    Mormons. Go figure.
    "When you are serving the church you are better man"??????
    What happened to God, or Christ?????? Never mind, it's all about Joe, right.
    The "church" is a business. That's what the Mormon cult is, a business, not a religion.
    Proud to be a Pagan!

    Joseph Smith was high on peyote when he supposedly had an epipheny, and wrote the "book of mormon". However, still would love to see the "choir".

    actually when she said, "When you are serving the church you are better man", she was saying that because it brings you closer to God and Christ, which is exactly why it makes him a "better man". I wouldn't say the LDS church is a business cause no body gets a salary for anything they do. The LDS church is completely and 100% based on Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. While the members may not all be perfect by any means, the idea is that we are all trying to be more like Christ. Despite what people say, the Mormon church is not based upon Joseph Smith. He was just a humble man, called to be a prophet...no different than the prophets of the days of the bible. Why would God have prophets in the times of the bible, but not now?? Are we not as loved and important to God as the people of that time were?? I know that we are and that we DO have a prophet even now to lead and guide us, just as those in the times of the bible did. The Book of Mormon is just another testament of the Savior, Jesus Christ, and goes right in hand with the Bible. Any who don't believe that should try reading The Book of Mormon and see for themselves. While we do not be any means worship Joseph Smith, we are great full for the work that he did do, even giving his life to do it, choosing to follow Heavenly Father's will. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and KNOW that they really are there watching over everyone of us and want to help us all make it back to live with him again someday. I hope everyone who get the opportunity to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will love and enjoy their amazing music and the feelings that will come as you listen! They are awesome! :)

    @downtownresident: It is sad that you have such a closed mind. Why else would you have interpreted that statement in that way?

    @k33j88: Prove that Joseph Smith "wrote" the Book of Mormon. Aside from spiritual proof, there is so much proof that there is no way he could have written it. But, unfortunately, I believe that you probably have read much of the disinformation about this topic. I invite you to not take my word for it, but to read it for yourself and see.

    The MTC is unbelievably gifted, and its music transcends all faiths to unite people in the same bond of brotherhood when they sing. I enjoy watching the Christmas performance every single year. Too bad that brotherly love does not extend to those outside of the musical arena.

    I do not enjoy your church members who are alleged "leaders", and who remain unfair to others in a democracy that is based on equal opportunity. That does not exist in Mesa, for all the brotherly love the MTC conveys.

    If Mitt gets the nomination, he does not have my vote for that very reason. It's not based on observed behavior, from afar, it's based on the way I have been personally been treated by Mormons.

    I still enjoy your music. Go figure.

    AZcitizen and others: How the devil do you know what she meant????? This is just another point that proves that the Mormon cult puts words in the mouths of women and children.

    Never mind. I think you are all very misguided and the mormon concept of diety and Heaven is so grossly distorted that it can only be classed as a cult.
    I'm sorry you feel misunderstood, but you need to get over this persecution complex that most of you seem to harbor.
