Misinformed

Many of you who bother to read the blog are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (AKA "The Mormons"). But for those of you who are not, you may have heard many things in the news lately that are derogatory or false about the church I belong to. Here is a link to a website that has information about our church as well as the link to the press releases that the church puts out on a regular basis. As always, to my friends of other faiths or non-believers, I'm happy to answer any questions that I can.

http://www.mormon.org/ for info

http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/news-releases-stories for press releases.

Over the years I have heard some STRANGE things about my religion. Most of them have made me giggle because they were so out in left field. Some just leave me scratching my head. Here are a few I'd like to share that struck my funnybone:
Yes, we can drink milk.
Yes, we can eat chocolate.
Yes, we can dance (some of us are not real coordinated, but that's a personal problem, not a religious one).
No, we do not wear special bathing suits to get pregnant.
No, we do not worship seagulls or locusts.
and my personal favorite:
No, we DO NOT physically consumate our marriage on top of the alters in the temple, and DEFINITELY NOT in front of a group of people.
