I have a friend who joined the lds church for about a yr. and this is where I learned a bit about it.. they do believe that there are 3 separate gods, they are made of flesh, and that god the father has parents, and when you die, you can either live in "heaven" with god the father, or the son or the holy spirit, depending on how you lived your life, living with god the father would be the better of the three. Also, when you die, you live with your family, and that the more children you have the better.

but what happens if you are widowed and you remarry and have more kids and what happens if one of the spouses gets sent to hell or to heaven with god the holy spirit, while you live with god the father? It's a bit confusing. He didn't get to the point of wearing special underwear nor did he go to the special temple which is supposed to resemble heaven, where you need an ID card to get in.

I understand the BSA has a special handbook just for mormon scouts too..

A former manager is a high ranking Mormon and now resides in Salt Lake City. He loved to engage Christians in religious discussion. Those conversations pointed out my poor grasp of catholic catechesis. But, as the author or the above article notes, my boss carefully shielded their true beliefs from me, positing the Mormon faith as christian.

As for George Nhoury, he truly believes in aliens.

No suprise there. LDS has been the largest single supporter of BSA. Not sure about recent years. One could say BSA is the LDS youth program.
