Mormonism might be good for aspies in that

Don't worry, I meditate roughly an hour a night. I'm all over the spirit thing, just a bit more laid back with it

I have the right to call you insane, deal with it.

I am Mormon (Formally The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) You are correct on the Social activities, but when you state that our beliefs are crack pot, we don't speak ill of other faiths, so why are you?

Secondly, We don't practice plural marriage, we haven't since the late 1800's when one of presidents of the church announced it in Salt Lake City, though I understand why you may think that, but please if you want to learn about our history ask those who are of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We have not any sects or denominations, those people have been excommunicated other than the Community of Christ which could be considered a denomination, but no way apart of our church.

I wouldn't speak ill of your faith, so don't speak ill of mine!

Ya, I dont think so. Sounds kind of fake. I keep in mind that they follow a 'blind' faith. I don't follow the way I 'am' because a religion told me to. I do it because *I* want to live like this or that is simply more 'natural.' Probably more 'satanic' than anything.

Oh, and lots of us party, lots of us drink, and some of us smoke (some pot, some other stuff).

As well, I'd suggest 'Buddhism' before any other religion (my opinion)

Hey, I would like to point out that even though NT women may be very attractive, they have that weird normal stuff to go along with it. They would most likely want you to dress how they want you to dress, even if the tags on the clothes bug you, or change you into metrosexual, eyebrow plucking, facials and lots of hair goo. Then they will change your deoderant brand, toothpaste, etc. That isn't the worst part, though. NT women get embarrassed about people whose clothes don't match right, they have a fundamental NEED to spend money on expensive clothes, they cry if they break a nail, get a pimple- and there is this weird shoe fetish they have. They all have to buy new shoes, it seems all the time. Then, they would be wanting you to go shoe shopping every extra second. Most NT females I know find it tedious to excercise, or they don't want to sweat or smell, and the pounds creep up slowly. Plus, they normally require constant attention and reassurance, and they will view you as a freak if you dig science stuff. Not to mention, they are very materialistic, and tend to get upset at little things that are said-making a mountain out of a mole hill. Plus, they always want a more expensive house, car etc. Status means the biggest house payment. I could go on, I am sure that not all NTs are like that, but thats the bulk of it. Constant competition with neighbors. (Thats just my 2 cents, and I hope I haven't offended anyone). Find a nice AS, aspie, autistic, I hear tourettes is a good match too. spirited!

OK, I live in Utah, and the Mormons around here can be pretty catty towards people who don't share their beliefs. In general, I don't find their teachings any more or less bizzare than those of other faiths. However, I do find them to be pretty hostile to non-conformists.

In other words, Jonathan, I would very strongly advise you against seeking social companionship among Mormons.

Thanks, I have no interest in social companionship among male Mormons. Just young attractive single female ones LOL

They sound like quite a bigoted lot, then. I wouldn't wish to associate with people like that.

I went to a Mormon Church a couple of times in NY with my ex. They were nice enough there, although they were always trying to convert me. Here in UT, though, they can be nasty buggers. Like some people won't associate with you or let their children associate with non-Mormon kids. Had some bad experiences in UT, myself. I actually live in an extremely liberal neighborhood, now, so I don't have those problems anymore.

Interesting. Thanks for the warning. I have no interest in their strange Book of Mormons.

personally i would have a problem with any religious group who sends its members out knocking at peoples doors and trying to indoctrinate them. but perhaps thats just me...
