Hi, Welcome to Moroni's Latter-Day Saints page. This page is dedicated to the beliefs, history, and doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (The Mormons, LDS, Latter-day saints, etc)- my religion by choice and testimony. My friends, on the net, know me as Moroni.
The purpose of this page is to better inform people about the beliefs of the restored church of Jesus Christ. The following are articles and essays that I feel will be very informative and hopefully inspiring to the reader. Each should establish and reinforce to the reader my testimony that Jesus is The Christ, that Joseph Smith was His prophet, and that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet that holds all the keys to Christ's Priesthood today.
If you have any questions, or comments, after reading my page, please feel free to email me directly.
Please read them and enjoy.
