The Death of Joseph Smith
(the guy started the cult in the early 1800's) Joseph Smith was killed by an angry mob while he was in jail for ordering the destruction of a newspaper office. The newspaper reported that he was married to 8 already married women at the same time and his plans to take over the US government. Joseph Smith left 33 widows, one as young as 15 and eleven that were already married to other men.
- Multiple Worlds and Multiple Gods: Mormons believe that God created multiple worlds and each world has people living on it. They also believe that multiple Gods exist but each has their own universe. We are only subject to our God and if we obtain the highest level of heaven we can become gods ourselves.
- In LDS doctrine there are three heavens: the Celestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and Telestial Kingdom. The Celestial is the highest, where God and the ones who followed his law reside. The Terrestrial is the middle, where people who followed the Law of Moses reside. The Telestial is the lowest, where the ones who followed carnal law reside.
- While tithes are not uncommon among religion, rarely are they mandatory. LDS theology states that in order to make it to the highest kingdom of heaven, you must pay a full and honest tithe.

Mormonism is the
religion practiced by Mormons, and is the predominant religious tradition of
the Latter Day Saint movement. This movement was founded by Joseph Smith, Jr.
beginning in the 1820s as a form of Christian primitivism. During the 1830s and
1840s, Mormonism gradually distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism.
Mormonism today represents the new, non-Protestant faith taught by Smith in the
1840s. After Smith's death, most Mormons followed Brigham Young to the Rocky
Mountains as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Other branches of Mormonism include Mormon fundamentalism, which seeks to
maintain practices and doctrines such as polygamy that were discontinued by the
LDS Church, and various other small independent denominations.[1]
The term Mormon is
derived from the Book of Mormon, one of the faith's religious texts. Based on
the name of that book, early followers of founder Joseph Smith, Jr. were called
Mormons, and their faith was called Mormonism. The term was initially considered
pejorative,[2] but is no longer considered so by Mormons (although other terms
such as Latter-day Saint, or LDS, are generally preferred).[3]
Mormonism is a form
of Christian primitivism that shares a common set of beliefs with the rest of
the Latter Day Saint movement, including use of, and belief in, the Bible, as
well as other religious texts including the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants.
It differs from other Latter Day Saint movement traditions (such as the
Community of Christ) in that it also accepts the Pearl of Great Price as part
of its scriptural canon, and has a history of teaching eternal marriage,
eternal progression, and plural marriage (although the LDS Church had abandoned
the practice by the early 20th century). Cultural Mormonism includes a
lifestyle promoted by the Mormon institutions, and includes cultural Mormons
who identify with the culture, but not necessarily the theology. -Wikipedia

Kolob is a star or
planet described in Mormon scripture. Reference to Kolob is found in the Book
of Abraham, a work published by Joseph Smith, Jr., the founder of the Latter
Day Saint movement. According to this work, Kolob is the heavenly body nearest
to the throne of God. While the Book of Abraham refers to Kolob as a
"star", it also refers to planets as stars, and therefore, some LDS
commentators consider Kolob to be a planet. Other Latter Day Saints (commonly
referred to as Mormons) consider Kolob to be a Christian metaphor.
Kolob has never been
identified with any modern astronomical object and is not recognized as an
ancient concept by modern Egyptology. Kolob is rarely discussed in modern LDS
religious contexts, but it is periodically a topic of discussion in criticism
of Mormonism. The idea also appears within LDS culture, and there is a LDS hymn
about it. Kolob is also the inspiration for the planet Kobol within the
Battlestar Galactica universe, created by Glen A. Larson, a Mormon. -Wikipedia
