My girlfriend wants me to become Mormon. (She's 16 and I'm 15). She says there's not that much commitment. Should I officially join her church? Why or why not?

Don't do it. You have to believe in Mormon theology to be a Mormon. Just don't.

Don't just accept a religion blindly. Do some research and then decide.
2011-10-07 3:00 am
It's no accident that "Mormon" and "moron" are so similar.
2011-10-07 2:59 am
Not a good idea. They're believing in things that aren't even scriptural.
2011-10-07 2:58 am
If you have to ask a website this, then don't do it lolz .. you're clearly not informed enough to make a decision like this for yourself :)
2011-10-07 3:01 am
Bad life choice.
2011-10-07 2:59 am
Before you make that commitment do some reading on Mormon History and culture. I particularly recommend books on Mountain Meadows.

That all depends on one thing really. How do you feel about magic underwear?

No.
Cuz you will end up in hell.

That is up to you. But I would say...do what YOU want to! Dont join something just to please a girl! That would be stupid. And about commitment...she is lying to you or she doesnt really know about the Saints. I think you could say that there is a lot of commitment to joining the LDS! You will have to go and witness for two years and it is MANDATORY! Do some research!
2011-10-07 2:58 am
Once you go Mormon, you become a bore, man.
2011-10-07 6:03 am
There's about as much commitment as there is knocking her up. But what guy in his right mind would want to do that either?
2011-10-07 5:05 am
No.
It's not what you think it is.

Just read the answers from the some of the strongest Mormon supporters on here. Do you really want to hang around with those a$$holes every Sunday for three hours? I know I wouldn't

if you believe Christ appeared in the new world at the same time as he appeared in israel then go for it... while your at it, you better also believe that the indigenous ppl of the americas were not intelligent enough to realize the gift of everlasting life with God and it took a crazy american to re-discover it...and that horses and chariots were in the new world....regardless that the archeological evidence doesn't support it. also, that its ok for a prophet to be wrong every now and then...and you have to ignore the words used in the book of mormon were not in use during the times that smith reports on. also that the american indians, who are supposed to be lost israelites, do not have any genetic markers for being semetic. and dont forget that the book of mormon contradicts the bible (and mormon doctrine) on several occasions... if this doesnt bother you, then go ahead.
2011-10-07 3:05 am
If you do , you , and your girlfriend , can't do it any more
2011-10-07 3:04 am
Sometimes you need to look inward for answers, not yahoo answers.
2011-10-07 3:04 am
NO!!! My in-laws are mormon and I'm christian and I believe that you should not change for anyone but yourself. If you believe it then that's a different story but don't do it just for her. why doesn't she change her beliefs for you?
2011-10-07 3:04 am
No. They are a cult and you will not be able to get away from them. They will force you to pay them ten percent of whatever you make for the rest of your life. They worship a false god, and a false prophet. Get a book on mormonism from a christian bookstore before you agree to do anything. Good luck.

There is a HUGE commitment when you become Mormon.
It is one of the most commitment oriented churches.
You should NEVER join the church because someone else wants you to. In fact, the missionaries wouldnt even encourage it.
You need to be ready and willing to make certain covenants and commitments at baptism.
All you Mormon bashers, you are just so sad. This is what we Mormons should be looking at and thinking we are missing by being Mormon? Acting like immature jerks twds others?
Everytime mormon bashers post on here I just have to laugh at why they think their mean spirited hateful little comments would make anyone want to be more like them.

No, especially if you don't believe in it.
Mormons also don't drink alcohol.

2011-10-07 3:07 am
It depends on what you already believe, and how much "belief" means to you. Myself, I think of Mormonism as having the most obvious mistakes in it. I mean, I'm used to the Bible, b/c it was written so long ago, before people knew much, but what excuse do the Mormans have?
You can always wait until later. Here's a why-not. Imagine you break up with your girlfriend. Do you think you will stay a Mormon? If not, then don't become one now.
AND lastly, YOU study it more before you decide. You'll always benefit from knowing more than you did. And you might discover you really LOVE what they say!!!
Never do anything serious in life just because someone else wants you to. Notice I'm saying "Just Because" someone else wants you to.

The things people will do to get accepted by someone they are attracted to never cease to amaze me.
And no, I'm not blaming you. That would be hypocritical. I once moved to a place 3000 miles away from the area I love, on almost no money, for a woman.
But if you don't believe in a religion for its own sake, you shouldn't join it.
Wanting sex isn't a theological argument, and besides, if she's true to what she's saying are her beliefs, she won't do it with you.

NO....you are far to young to make any sort of life changing decision.
There is nothing Bible based in anything mormon, it is a false cult that leads people down a wrong path to their own planet they populate with spirit babies; claiming they are a new version of Christianity.
run away as fast as you can.

NO. Not unless you want to believe a religion based upon a fairy tale. Here are just two reasons not to believe the mormon story. Their book, the book of mormon, says that the American Indians are the descendants of the ancient tribes of Israel. Dna evidence show that American indians are in no way related to Middle Eastern people.
The second reason is that the book of Mormon speaks of great battles with chariots and so forth in America. Guess what? There has Never been one shred of archaeological evidence for any of these battles, or anything else discussed in the book of Mormon.
What the heck, here is a third reason. The original 1830 edition of the book of mormon had like hundreds of grammatical errors. Well, that's ok, except for the fact that every word was allegedly translated by an angel. Angels don't make grammatical mistakes.
And here's a fourth reason. Jacob 2:24 in the book of mormon says polygamy is wrong. It says God is against polygamy. Well guess what? Many mormons throughout history have been polygamists. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IRREFUTABLE. Nobody can say that the book of mormon does not say polygamy is wrong. Nobody can say mormons have not been polygamists.
There are many more reasons, enough to fill a book. But I think Dna and archaeological evidence should make ANY THINKING PERSON REALIZE what a lie the whole mormon story is founded on.

There is a lot of commitment involved in Mormonism. Make sure it is what you want before you get baptized. There is no compulsion, but you will feel bad later that you jumped into something that you didn't really feel committed to. Develop a praying relationship with God and then ask God what He wants you to do.
I am a Mormon myself but I have seen too many people join the Church, dump it, and then turn hostile against it. It's usually different when people have the faith and commitment first.

If you think giving into her wishes will get you into her pants - think again.....

If you're just doing it to impress a girl, no. it's a BIG commitment. Talk to the missionaries, go to church, see what it is.
2011-10-07 4:56 am
If you are just joining because your Girlfriend wants you to, then I would have to say no.
If you are going to take the time to pray and ask God about the Church and the Book of Mormon then, I would say yes.

2011-10-07 3:19 am
YES
Not many smart people responded to this question, so far only Ethan Brost, Aladdino, lovingman and famof4 (now also cadisneygirl and Bridge) really said something worth listening to.
Anyways my friend, first of all, ignore the blatant lies of the fools here who mock the LDS church. It's a fantastic religion and the people are generally really kind (and severely misunderstood).
And secondly, what your girlfriend said is wrong. It takes a LOT of commitment.

Sorry dude but being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a big commitment. It's not just church on Sunday, it's a lifestyle. You only want to join if you have a testimony that the church is true.
