I am LDS. What seem to be the questions? Sorry if I was too late, just if anyone got any other questions go ahead and ask me. I was reading some of the posts and I couldn't help but nod at most of them.
NOTE: Just because I am still a member does't mean I know it all, I might not know all the answers but I will answer as much as I can and if there is something I can't answer I can always ask another member. I don't actually spend my 24/7 lifetime leaning to the church, but I do go on daily Sundays and do what I have to do to an extent that I agree and decide to follow certain rules. I am 19 and I have been a member ever since I was 8.

Before I take any other questions I'll say a couple of things. First of all, what is a Christian? What do we believe in? Ask yourself those questions then you can decide if we are Christians or not.
Anything that we do in the church, ask members to do, or perform... NOTHING is mandatory, everything that is done in church is by choice, if you choose not to then that's as far as it goes.

Now, Polygamy. I know that nobody in here will ever understand unless you are actually a member of the church and know the story of Joseph Smith, other than that, all I have to say to you guys about it is that it was a law that was used as a good cause(Something called "Spreading the good seed"). This law was only applied to the Prophet of the church, and no other member, other than that it was considerated for for an actual member to be part of it, but only if it was necessary. But after some time, since it was a law, some of the members started taking it in consideration for themselves and used it for their own desire and wants, and since it was getting out of hand and it was no longer used for a good cause, the church banned it and never brought it back. Other members that still decided to do it and continued on performing this were excommunicated(Banned from the religion). If you guys want to know more let me know, right now I wont be able to be here, but I will get back to this thread asap. If you guys don't like my timing, sorry but I can't be here all day long.

Any questions? Feel free.

Edit: Also the name is not Mormon, it is actually LDS(Latter Day Saints). We only have the name Mormons because other people decided to call us Mormons due to our book's name a very long time ago. And no, The Book Of Mormon is not our Bible, The book of Mormon is the Book of Mormon. We believe that Jesus not only came to the middle east, but also in America, which is where the Book of Mormon comes from. Yes we believe in the Bible, the Bible or the Book of Mormon cannot be separated, they come in hand to hand together(They in a way help each other out).
