1. Jesus was really Lucifer's brother in the spirit world, and it was only due to a "heavenly council" vote that Jesus became our redeemer instead of Satan!

I've experienced the fact that having one spouse is a really great thing at first. As for being ganged up on by more than one wife during some discussion? Fortunately they were not all mine, so any extras went home after.

True, but the same is true for most churches. Not sharing in the "lets trash Mormon's" stuff (not my church, so of course I disagree with some beliefs, but that is a different discussion), but just saying...

If you want the real champion group in that regard, it would be the Mennonites. After every hurricane, Tornado, etc.... you will see them out in force, sometimes Old Order Amish as well (though they tend to stay more local, sometimes the young men will go with a group). They give not only goods, but leave their own fields (tended by a skeleton crew) to help others. A lot of folks may not realize how much, if they are not directly impacted, because they disdain publicity, specifically avoid getting their pictures in the paper and such.

Mormons do a great deal, but like a lot of churches, they tend to ask more in return than the Mennonites ever do, even subtly.
