Mormonisms

''Note: this article is not backed by Mormon-supported sources. It contains only anecdotal and unverified information.''

Below are sayings that Mormons use that may sound odd to those outside of the culture.

In Bearing Testimonies

 * "...with every fiber of my being" - used to explain how well you know something
 * "...without a shadow of a doubt" - used to explain how well you know something
 * "I know the Church is true." - odd way of saying you believe in the gospel; does it make any sense to say "I know that the Boy Scouts organization is true"?

Commonly Heard in Prayers

 * "Please bless this food to nourish and strengthen our bodies..." (even when blessing the desserts served after church gatherings)
 * "Please bless us to travel home in safety"

Strange Terms for Mormon Things

 * Stake House, Ward House - names of local church building
 * Relief Society - the main women's organization
 * Beehives, Laurels, Mia Maids - organizations for teenage girls
 * D&C (a.k.a. Doctrine and Covenants), Pearl of Great Price - books of Mormon scripture
 * Firesides - periodic special meetings of Mormons at church, often on Sunday evenings
 * Home Teachers - Mormon men that visit your family in your home (not be be confused with Visiting Teachers, who are the women that visit other women in their homes)
 * Fast Sunday - the first Sunday of each month where all members skip two meals
