The members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or “Mormons”, as they are more commonly called, have been around since 1830. The church was founded by a man named Joseph Smith in New York. Shortly thereafter the entire church body moved across the midwest, eventually to Missouri. It was there in Missouri where Governor Lilburn Boggs issued executive order fourty four or, as it is more commonly called, the “Extermination Order”. The Missouri executive order forty four was an order issued in 1838 by Governor Boggs, a former governor of the state of Missouri.
On December 7, the Monticello High School mixed and concert choirs presented a choral program called “An Olde Tyme Radio Choral Concert” in the high school auditorium. It was directed by Mr. Brett Kniess, and Janice Vetter was the pianist. The songs were chosen to put the audience in the holiday spirit, and in my opinion, it accomplished this goal. The first five songs were sung by a mixed choir of freshman and sophomores.
The Book of Mormon Girl, is a memoir about the life of the protagonist, Joanna Brooks. Brooks gives us an insight into one of America's most captivating yet misunderstood religious traditions.

She knew that she was different but not in a bad way but rather in a special. Joanna brook’s memoir traces her faith journey beginning with her childhood in a secure and idealistically orthodox LDS family in Southern California to an adult woman.

Old fashioned, hand made clothing, reserved lives, playgrounds that only consist of a cement slab, and a school system that only teaches through the eighth grade are peculiar to the outside world. These oddities are just the surface of the unusual practices that take place in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. The FLDS church is one of the largest Mormon fundamentalist denominations and one of the largest organizations in the United States whose members practice polygamy. Polygamy is illegal, in 1890 the Mormon church ended its practice of polygamy, which created a split in the church. Fundamentalists moved to secluded areas where they could continue their practice of plural marriage.
The Holy Ghost People by Peter Adair, was created in 1967. It exposes people of the Pentecostal religion, and their unusual rituals and ceremonies that they partake in. While watching the movie I kept on wondering why someone would want to sit through one of their services and participate in such odd rituals and behaviors. After reviewing the sociological theories we have learned in class, I concluded that Durkheim’s Social Consensus theory and Collins Interaction Ritual Chains theory both best explain the motivations for joining and staying in a religion that has such unusual rituals and extreme commitments.
On November 15, 205 at 2pm I was able to see the Rutgers Percussion Ensemble. I was very interested in this show, because I have never been able to see a group of only percussionists perform in the same space. The first piece they did was called Ionisation, which was written in 1929. There were thirteen musicians on stage playing various instruments. This song began with a rolling unpitched sound coming from four snare drums with the claves.
The Book of Mormon was written by many ancient prophets and tells the history of the people in the Americas and their experiences with Jesus Christ and the gospel. Towards the end of his life, the prophet Moroni buried the gold plates, the records containing the Book of Mormon, in the Hill Cumorah, which was where Joseph Smith was lead to find them centuries later. The Book of Mormon contains truths that are not contained in the Bible and explains in more detail the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Church was given the nickname “Mormon” after the Book of Mormon, and believes the Book of Mormon to be the truest book on the face of the Earth. It was only through the translation of the Book of Mormon that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could even begin to be
By the end of the meeting, they had decided to call for a convention, “to discuss the social, civil, and religious condition and rights for woman” (Seneca
Women segregation started to become more active when females, including some men, had gathered at the Seneca Falls Conventions in 1848 (History). The convention was organized by reformers named Elizabeth Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The meeting consisted of about 300 abolitionist activists’ women, and 40 were men. During this meeting, the group discussed about women equality and voting rights. Once the meeting had begun, there were various mentioning of women suffrage.
Almost all living things listen to and enjoy music. In the book, The Hobbit, music defines many of the magical creatures, and what they stand for. Three of the creatures whose music truly stands out in the book are the dwarves, the elves, and the goblins. The dwarves’ music has a tone of being peaceful and deep.

Mormons have multiple taboos in their religion. In the article Mormons say race remains taboo topic in church states “A year after Mormon leaders published a landmark essay on the church's past ban on blacks in the priesthood, some members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sat race seems to remain a taboo topic” (Mormons say race remains taboo topic in church, 2014).Up until the past few years everyone knew that the Mormon culture did not allow different races into their religion and people still think of a taboo in the churches. In the article Mormons say race remains taboo topic in church states “Amid a nationwide uproar over race and police use of force, black members of the church say they want to talk about the issues with members of their faith, but it’s tough” (Mormons say race remains taboo topic in church,2014).Even though they let black people join their religion they still have a taboo
The Book of Mormons was first published in 1830 by a man named Joseph Smith. Many critics have criticized Joseph Smith, and say that he fabricated the Book of Mormons. Joseph Smith claims that it is an ancient text. However it came to be, it has become a prominent belief system in many parts of the world. The Book of Mormons has a very interesting story from its origins to its content, religious significance, and history.
The purpose of the entire speech is to get other to understand that women were created to be just as equal as men. She does this by using her own personal experiences and using the bible as a way to connect with her audience. For example
