Avoid them they teach many heretical things against the word of god, they are then heretics not true Christianity. So I think you shouldn't tell him anything but simply avoid that Church and it's beliefs.

One of my dear friends who passed away a few years ago was an LDS member. Tell your dad that the LDS church has the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, alcoholism, and domestic violence of any Christian denomination in the US. If he agrees to go, the dress code is the same for most churches. You should probably wear a dress, and your dad should wear a suit or slacks and a jacket. If he doesn't like wearing a jacket, ask him to wear a pair of nice slacks and a nice button shirt if possible.

People will often have a knee-jerk reaction because of the bad press, but you never know. He might have a friend who is Mormon. If it was me, I would first find the address of the nearest LDS church, and call to find out when the meetings start. Here is a meetinghouse locator:

Most women and girls will be in dresses or skirts and men will either be in suits or nice pants, shirts and ties.

You don't have to act a certain way, just be yourself.

If you have a Bible you can bring that. If you stay for the entire three hours you will attend a Sunday School class and you might want to look up scriptures. Otherwise, you don't have to bring anything unless you want to bring your purse of course.

I even have been a member of the church for countless years now. i replaced into very fortunate to have the two my mothers and fathers settle for it and be happy for me. Neither of them have been very lively of their very own church (they have been catholics) so i assume that it could have made a difference. i replaced into irritating approximately telling my mothers and fathers and easily went to three conferences formerly telling them. I had some acquaintances that went to the church and replaced into in college on the time. i eventually instructed them because of the fact it replaced into substantial to me and that i wanted to proceed going over wreck.

I want you the perfect of success in regardless of you pick and desire which you're able to do what you like.

im lds and we usually go for (if your a girl) a dress or shirt and skirt the top should have sleeves (cap sleeves are fine) and the skirt should go to your knee. and for your father i would just suggest a buttoned up shirt and tie and some nice pants. you dont really need to bring anything we always have extra bibles or book of mormons around or you could always look at them with a neighbor your sitting next to. just be respectful, if you have questions, ask them but ask them with respect. also just be reverent it IS a church meeting.

ill have to say though be prepared.... most people dont realize our church goes 3 hours. so if youre going to go be ready for that. im sure you will have a pleasant time. be ready also to have a lot of people talk to you. we like to welcome new people

Women and girls should wear dresses or skirts that go below the knees as well as no cleavage or "sun dresses". Men or boys should wear dress pants, button up shirt and if over 12 a tye. If you are new it is quite possible that someone would notice and approach you.

Just wear something nice, and rather modest. By that, I mean, sleeves and not too far above the knees. Oh, and no midriff. Not see thru. You know what I mean.

Act? Normal, I guess.

If you're a Caucasian, middle-upper class you're already off to an excellent start.

Where a nice dress, don't go all "traditional". Mormons tend to keep up with fashion trends. Nothing sexy, AT ALL.

They are usually very friendly to visitors. Just don't give them your real contact info if you don't want them checking in on you regularly.
