Does anyone understand the point of these ads? I really don't get it, and they're everywhere. I'm not mad, I'm just curious as to what their point is. Am I missing something?

I don't see how "discrimination" would be causing these ads.


agreed. from what i can tell, these adds are only to increase church membership. and the reason they are on AG is because the lds church gives a fairly decent sum to run these ads here.

well from what I heard, people in my school think they're creepy for some reason. I don't know why.

Look I believe that we live in America where we have freedom of religion so if anyone slanders the Mormons I am going to report them to AG. I am very defensive about my religion. Those adds are not advertising the religion they are just showing that Mormons are regular people. Besides without us Utah wouldn't be half as developed as it is now. And anyways we were the first pioneers to come across the south-west. If anyone has any questions about Mormons just ask me.

It's probably a way for their church and and religion to get more members. It is annoying, but I just ignore them.

You ask a smart question. I mean Mormons haven't been getting any negative comments in any form of media I know of(unless you count those jokes). A "I'm a Muslim" campaign would have made much more sense (I just hope nobody even thinks of doing that sort of ad campaign). So why are they doing this?

no clue as to where that's coming from. every mormon i've talked into is very nice and everything but creepy. i'd be finding out where a close-minded opinion like that's coming from if i were you.

To spread their religion, which they believe gives salvation. In other words, they're trying to help people in their own way.

i've never heard any cases where a mormon was treated differently than anyone else

well then I guess you've never heard our history. We were thrown out of the east, our first leader , Joseph Smith, was martyred in a jail, and many of our building, such as the Kirtland Temple, were destroyed.

@CalvinKidd137

Thank you. they are regular people so I don't get why they're campaigning it.

your welcome. I am just standing up for my religion. They are not campaigning it they are just proving that we are normal people.

I have gotten some for Mormon dating sites. They are those adds that are on the bottom of the screen and then pop up and cover the scree. I hate them.
