Hi, Cynthia :) I'm a member of the LDS church. I think the major difference between Mormons and JWs is that Mormons read and study from the Book of Mormon (in addition to the Old T and New T), which is another Testament of Jesus Christ that was translated by Joseph Smith. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet (a prophet is someone who is directed by God to lead and instruct His children). Both are Christian religions that recognize that Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and made it possible for us to return to our Father in Heaven. I do know as an LDS member that Mormons love and livethe Gospel of Jesus Christ: they support and uplift those around them, they read the scriptures, they pray as families, they honor the Sabbath day (Sunday :) ), they follow and live the commandments as presented by Jesus Christ, chiefly being to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. You would definitely be accepted, tattoos and all :)
Molly did a wonderful job explaining the high points. Come Sundays at 9.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
