Thanks for that link. I was born a Hindu in India, so never heard of Mormons until I met one in the 1960’s in Chicago who was a colleague of mine in the engineering office. He was very straight laced, always polite and well dressed. Did not drink and as far as I know had only 1 wife. The only other Mormon I have personally known worked in our accounting office as comptroller. He was very friendly, with a cheerful personality and popular chap in our company of about 600 people. Our owner was Jewish, another outstanding individual. The owner knew every employee by their first name! So my impression from personally knowing just these two individuals is that Mormons are pretty good people.

I did not find answer to my question, did the Mormons ever stone women to death similar to practiced in the middle-east even today. Did the Mormons behead any non-Mormons?

Why would you want to defend a perversion and a sick cult that you are not even familiar with?

Why not find out more about their relationship to your new country before you start fighting for them?

It is sweet of you to say nice things about people you’ve known.

i don’t know much about Mormonism, but I don’t think they ever stoned anyone or beheaded people, but I do have the impression there was a good deal of corruption back in the day.

OK, I have that impression from reading “A Study in Scarlett” the first Sherlock Holmes book, so it’s probably a little hyperbolic.

I know that my young daughter and I used to take quite a long bus ride home every day. The only time anyone ever got up to give us seats were two Mormon missionary guys. This was in Jersey City.

"Did the Mormons behead any non-Mormons?"

Google "Mormon blood atonement"

Let me help you: see http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Meadows_massacre
I didn’t know about this until a friend, who’s a descendant of one of the few Christian survivors, went to the dedication of a monument and was apologized to by modern Mormons.
