Hello!
My name is Shane, and I’m a crazy college student that has wild parties!

My name is influenced solely by the various video games and shows that involve father/son conflicts that I grew up with; my dad is OK. : )

Glad to be here!

Roseate Spoonbill wrote:*please.
Well it all started back in 1964 when Alfred Reese and all of his morman buddies went off on a wild monkey hunting excursion Smith circulated a written revelation that Independence, Missouri was to be the center place for the city of Zion.[15]
Though many of Smith's followers attempted to colonize Missouri
throughout the 1830s and Smith himself moved there in 1838, the church
faced political and military opposition from other Missouri settlers.
After a series of raids on Mormon settlements, the church formed its
own militia to defend its members and the Mormon War of 1838 ensued, culminating in the religion being expelled from the state under an Extermination Order signed by the governor of Missouri.
The church then established its new headquarters in Nauvoo, Illinois, a city they built on drained swampland by the Mississippi River, where Smith served as mayor. There, the church built a new temple, and thrived until Smith and his brother Hyrum, who was serving as assistant president and patriarch of the church, were killed by a mob in 1844.
After the murder of the Smiths, a succession crisis
ensued whereby a number of church leaders campaigned to lead the
church. The majority of adherents voted to accept the succession claims
presented by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, led by Brigham Young.
Their claim was based on a March 1844 meeting wherein Joseph committed
the "keys of the kingdom" on the twelve apostles with Young as their leader.

[edit] Western migration


After continued difficulties and persecution in Illinois, Young left Nauvoo in 1846 and led his followers to the Great Salt Lake Valley (then part of Mexico but by 1848 part of the United States). The group branched out in an effort to pioneer a large state to be called Deseret, eventually establishing colonies from Canada to present-day Mexico.
In 1850, the U.S. Congress dismissed the State of Deseret plan and
instead established a much smaller territory around the Great Salt Lake
named the Territory of Utah.
Young incorporated The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a
legal entity under the laws of the territory. He initially governed his
followers as a theocratic leader serving in both political and religious positions. He openly encouraged the practice of plural marriage. When this practice became known in Washington, D.C., the United States sent federal troops there in 1857, causing a confrontation known as the Utah War
which lasted from May 1857 until July 1858. In the end, negotiations
between the United States and the Latter-day Saint hierarchy resulted
in a full pardon for the Mormons, the transfer of Utah's governorship
from church President Brigham Young to non-Mormon Alfred Cumming, and the peaceful entrance of the army into Utah. Young still wielded significant political power as President of the Church.
Young was followed by other powerful members, who defiantly followed
the dictates of their faith in the face of U.S. efforts to outlaw
Mormon polygamous marriages. As the political power of the U.S. moved
west, the political and legal wrangling over the polygamy issue
escalated. Finally, after the church lost its case on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1890, church president Wilford Woodruff (successor to John Taylor) issued a Manifesto that officially suspended the practice.[16] Relations with the United States markedly improved after 1890, and especially after 1904, when church president Joseph F. Smith disavowed polygamy before the United States Congress and issued a "Second Manifesto"
calling for all illegal marriages in the church to cease. Although both
these statements were issued it has been estimated that 150 polygamous
marriages had been done by the church per year from 1890 to 1904, many
of which were performed in Mexico to alleviate the legal issues
associated with conducting polygamous marriages in the United States.[17] Eventually, the church adopted a policy of excommunicating its members found practicing polygamy, and today seeks to actively distance itself from “fundamentalist” groups still practicing polygamy.[18]

[edit] 20th century


During the twentieth century, the church grew substantially. In the year 2000, the church reported 60,784 missionaries[19], and global church membership stood at 11,068,861[19] As of 2007, membership had reached 13,193,999[20].
The church has played, at times, a prominent role in political matters, including opposition to MX Peacekeeper missile bases in Utah and Nevada,[21] opposing the Equal Rights Amendment,[22] opposing legalized gambling,[23] support of bans on same-sex marriage,[24] and opposition to legalized physician-assisted death.[25] Apart from issues that it considers to be ones of morality, however, the church maintains a position of political neutrality.[26]

[edit] Beliefs and practices


Main article: Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

See also: Mormonism and Christianity
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have some beliefs in common with Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions, though some significant differences exist. The church's core beliefs, circa 1842, are discussed in Articles of Faith (Latter Day Saints), and delineate the "first principles and ordinances of the gospel" as faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sin, and the gift of the Holy Ghost.[27] Perhaps the most distinct difference between the LDS church and other faiths is the belief that its founder Joseph Smith was a prophet who received a visitation from God (known as the First Vision), and was directed to produce the Book of Mormon, an additional volume of scripture to complement the Bible. A summary of the church's major distinctive beliefs and practices are discussed below.

throughout the 1830s and Smith himself moved there in 1838, the church
faced political and military opposition from other Missouri settlers.
After a series of raids on Mormon settlements, the church formed its
own militia to defend its members and the Mormon War of 1838 ensued, culminating in the religion being expelled from the state under an Extermination Order signed by the governor of Missouri.
The church then established its new headquarters in Nauvoo, Illinois, a city they built on drained swampland by the Mississippi River, where Smith served as mayor. There, the church built a new temple, and thrived until Smith and his brother Hyrum, who was serving as assistant president and patriarch of the church, were killed by a mob in 1844.
After the murder of the Smiths, a succession crisis
ensued whereby a number of church leaders campaigned to lead the
church. The majority of adherents voted to accept the succession claims
presented by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, led by Brigham Young.
Their claim was based on a March 1844 meeting wherein Joseph committed
the "keys of the kingdom" on the twelve apostles with Young as their leader.

[edit] Western migration


After continued difficulties and persecution in Illinois, Young left Nauvoo in 1846 and led his followers to the Great Salt Lake Valley (then part of Mexico but by 1848 part of the United States). The group branched out in an effort to pioneer a large state to be called Deseret, eventually establishing colonies from Canada to present-day Mexico.
In 1850, the U.S. Congress dismissed the State of Deseret plan and
instead established a much smaller territory around the Great Salt Lake
named the Territory of Utah.
Young incorporated The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a
legal entity under the laws of the territory. He initially governed his
followers as a theocratic leader serving in both political and religious positions. He openly encouraged the practice of plural marriage. When this practice became known in Washington, D.C., the United States sent federal troops there in 1857, causing a confrontation known as the Utah War
which lasted from May 1857 until July 1858. In the end, negotiations
between the United States and the Latter-day Saint hierarchy resulted
in a full pardon for the Mormons, the transfer of Utah's governorship
from church President Brigham Young to non-Mormon Alfred Cumming, and the peaceful entrance of the army into Utah. Young still wielded significant political power as President of the Church.
Young was followed by other powerful members, who defiantly followed
the dictates of their faith in the face of U.S. efforts to outlaw
Mormon polygamous marriages. As the political power of the U.S. moved
west, the political and legal wrangling over the polygamy issue
escalated. Finally, after the church lost its case on appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1890, church president Wilford Woodruff (successor to John Taylor) issued a Manifesto that officially suspended the practice.[16] Relations with the United States markedly improved after 1890, and especially after 1904, when church president Joseph F. Smith disavowed polygamy before the United States Congress and issued a "Second Manifesto"
calling for all illegal marriages in the church to cease. Although both
these statements were issued it has been estimated that 150 polygamous
marriages had been done by the church per year from 1890 to 1904, many
of which were performed in Mexico to alleviate the legal issues
associated with conducting polygamous marriages in the United States.[17] Eventually, the church adopted a policy of excommunicating its members found practicing polygamy, and today seeks to actively distance itself from “fundamentalist” groups still practicing polygamy.[18]

[edit] 20th century


During the twentieth century, the church grew substantially. In the year 2000, the church reported 60,784 missionaries[19], and global church membership stood at 11,068,861[19] As of 2007, membership had reached 13,193,999[20].
The church has played, at times, a prominent role in political matters, including opposition to MX Peacekeeper missile bases in Utah and Nevada,[21] opposing the Equal Rights Amendment,[22] opposing legalized gambling,[23] support of bans on same-sex marriage,[24] and opposition to legalized physician-assisted death.[25] Apart from issues that it considers to be ones of morality, however, the church maintains a position of political neutrality.[26]

[edit] Beliefs and practices


Main article: Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

See also: Mormonism and Christianity
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have some beliefs in common with Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant traditions, though some significant differences exist. The church's core beliefs, circa 1842, are discussed in Articles of Faith (Latter Day Saints), and delineate the "first principles and ordinances of the gospel" as faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sin, and the gift of the Holy Ghost.[27] Perhaps the most distinct difference between the LDS church and other faiths is the belief that its founder Joseph Smith was a prophet who received a visitation from God (known as the First Vision), and was directed to produce the Book of Mormon, an additional volume of scripture to complement the Bible. A summary of the church's major distinctive beliefs and practices are discussed below.
