The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints*

Anyway, about me and the Church:

• I have been a member of the Church since April, 1986.
• I served as a missionary for the Brasil Florianópolis mission for six months, when I was sent home due to illness. (I speak nearly fluent Portuguese)
• I am currently a member of the Sandridge ward of the Roy, UT, Central Stake.
• Yes, I do believe in all this "mormon" stuff. I have what we call a "testimony", which is the same as a courtroom testimony, in that I have witnessed substantial proof to know that God lives, Jesus Christ is His son, that the Book of Mormon is the word of God, as is the Bible, and that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God. If any of this intrigues you, I invite you to go to the official site of the Church here.
• I also believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true church on the face of the earth. Yes, this is a very bold claim, but it is a true one. There are many religions that do many good things, and faith in Jesus Christ and God the Father is the first fundamental point of salvation, but it is not the only one. There is much more to be found and learned, and the Church of Jesus Christ is where to look for it.
• One last point: I don't have 15 wives; anyone who does is not a member of the Church (I do have one fiance, though).

Oddly enough, one of my hobbies is collecting misconceptions, myths, and outright lies about the "Mormon" church. Some of my favorite are:

• "Mormons have horns and tails, and go to their temples regularly to saw them off."
• "Mormons have an intricate network of tunnels connecting their temples so that they can travel to different cities to kidnap young girls to be their extra wives."
• "Mormons worship golden calves."
• "Mormons are plotting a gradual worldwide conquest, and are using missionaries to gather delicate information on each nation of the world and how each would be most easily conquered."

I have but one thing to say about the above: each item is total and complete malarkey (in modern vernacular, it's all bogus). If, however, you have a question about any the above, or another rumor you heard about "them Mormons", you can e-mail me at: cbruce1978@geocities.com.

Also, if you have heard some good rumors, misconceptions, myths, or outright lies about the LDS Church, please send them to the e-mail address above. I hope to make a top-ten list of the most ridiculous.
