If the "Code of Whites" refers to anything racial, then I can answer definitively that no, the code of whites is NOT enforced in the Mormon Church. The Church turned its back on all racial issues in 1970, and they have not looked back.

If the "Code of Whites" has something to do with the white clothing that Mormons wear under their street clothes or in the temple, then I have no idea, and this answer should be copied to the discussion page, so that this question will appear unanswered for further contributors.

Do some momons still practice where they have more than one wife?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) stopped allowing it's members to have more than one wife over 120 years ago in October 1890. Anyone found practicing polygamy since then has been kicked out of the Church. The only way that a Mormon may marry more than once is if their spouse dies or if they are divorced. There were some who disagreed with this new policy who left the Mormon church to begin their own groups. Many of these groups still exist today and do still practice polygamy. Sometimes these groups are called "Fundamentalist Mormons" because they broke off the of the Mormon church, however they are not affiliated with the Mormon church in any way and have tried to distance themselves from the Mormon Church as much as possible.


Do momrans today believe in pologamy?

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) banned the practice of polygamy over 120 years ago, in 1890. Anyone found practicing polygamy since that time has been excommunicated from the Church. There were some who disagreed with this ban and left the Mormon church to form their own groups. Many of these groups still exist today and are sometimes referred to as "Mormon Fundamentalists." These groups are not affiliated with the regular Mormon Church and believe that the Mormon Church has left God's way.

Where did the term jack Mormon come from?

'Jack Mormon' is a slang term used in Mormon culture originally to describe a friend of the LDS Church* who was not a member. Over time, the term came to be applied to those who are members of the church but do not follow the tenets or lifestyle of the faith. For example, a Mormon who drinks alcohol and coffee but still attends church might be a Jack Mormon. So might an individual who believes in the faith, but has stopped attending meetings. The term has fallen into disuse in recent years, and such individuals are now commonly described as "less active" or "inactive" Saints. * The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often nicknamed the Mormon church.

Yes. Kody Brown served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in San Antonio, Texas.

He and his family still belong to that church.

Is there a branch of Mormons with different beliefs than the original Mormon church?

I'm just learning about the mormons religon but I do not thank they have a differnet beleif then any other mormons. They come from all around to teach us the good and great , powerful lord , jesus christ & will all ways do the same belief to all persons of the relgion. -------- another answer: There are many small groups which have split off from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) for different reasons. Some people still consider members of these groups Mormon because they still believe in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith, however there are some major differences between them and the original mainstream Mormon church. The largest of these breakoff groups are the Community of Christ, the FLDS, and the Apostolic United Brethren. The Mormon Church considers these to be apostate groups and does not accept them as Mormon.

What is the new name that Mormons are called?

Actually, "Mormon" is the new name. The official name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This has been their official name since 1838. Prior to this they were sometimes known as the Church of Christ (1830-1834) or as the Church of Latter Day Saints (1834-1838). The title "Mormon" was a nickname given to them by their enemies, mocking them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Mormons have since embraced the name and accept "Mormon" as an appropriate, although informal, nickname. However, Mormons still prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS" rather than "Mormon". Generally, it is acceptable to call the followers "Mormons", but it is not appropriate to call the church the "Mormon Church".


Is the Mormon underwear required to be a Mormon?

"Mormon Underwear" are also known as garments. These garments are worn by members of the LDS church who have entered the temple and made covenants with the Lord. The garments are a reminder and an outward expression of those covenants made with God. There are MANY LDS members who have never been through the temple but are still active members of the Church. No... "Mormon Underwear" or GARMENTS are NOT required to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.


When did the Mormons belief end?

Is julieanne hough a jack Mormon?

I don't think that Julianne Hough could be classified as a "Jack Mormon". A "Jack Mormon" is usually someone that is a.) a member who attends meetings but doesn't necessarily live the lifestyle of a Mormon, perhaps they drink coffee, smoke, or dress immodestly but still participate in their congregation; or b.) a non-member who often participates with and supports their local Mormon congregation although they are not officially Mormon. Generally, the lifestyles of both types of "Jack Mormons" are very similar, the only difference is their membership status. Julianne Hough is more accurately considered a non-practicing or inactive Mormon. While she is still officially a member of the Church and has not requested that her name be removed from Church records, she does not participate in congregation services or live the lifestyle expected of a Mormon. She has less affiliation and participation with the church than a "Jack Mormon" would. Most likely she would say that she was raised Mormon, but no longer practices the faith.


Is it true that if a Mormon leaves the church and their whole family is Mormon does that mean that no matter what the age they are to be exiled from the chuch and family?

No, it is not true. I'm Mormon and plenty of my Mormon friends have left the church and are still welcome with their families. Other members of the families might be disappointed (as is the case with any religious family,) but ultimately we are taught that family is important and you should love them no matter what their choices are. Also, even if someone has left the Church, they are welcome at any time to participate in worship services and activities, just as all members of the public are. Church members strive to emulate Jesus Christ - who said that we should love everyone! They do NOT 'exile' or 'shun' people. Someone who is "excommunicated" from the Church has simply had their name taken off the official records of the Church. They are still welcome to participate in Church services and activities.
