Welcome to WhyMormons.net
Thanks for stopping by.
What you'll find here: Articles that explore a few obscure and fascinating pieces of Mormon history and culture, with special emphasis on:
- How The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has changed and evolved its worship and temple practices;
- Evolving Mormon views on sexuality (hardly a complete exploration);
- Transcripts of behind-the-scenes LDS missionary discipline for masturbation (along with the recordings);
- Interesting factoids.
- Articles that explore how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints markets its religious model to gain converts;
- Fun, humorous, and perhaps irreverent satirical pieces that poke fun at some of the sillier things in Mormonism;
- And anything else I find time to add here and there along the way. Nothing formal.
Nothing to prove and nothing to sell: This site can't possibly explore every detail or discussion about Mormonism. There are far more qualified sites that explore the positives and negatives of Mormonism. This site merely aims to shed some light on some obscure parts of Mormonism. I toss it out there for you to play it out. I've done a lot of homework over the years, and if you come across something that tickles your curiosity bone, I encourage you to go do the homework! If you've exhausted your resources and can't find a reference for something you've read on the site, feel free to contact me about it.
I have none of life's answers and make no claims to know anything more than what my life experience has taught me. I have a natural tendency to explore, question, and investigate.
Whether you're joining the LDS church, exploring the LDS church, seeking to strengthen your own personal convictions about the LDS church, or leaving it all behind, the only advice I can give is:
Be Mormon, Be non-Mormon, Be ex-Mormon, Be You.
