What Type Of Mormon Are You? - Page 2

Nighthawk,
Would you say the Amish live that cliche? They live in and surrounded by "the world" but yet are not of "the world".
I was told the reason we have a living prophet today is because things are much different from the times Moses, Lehi, Ammon, and Brigham led the saints elsewhere. "The world" is getting smaller each day and soon there will be no place for anyone to be out of the world. What I believe this saying implies for our time is exactly what LDS_Forever said

Being deployed right now I have very few place to go and even less activities to do. To relax I can do what every one else around me does (look at scantly clothed women in magizines, use profanity in abundance, or watch movies that depict sex, violence, and alcohol as being fun.) or I can go out side and sit in a vehicle and read until break time is over.
As for the type of Mormon I am, I strive for Obiac but with more patience. However, I find myself at times acting very Pretty, or Caffeinated.
To use another cliche: Nobodies perfect.

My son, unfortunately, is a Paper Mormon. He was born in the covenant and we attended church faithfully until my husband and I divorced when our son was only three years old. Since then, his father's strong anti-Mormon stance has taken hold and he is unconvinced of any of the truths.

Frankly, don't I think these four categories cover all the types of Mormons that exist. All four of these sound completely negative, with no redeeming attributes at all, and I think that's unfair.

I don't see myself classified in any of them.

Of the four choices, I am a Caffeinated Mormon more than the others. When I was younger this was even more true. I've always had a strong testimony, but have a terrible rebellious streak and bristled at conformity, or the thought of having to do something simply because it is expected of me. I don't consider this a virtue but rather a fault. This may be part of the reason I chose to marry a non-LDS. For me at least, there is some danger in being a Caffeinated Mormon because it is too easy to cross over to becoming a paper mormon. There is strength in numbers and good reasons to be different that other people. It is usually the differences in us that convert others to the Gospel. Though I agree that the four categories don't cover all types of Mormons, it's really quite descriptive of many.

Hello,
Legacyholder here. I just read a question asking what kind of Mormon are you? Interesting as I read some replys. Where I live there are very few paper Mormons in contrast with the Utah brothers and sisters where generations of paper Mormons live. I'm not paper, or pretty or caffeinated except for an infusion of chocolate fairly regulalry, so I guess I'm the other kind? Being a New Englander is a whole different kind of Mornon I think. I am thrilled when I meet Mormons from other States or Countries, being a people person. By the way I don't eat an awfully LOT of jello...But my testinomy is firm.
With best,
Legacyholder
