Celestial Kingdom and your behavior and works on earth determine what level you go on. Another belief he told me about was that all members are to wear special under clothes purchased specially through the church to protect them from evil spirits. I had to probe for that one. I had been told that a long time ago and didn't believe it, but some members of the church for a time wear these protective garments. Another interesting point that I learned about was the fact that they believe that marriage isn't "till death do us part." They believe that you are married for eternity. The whole family will be reunited in the Celestial Kingdom and live forever there. That is a very serious commitment. Each individual must pick their partners very carefully. The Mormons are good people, and contribute some beneficial things to the American society, but I have found there to be many faults with some fundamental issues they believe in. First of all, Joseph Smith Jr. seemed to be a shady character from most of the references that I have read. His neighbors claimed he was always over exaggerating things and making up stories. I also discovered that the plates that Smith found were most likely falsified documents. He said the characters were of some Egyptian, Caldiac, Assyrian and Arabic languages, all put together. He claimed to have these characters authenticated by Professor Charles Anthon of Columbia University. Well, the professor says (on the record) that one of Smith's men came to him and gave him the documents. The professor told him that it was nothing but garbage characters and to beware of "rogues" and liars. The language was supposed to be a "reformed Egyptian" but linguists have refuted it as mythical. These tablets are supposed to be telling stories of ancient civilizations, which never existed. I just find that such a falsehood could be found with one of their documents, how can I believe anything else they have to say. I did learn a lot...
