For those of you who watched the PBS special on Mormons- I would just liek to get this clear- PBS told exactly this:
THE TRUTH BUT NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH.

What with me being a member of the Mormon church, I've come to a conclusion that roughly 90% of it is understandable [for me, personally], and the amount that is in fact believable, is all up to the person who's being preached to. So no one can just say that the Mormon religion is all wrong, unless they're a complete idiot i.e. a jerk. Because it's impossible to argue someone's testimony, to deny someone else's truth, or to just hate a Word Of God.

Living as an LDS most of my life, [LDS=Latter Day Saint(s)] I've noticed that the youth of LDS is a lot more difficult then the adults.
No, I'm not saying the old people are the only nice people. It's just that, in ANY church or any place, there is bound to be clicks. There are preppy Mormons, Geeky Mormons, Jocky Mormons- you name it! OS how can someone not expect the young to be perfect in the LDS church.

But for me at my own Church/Ward, [Ward=Smaller division(s) for each church to attend with/based on living areas] the adults are always so nice! And not an annoying Beaver Cleaver, goody-two-shoes kind of nice! They don't act like they're old, over the hill, or hopelessly lame. They act nice and perky and all around- Cool. They're so inviting but just the right amount, ya know? I actually enjoy almost all the elders that I see at my church (allthough I rarely go).

I just thought it'd be nice to give people an HONEST insight to the LDS/Mormon religion. 3nodding
