myth.
My heart aches for the people that are lied to.

Priestley zz1000zz Osaka_DFA Well I've noticed is that some Mormons, Jehovah witness and Catholics don't always believe in what there church believes in, most of them have surprisingly open minds and hearts. By definition, if a member of those groups does not believe in the teachings of their church, they are not a member of that group. Right, and this would be demonstrated by excommunication or some such behaviour of exclusion from that group.
But it's not always the case. Language isn't fixed and definitions can change (not overnight, but slowly). The same thing can be said for the beliefs of certain individuals in that collective. Such individuals may still regard themselves a one of the collective by their own definition but not regarded by the other individuals as such. Who is right in that case?
Before I answer that, I should clarify. Disagreement on minor issues often does not mean one is no longer a member of that group. I was referring to a particular set of disagreements, though that was not particularly clear in my post.
In the question of who decides who is actually a member of a group, it is the group who decides.
