  I was interested in learning about Mormons after I had a discussion with a friend of mine who lives in another part of the country. I find Mormon history fascinating. My friend said I should go check it out, so I did.
  
  The first meeting was ok. There didn't seem to be a clearly organized sermon given. A few different people got up and talked, but mostly they got emotional over some minor life events, and there wasn't exactly a point to their speeches.
  
  The second meeting was where things got interesting. There was a discussion about some of the early church history, which was what my friend and I had discussed. I made a comment that I liked much of what the church teaches, but that I had a hard time understanding why God would command Joseph Smith to marry teenagers and do some of the things he did.
  
  The teacher and others in the room looked apalled and said those things weren't true, that they were "anti-mormon lies." My friend, who is mormon, had shown me an essay that the church itself recently put out on their own website which discusses these issues and fully admits that Joseph married at least one 14 year-old, and married women who were already married at the time. (It is titled "Plural Marriage in Kirtland and Nauvoo). I told them about this essay, and the fact that the church now admits these things are true. The people in the class still didn't believe it, and refused to look on the LDS website to confirm it.
  
  The rest of the meeting felt pretty tense after that. I didn't stick around for whatever the third meeting was. For a group of people who insist they have "the truth," they didn't seem too interested in learning about truth. If "anti-mormon lies" are true, what does that say about being mormon?
