Mainstream Mormon theology
See also: Beliefs and practices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Mainstream Mormonism is defined by the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Members of the LDS Church consider their top leaders to be prophets and Apostles, and are encouraged to question them on matters of theology, by means of self-study of the Book of Mormon and the Bible. Self-prayer is encouraged as well. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is by far the largest branch of Mormonism. It has continuously existed since succession crisis of 1844 that split the Latter Day Saint movement after the death of founder Joseph Smith, Jr.

Partly for public relations and proselytizing reasons, the church seeks to distance itself from other branches of Mormonism, and particularly from the practice of polygamy. The LDS Church practiced polygamy in the 1800s. However, the church abandoned that practice around the turn of the 20th century when male members began using the excuse to marry much younger females. Today, the church maintains a degree of orthodoxy within the church by excommunicating or disciplining its members who take positions or engage in practices viewed as apostasy. For example, the church excommunicates its members who practice polygamy, or who adopt the beliefs and practices of Mormon fundamentalism. The church also may excommunicate or discipline those within the church who openly oppose the church's top leadership, which is viewed as a sign of apostasy.

I personally know two "higher up" members of the ISO and they are the most manipulative, self-serving, bureaucratic, bullying, proselytizing, devoid of morality or any type of principles, two-faced lying snake bitches I've ever met in my entire life.

They are humans, you shouldn't be surprised.

I'm not an ISO guy myself, but these things can still be a good learning/networking opportunity.

^^Trudat, if that's your cup O tea, it's probably a good deal. It's just funny how the biggest preachers always are the biggest hypocrites. I just had a bad experience bc I have to work with these two dipshits and they've done all kinds of shit including suing my place of business and charging me with "racial and/or political discrimination" for not hiring one of them. At least I won't recognize these people as the spokespeople for "the movement" and let them cloud my judgment of what might be a reasonable ideology.
