Let's try to keep this at least semi-civilized, please?
Vicious arguments, sure. Blatant insults, no.

I appreciate your curiosity, but this is something very personal and sacred. I took offence a bit too quickly (sorry mm) when I should have taken the chance to explain.

The answer yes we do have special garments we wear. It is an outward reflection of an inward commitment to follow Christ. Think of it in the same vein of a Sikh's dagger and turban or a Jew's yamaka. Its important to the one wearing it, but seems a bit odd to others.

OMG, NOW I'm curious! :( I hate to admit, but other than the usual jokes people go around telling, I know NOTHING about Mormons, and I feel kinda bad about it (we don't have a lot of mormons 'round here). Where could I read more about them?

When I was out teaching people about my Church, we would direct them to www.mormon.org It contains all the basics outlined.

There are almost 1 million members in Brazil, but I guess there are none near to you.

I'll stop before I start reeling off boring facts

Well, 1 million in a country of over 175 million is not that big a number. Also, a lot of them are probably grouped near the southeast region, in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and if you consider my city has 300,000 inhabitants, there can't be THAT big a number here, yeah. Thanks, though, TheJord, I'll check that website.

I was checking F_M and do you live anywhere near any of these places?

Manaus
Recife
Porto Alegre
Campinas
Curitiba
Sao Paulo

All of these places have a LDS temple, so should have lots of members nearby.

EDIT: Strong and Old Sao Paulo lol

Curitiba is a 3-hour drive away, it's close enough. Next time I'm there, I'll try to drop by and check it out. Also, about the undergarments I asked, I read about Temple Garments, is that what you mean? If so, I might want to have a word with you through MSN sometime! ;)

i have a couple questions if you don't mind.

1. Do you believe that it is possible for people to become Gods?

2. Do you believe Joseph Smith became a God?

3. Do you believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh?

Course I dont mind

1. The simple answer to this question would be yes.
The longer answer would involve quoting Bible passages stating we are "heirs of God, and joint-heirs of Christ", that in my Church we believe in a pre-existence (that we lived with God and Jesus Christ before we came to this Earth), and during this time a plan (often referred to as the plan of happiness, salvation or redemption) was given to us. Those who fully accepted Christ and did all that was expected would receive "all that the Father" has. Even that answer barely explains it all, but I hope it shows the point of why we believe that.

2. In answering the first question, he will at some point. Unless I'm mistaken, the second coming, resurrection and Judgement would need to happen before anyone that came to this Earth was "exalted". So, I guess the quick answer there would be 'not yet'.

3. Yes, Christ's appearance was a physical one. I hope that I am understanding this question properly, but I think the answer is yes.
