I'm not sure if this would be the right spot to talk about religion or not... so if not mods pls move to correct location.

I want to know about any expierences either about or from anyone mormon. I haven't seen too many good things regarding the religion and I want a more objective view of them.

Here's what I've noticed so far, please correct me if I've been misinformed, etc.. (also please forgive the spelling mistakes)

1) For the longest time caffeine of any kind was not allowed if your mormon. Then about 5-10 years ago I heard that the leader of the mormon religion had a vision and said that either coca-cola or pepsi (can't remember which) was now ok to drink. As it turned out the mormon church had invested a substantial amount of money into the stocks of that company.

2) A friend of mine informed me of this story. A friend of his lived in a neighborhood where most of the people living there were from the mormon religion. As it turned out the mormons did everything from harrasment to making it unbearable to live there. They basicly wanted the non-mormon out of the neighborhood. My friend being the non-judgemental type later in life was invited to come to the mormon church and while there asked some of the mormon people what the deal was regarding this story. They just smirked as if they did the right thing in dealing with the non-mormon.

3) I went out on a date with a girl that was mormon. Before she would accept a second date she basicly informed me that I had to become mormon. She was all ready to send the missionaries to my house to do it.

4) I've been informed by a few people now that women in the mormon religion are meaningless. They are only vessels to produce more kids.

5) The more kids that you have in this life the bigger world your god of in the "afterlife"

6) non-mormon people are not allowed to goto any mormon weddings.

This is all I can come up with at the moment.

I'm looking for comments, more stories, or anything. I'd like a better understanding of the religion than what I've got so far.
