multiple wives is illegal - most evangelical Mormons I meet are suited and tied and very slick in their approach like door to door salemen

@MattMeng yes, outside their beliefs that I don't share they are just ordinary people

@arthurchappell That's sound well. Perhaps we would forget the religion in the future.

I have known several Mornons. Their life styles were never any different from anyone else's here. In fact, I would not ever have known that they were members of the Church of Latter Day Saints if the fact that they go to that church had not come up by chance in the course of conversation.
What is your perception of the "traditional style" of Mormons? (Mormons are no longer allowed to have more than one wife, if that was what you were thinking!)

President Gordon B. Hinckley, prior president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made the following statement in 1998 about the Church’s position on plural marriage: “This Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing

@owlwings The Church officially renounced the practice (after pressure from the Federal Government) in 1890. Up till then it had upheld it, believing it to be protected as a religious belief by the First Amendment.

Yes, Sir, you are a knowledge gentleman, and you would be my tutor of me.
I saw some pictures about the Mormons family in the USA and Canada, one husband has a lot of wives and a lot of children.

I don't know a great deal about Mormons except that we all can identlfy them with their shirt and tie. They usually stand out because they don't look local. As to why? I don't know. Maybe they are missionaries who are visiting from other countries? And they usually sell books. I hope I don't sound stereotypical but....just saying

It could be seen in India such peoples but those marriages were not registered under the law and this isn't been allowed by the law.

Mormons have a different religion and they beleive in more than one wife. But that is not allowed in the USA anymore.
