And don’t put words in my mouth. The question was regarding the Mormon values I agree with- and the poster specifically asked me to refrain from theology (So I don’t care to hear about the magic underpants, the planet Pluto, etc) We are talking about societal VALUES.
Here are Mormon values from their own website. And I agree with them all:
Strengthening Families
The happiest marriages and families are those grounded on the principles Christ taught—unselfishness, honesty and loyalty.
Service to Others
Jesus spent His life serving others. Following His example brings the most lasting kind of happiness.
Missionary Work
We search for every opportunity we can to proclaim God’s word throughout the world and bless the lives of His children.
Lifelong Learning
Education empowers us to be better people and helps us more effectively contribute to society.
Freedom to Choose
As spiritual children of God we’re free to choose how our future unfolds. Every step toward Him gives us even greater freedom.
Humanitarian Aid
Caring for the homeless, the hungry and the destitute is one of our missions. We work together to offer immediate relief and hope for a better life.
Good Citizenship
Being a good citizen makes our world a safer and more peaceful place. Our small efforts can have a large impact.
Family History
Coming to know our ancestors helps us better understand who we are, builds bridges between the generations, and binds families together.

(For your sake I dropped that unnecessary capital g We wouldnt want your readers to get confused about just what you were referring to)
I listed several ‘societal values’ that Mormons practice and believe.
The list you gave is nice, but it is pure propaganda designed to make the Mormon church look good to outsiders, that isnt’ the reality at all as anyone (like me, Sentinel and others here) who lived it will tell you.

Oh, of course you do.
It would have been better if you had just been honest with your mormonISM, (psst that’s not one of their values - honesty)
They do have other flavors you know...
