Portal talk:Latter-day Saints

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Hello everybody

I have created this portal. I think this is a very nice portal. I´m NOT a Mormon but I created this portal because I think that on wikipedia should be more portals about western religions.DAde 21:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured content

We should have a list of featured and good content to feature here, this is what I can think of right now:

• Mormon handcart pioneers
• Early life of Joseph Smith, Jr.

I also think it would be a good idea to write content about the 'Doctrine and Covenants" and the "Pearl of Great Price" which are other books the Mormons follow, or shall i say, the original "Book of Mormon".

I don't see any of the controversial aspect of Mormonism that is covered on most other controversial religions, ie: Plural Wives, Joseph Smith marrying other mens wives, history and conviction as a glass looker, anti-banking company failure, Book of Mormon claims of Native American ancestry with Israel, BH Roberts controversial concerns, letter from Smithsonian Institute about BofM unaccepted as historical document, etc. Does this belong on another page? Do we need a separate section for this? Its not complete without it. Preceeding signed by: Bnaur Talk 04:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

This is just a portal. You'll find all of that and more covered in the various Latter Day Saint movement articles. Don't forget, though, that Wikipedia strives for a neutral point of view, which includes avoiding giving undue weight to sidebar issues. If you're looking for a pro-Mormon tract, you probably won't find it. If you're looking for an anti-Mormon tract, you probably won't find that either. --TrustTruth (talk) 21:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Book of Mormon navbox

We really need a BofM navbox to organize articles like Historicity of the Book of Mormon, Origin of the Book of Mormon, Archaeology and the Book of Mormon, Linguistics and the Book of Mormon, Three Witnesses, Eight Witnesses, Book of Mormon, etc. --TrustTruth (talk) 17:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
