As a non mormon, I don't see how going away, learning how to work, study, and be responsible is handicapping them at all. I know quite a few people who would love to have their freshman year over again.

As a non mormon, I don't see how going away, learning how to work, study, and be responsible is handicapping them at all. I know quite a few people who would love to have their freshman year over again.
The questions I've been asked most frequently:
Why do you all have so many kids?
Why no tea/coffee?
What's the difference between the temple building and the church building?
- follow up if they come inside the church: whoa! do ALL your buildings have basketball courts?
- follow up to the follow up: sooo, do you have to be a member to play basketball here?

Okay, seriously.. why does the LDS church feel that Jesus needed to be rescued? Meaning, God so loved the world that He ga e his only begotten Son so that we may not perish.
Jesus experienced a horrible death, a miraculous resurrection.. yet God felt it wasn't enough? That without the intervention of a new church organization in the 1800's, His work would remain unfinished..
I'm not in any way hating.. at all. I just don't get where God's plan was to say, "yes, you believe upon my Son.. "
And then follow it up with "BUT" for the fullest of glory you must be a Mormon. That doesn't offend me because I am extremely tolerable of people's right to their chosen faith.. but it seems, to me, to be offensive to God of those that call themselves a Christian.. in any variety.

That question confused me too...is there some evidence that it's a handicap, or is this speculation?

I'm sure there is more evidence towards it being a positive factor
How mad are most Mormons that they can't have a ton of wives?
Why do Mormons get married so early?
Why do Mormons hate beards?
My honest belief on this is that it's not just some random notion within the black community that Mormons hate black people but it is being taught aggressively to black people that mormons hate them. That's my take growing up my first 23 years in the Salt Lake Valley and then going into the Navy. I think Mormons and the rest of us in the Salt Lake Valley are a lot less racist than almost anywhere. No joke.
For reference I lived in Zion, Il and worked at the Naval training center in Great lakes for 9 months. I spent two months in Dam Neck, VA and 5 years in San Diego, although about 2.5 of the years spent in San Diego I was at sea, but there was a healthy population of black people on the ship, an aircraft carrier.
What's up with the Baker's hat?
One of my black friends recently told me that a Mormon missionary told him something along the lines that because he was black, he was evil, or something along those lines, but by becoming a Mormon he would be forgiven for being black.
