Reacting to CRAZY RUMORS about Mormons

[@saragarn4739]

Someone told my Mom on her mission that their priest told them that if they even looked at a Mormon they would catch on fire. The funniest part for me is that they were looking my Mom in the eye when they said this to her.

My seminary teacher taught me that folding our arms when praying is just to show respect and not being busy with our hands, and bowing our head is to show humility and unworthiness before the lord, and closing our eyes is just to make sure we are not distracted and are focusing on praying

[@PetBunnyDebbie]

I wouldn't exactly say we're showing "unworthiness." As literal children of our Heavenly Father we are of infinite worth. Everything else though, I completely agree with as a good description of why we pray by folding our arms, closing our eyes and bowing our heads.

[@seans5289]

Debbie Bunny: the thing is, you aren’t worthy. That’s one of the fundamental principles of Christianity. Otherwise, you don’t need Jesus.

I would say the most logical reason is that it keeps the little kids from punching each other during the prayer. But that doesn't mean they won't use their elbows.

I think I may know where the carrot one came from...a man in one of my wards said when he served his mission in Japan the word for "personage" was similar to the word "carrot". Some new missionaries had a hard time when reciting the first vision and said it as,"two carrots descended out of heaven and one carrot pointed to the other..." But I wonder how a lot of English speaking peoples heard this.

[@mindofthelion712]

"Personage/figure" would probably translate as "person-shape" (ninjin), which in Japanese is homophonous with "carrot".

[@victoriagledhill5872]

Hahaha that's funny

[@SuttonShimai]

"ningen" is person, "ninjin" is carrot. However, "jin" on the end of the names of countries indicates a person from that country, like amerikajin, furansujin, roshiajin, nihonjin, etc., so it's understandable that a person just learning the language would accidentally use "ninjin" instead of "ningen" to say "person."

My understanding about the mafia bit is that, supposedly, about 20-40 years ago in Moscow missionaries converted the son of a man who, at the time, was the kingpin of a major gang, so he declared that all LDS missionaries in Moscow would be under his agents' protection.

[@KevlarX2]

When I was on my mission, we had a lady that kept telling us that our church had a Mormon mafia and we would whack anyone who left the church. LOL!

[@scottb4509]

@@corybritton1804 Sorry but you are only viewing the situation with the Danites from a narrow and vague understanding. While the Danite group was technically a group of LDS members, it was never a sanctioned LDS group. Joseph Smith even rejected the connection many created between the church and the group made up of church members, calling the group a violent and evil "secret combination, and ultimately excommunicating any and all devoted members of the Danite group from the LDS church. historically speaking the group began as a vigilante fraternity, created with the design of keeping watch and providing protection against the heinous an continuous persecutions against the members of the church. but the fraternity quickly grew into a group hell-bent on enacting revenge against those doing the persecuting. the Danite group never whacked members who left the church, that part is wholly wrong. but quite oppositely sought to protect the members against antagonists and violent mobs trying to hurt the members of the church. Historians generally agree that while initially Smith approved of the formation of the group, he likely was not privy to their plans or actions, and once he became aware quickly denounced the group and took actions against those in the group. Ultimately to believe that the Danites were an LDS organization is not correct, nor is a belief that that organization was a "mafia-like" group which "whacked" dissenters.

I've literally had people ask to feel my head to see if I had horns after finding out I'm a Mormon. A very old, insane rumor; that we become...er...intimate...with each other on altars in the temple. The Marriott rumor though, there may be some truth to that. Marriott himself, the founder of the hotel chain was a Mormon. I was told years ago by several other members that couples who were getting married in the temple could stay one night in a Marriott hotel for free. Most people who lived in the Midwest and East used to have to travel very far in those days to get to a temple. I also heard that the Marriott hotel has both the Book of Mormon and the Holy Bible in each room. I hope that one is true!

That is true and seer stones as they were called were also used in the Bible by some prophets to translate, see beyond the veil or for other religious purposes.

I think the folded arms thing is an appeal to early Christianity. Up until about 1100AD all Christians prayed with crossed arms. Somewhat unrelated, but it's why pretzels are twisted.

[@scottb4509]

I've heard an alternative rendition of the "praying to carrots" rumor, but it was actually metaphorical, rather than literal. They said that "Mormons worship carrots", and the 'carrots' concept comes from a quote about religion in general being designed around, "dangling carrots in front, while threatening the whip from behind". The idea was that carrots are rewards and the whip was punishments, and that Mormons worship the idea of gaining rewards. It was in a way a slam on Mormons as being greedy and only doing things out of the potential for reward, rather than out of a love for God. the "praying to carrots" rumor may have been a corrupted or telephone game result of that kind of original sentiment. obviously it is not true, but because of he fact that the Mormon church views the degrees of glory as stages of inheritance and reward from God granted according to the deeds done in the flesh (Romans 2:6, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 4:5, 1 Peter 1:17, Revelation 20:12, Psalms 62:12, Proverbs 24:12, Colossians 3:25, Proverbs 11:31, 1 Corinthians 3:8, etc.), I can see how some may have thought that. especially since LDS scripture expounds on those of the Bible on this topic, even proclaiming that all blessings are gained through obedience (D&C 130:20-21), therefore, any obedience offered is supposedly done to gain the blessing which that law is associated with. Thus, they assume, the obedience was for the reward and not out of love.

Gun control is a big topic of discussion nowadays (and maybe reform can help, maybe it can't, I don't know) but, in my personal opinion, I think the long-term solution has to be to strengthen the family unit.

Some missionaries have made that mistake in telling the Sacred Grove event - and accidentally say that in answer to Joseph Smith's prayer 2 carrots descended from heaven. Can you guess which one is which? Ninjin = carrot and Ningen (g as in good) = humans (or beings). So I can understand why that misunderstanding might be. Personally I never had this particular problem - but there were two words that I mixed up, so never ever asked a woman a certain question. Shufu = housewife, and Shofu (long o) = prostitute. So never asked a woman if she was a housewife, for fear that I would use the wrong word - and did not want that to happen.

The dead bodies myth probably comes from the fact that Mormons baptize the dead. I know that Mormons don't take a dead body and baptize it. They take a living person to act as the... body(?) to be baptized. They themselves aren't the ones being baptized, but are used as conduits to the dead. But you can see where that myth comes from at least. The Princess Bride

Most of those rumors have been around for years. I’m old enough to be all y’all’s grandpa. And yes the Utah Carrot Sappers do weird things.

The person who said you have to hav children to get to heaven was thinking of the flds. Members of the flds have to have at least 7 wives and 7 kids or something like that
