Is proselytizing by Muslims illegal in Jordan? If so, are such laws enforced?

Just wondering why there would be a satan for the first time ever in the invisible universe and for it to travel down onto earth and be behavior of satan through everybody's minds for the first time on earth to make us have a war for the first time with hitler and his wife schizophrenia being studied and studied by everybody across the world where you like it or not asian men is every guy across the world doesn't like to go insane and rage with a machine gun and kill and have no answer to why all together at the same time and have flash backs in their minds and wonder what is everybody talking about? Peace without Hitler and his wife christian aryian SATAN to be removed fully and completely showing all signs of SATAN ever being there in the first place. For christian aryian SATAN to be punished for pretending to be our islamic catholic quaran or jewish hebrew catholic bible anymore trying to hide the fact that they have been satan for 2007 years again attacking an innocent family of muslim and jewish across the world brainwashing innocent families to be slaves for the blonde hair blue eyed christian aryian SATAN. I am telling Black skin african to stand up and talk about what satan christian aryian blonde is pissed off about and punishing innocent across the world is this family of muslim and jewish being defaced debodied deskinned dishonored innocent and dumb blonde likes to blame black skin african instead and have everyone rage mentally stupid my face my body and kill black skin african innocent. Notice that it is backwards across the world for a blonde hair blue eyed to call us jealous females instead of her telling the truth that she is jealousy problems and that she is SATAN playing ugly games on the muslim and jewish family for this long obsessed with Hitler blonde christian aryian is blonde themselves. Hitlerizing everybody all the time. what do we need a blonde barbie doll in the house for a little girl to play with for any reason at all satan is wrong for making females weak and pathetic for the first time.

Just looking who wargasm is across the world is christian aryian SATAN.I am not sure where they brought us muslim and jewish family from but they are holding us hostage here on earth and executing us without telling us why all over the calendar. Christian is SATAN.

Jo comments on "Jordan and the Mormon Church"

Maybe people should actually do their research properly before expressing their opinion... Mormons are Christians and the Book of Mormon is not "our" Bible its just another witness that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

Ok... well... I did a bit of research and well, it seems we have a different definition of "son of god" here. Does your husband (and the Jordanian government!) know mormons are a polytheists that hope to be a god one day? Or can you help us understand these quotes since we, trapped in our "darkened and erroneous traditions" of montheism, are so incapable of research ourselves:

LDS Prophet Joseph Smith taught that God was once a mortal man:

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. ...I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil,...

It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God, ...and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did; ...you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by going from one small degree to another,... from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings. and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power" (History of the Church, Vol. 6, Ch. 14, p. 305-6).

LDS President Brigham Young declared that God was once a finite being:

"It appears ridiculous to the world, under their darkened and erroneous traditions, that God has once been a finite being" (Deseret News, Nov. 16, 1859, p. 290).

LDS President Joseph Fielding Smith said that God had a father, a grandfather, etc.:

"Our father in heaven, according to the Prophet, had a father, and since there has been a condition of this kind through all eternity, each Father had a Father" (Doctrines of Salvation, 2:47).

LDS President Joseph F. Smith taught that God was born as a mortal on some other earth:

"I know that God is a being with body, parts and passions...Man was born of woman; Christ, the Savior, was born of woman; and God, the Father was born of woman" (Deseret News, Church News, Sept. 19, 1936, p. 2).

LDS Apostle Bruce R. McConkie taught:

"The Father is a glorified, perfected, resurrected, exalted man who worked out his salvation by obedience to the same laws he has given to us so that we may do the same" (A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, p. 64)

LDS Apostle Melvin Ballard explained that God has a wife:

"For as we have a Father in heaven, so also we have a Mother there, a glorified, exalted, ennobled Mother" (As quoted in Achieving a Celestial Marriage, LDS Church manual, 1976, p. 129).

LDS Doctrine and Covenants promises the faithful LDS couple that they can achieve godhood in the same manner as God the Father:

"...if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity,... they shall [have]...a continuation of the seeds [children] forever and ever. Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting,... Then shall they be gods, because they have all power,... and continuation of the lives,... [endless procreation of spirit children]" (Doctrine and Covenants Section 132:18-22)

LDS President Brigham Young taught that faithful Mormons can achieve godhood:

"Intelligent beings are organized to become Gods, even the Sons of God, to dwell in the presence of the Gods, and become associated with the highest intelligences that dwell in eternity. We are now in the school, and must practice upon what we receive" (Discourses of Brigham Young, p. 245).

LDS President Joseph F. Smith said:

"We are precisely in the same condition and under the same circumstances that God our heavenly Father was when he was passing through this, or a similar ordeal" (Gospel Doctrine, p. 54).

As recently as 2007 both Apostle Boyd K. Packer and Dallen Oakes, during an interview for PBS, explained that God the father has a resurrected body. Apostle Packer stated:

"That vision [Joseph Smith's 1820 vision] taught us some things. We learned about the personality of God the Father, a resurrected Being, as part of our gospel."

Apostle Oakes used the same term when he was interviewed:

"The first revelation received by Joseph Smith was the appearance to him of the Father and the Son embodied, separate, identifiable, tangible Beings who appeared to him in what we refer to as the First Vision. And that first revelation, concerning the nature of God as an embodied, glorified, resurrected Being, challenged the creeds of Christianity. Christianity describes God as a disembodied, incomprehensible, spiritual entity that fills the whole universe, and an indistinguishable Father and Son."

LDS Apostle James E. Talmage taught that God progressed from a mortal to a god:

"We believe in a God who is Himself progressive, whose majesty is intelligence; whose perfection consists in eternal advancement — a Being who has attained His exalted state by a path which now His children are permitted to follow, whose glory it is their heritage to share. In spite of the opposition of the sects, in the face of direct charges of blasphemy, the Church proclaims the eternal truth: 'As man is, God once was; as God is, man may be'" (Articles of Faith, Ch. 24, p. 430-431).

Istaghfar Allah al3theem! I really can't see what right Mormons have to claim a link to the great Abrahamic (ie monotheistic) faiths. This appears to be pure polytheism...

Well, seeing such efforts is a refreshing change because women truly are in need of such services given the conditions they must undergo because of such ridiculous laws! I hope that more progress is made and similar organizations pop up working for the same cause.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints and am from North Wales, UK. My husband is Jordanian and is a practising muslim

It is really sad reading most of these posts about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon church) as there are so many negative comments, most of which are completely untrue. Maybe people should actually do their research properly before expressing their opinion. Why can't people just except other people's beliefs? Mormons are Christians and the Book of Mormon is not "our" Bible its just another witness that Jesus Christ is the son of God. If you don't beleive it, then try reading the book for yourself!!! As for the post that implied that all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints support a war that sanctions the killing and raping of people and their homes, that is simply not true.

I am a professional marketer with almost 30 years experience. I have worked on and studied this at length in Jordan, and I do not believe this kind of campaign, though probably well intended, is the best use of whatever money is being spent on it. Efforts need to be much more narrowcasted at very specific audiences, portions of which probably can't afford to spend JD5 on a magazine or own television sets. There is a lot of waste coverage here.

A pity, for there is so much work to be done in this area. But it needs to be approached in a much more coordinated, sustained, systematic, targeted manner.
