Mormon.Org

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as launched a media initiative. What does this mean? I'll tell you! The have created a website called Mormon.org that has profiles of LDS Members and it gives an overview of the missionary lessons, a list of our values and pretty much talks about the members of the church. As part of the media initiative there will also be 30 sec commercials on many major networks on tv as well has billboards.  What is the purpose of this? Contrary to what some might think it is not directly nor indirectly related to the elections coming up. In case you have been living under a rock and didn't know that there are 2 LDS candidates in the upcoming elections. That just happens to be going on at the same time as this. The purpose of this website and the media initiative is :
  • Clear up any misconceptions people may have about the Church and its members
  • Help people to learn about the Church and its members
  • Begin to learn the basic teachings of the Church
  • Learn how to locate and visit a ward
  • Ask questions of their friends and neighbors that are members of the CHurch
  • Request a free item such as a Book of Mormon or Bible
As members we are asked to:
  • Become familar with the content on mormon.org
  • Create a mormon.org profile
  • Answer questions and direct those interested in learning more about the Church to the full time missionaries.
  • Encourage family and friends to visit mormon.org
I think its great that the Church is using the internet and other technology to help spread the Gospel. I know that many people will be brought to the Church through this effort. This is truly inspired by our loving Heavenly Father to help spread the blessing of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. To the left is a button to my profile. It says "We know God loves us and We love our Family... Learn what we believe."
