hey guys, just so u know i think it's against studio policies etc to have actors use real cigarette's because of the obvious health risks to both the actor and the surrounding people. from what i've heard they use herbal cig's or some specially designed ones... but i'm not 100%

I agree...I think that all kinds of advertising (for example about cigarettes or alcohol) are wrong...I think that aj doesnt break her values...

I thought I would throw in a few comments here. Im a member of the LDS faith (aka Mormon) and am a budding writer/director. I thought I would mention that in most hollywood productions that they use herbal ciggerettes and that alcholol is always usually something else. However for some of the BIGGER stars, they demand the use of real alcohol and they usually get it.
And just to clear up one more thing...LDS do not practise polygamy (more than one wife). That practise was outlawed in the church nearly a century ago and becasue of that, some members broke off the church and began their own religion (the Reorganized LDS Church), they are the ones who continue to practise.
I totally respect AJ for keeping with her standards and as a fellow member in the entertainment industry I know how hard it is to try and make a name for yourself while keeping the LDS standards. Those standards include no alcohol, no tabacco, no drugs, no caffene and no premarital sex (however contrary to an earlier statement, you can have sex without a condom, it depends on individual preference). To portray these acts is not a bad thing but to practise them is, and nudity deffinately constitiutes as acting nude...lol.
I would love to know from her how she manages to decide what scripts to take or what roles to portray as it is a very fine line in the LDS faith to what people choose to do in the entertainment industry. There a loads of Mormon actors/writers/directors who struggle with this and I am one. I have received offers to do alot of movies which conflicts with my belief and with each script I turn down, the harder it is to become a "made" man in the film indusrty. So obviously she has done something right.
So as an answer to the original question ion this thread...YES it is hard to make it when your LDS, hard but not impossible.

I've read a few books that compare the relgions of the world. All of them say Mormonism is a cult, not really an ordaned religon. Im Christian too and I Highly respect A.J. for not doing sex senes.

People say we are a cult because we aint as public as some other churches when it comes to world wide situations, we dont need to go shouting our mouths off to get attention. People find it easier to categorise us as a cult than to actually learn who we are...its really sad honestly....btw I didnt logg in cause I couldnt be bothered

we dont need to go shouting our mouths off to get attention Not true, in my area the Mormons were doing all this weird stuff and had these huge signs and were advocating something. And once when I was working, after I helped these people... The guy went into his pocket and handed me a little book upside down. I looked at it and It was about finding God. I go to church and i am VERY Christian so I thought it was funny but weird that they do that. QUESTION 4 A MORMON: Also Is It true that you belive that God was in America and people were here, but then god banished everything that would prove it? B/C most of the bible has been proven true but that obviously cant be proven.

QUESTION 4 A MORMON: Also Is It true that you belive that God was in America and people were here, but then god banished everything that would prove it? B/C most of the bible has been proven true but that obviously cant be proven. To comment on the first statement. I was talking about the LDS church in general, not some group of LDS members that live in your area. You gotta remember that just becasue one group of LDS protested or what not, that shouldnt reflect on the church as a whole. It is very rare to find an official statement from the leaders of the church that represent the church on a whole (well not to non-LDS, however if you search the net you can see many talks from them). For example, the LDS Church send food supplies and other miscellanious supplies to different places in need (for example, Fiji when they had the massive storms) but the church barely ever announces that they did so. To your question...we do believe that Jesus came to the Americas after his ressurrection, but I have no idea where the idea came from that he destroyed all evidence. Thats the first ive heard of that claim. You claim that most of the Bible has been proven to be true? Thats not at all true, many people say they have but there is still alot of the evidence to the contrary. I believe in the Bible, but thats due to Faith not physical proof, and you dont need physical proof to have Faith, what would be the purpose? And there has been (supposedly, the same as the bible) proof that Jesus did come to the Americas, but once again, there have been arguement to the contrary. Look the bottom line is, Christiananity has been considered a cult, so has the Roman Catholic church, so has the Jehovah Witnessess, so have the Seven Day Adventists, so have the Latter Day Saints. It all depends on what you read and who you talk to, some people believe anybody who belongs to any kind of church is a cultist...is that what you believe? I believe you should just respect everybodies choice on who they wanna worship if it be God or Buddah. BTW, there is no church that has been given some sort of stamp of approval

First off, Yes most of the bible has been proven true. You obviously never watched documentaries on it. The Bible, Torah, Qu'ran, all are actual documents. Just diffrent point of views. Anyway You're right you don't need proof to have faith, I obviously had faith before, just its cool to know I'm not fallowing something thats not true.
Before you go biteting peoples heads off, oh wait- to late, I never said I thought Mormonism is cult. I said people always siad it was. Religon is not a cult in my opinon. but w/e you seem closed minded so im not gonna argue

alright guys, lets turn down the discussion on religion. this is an AJ board, and even though we can talk about her religion, there is no need state our own personal beliefs.
thanks!

Let's not argue about our personal beliefs! But Katrina, so far there aren't any proofs on the veracity of the Bible. I can assure you that much. As for Mormon religion as a cult, yes it started as a cult but now it's considered a religion, not a cult. But just as a reminder, don't get angry at whatever it's said on this board, cause i'm sure whoever said it, didn't mean to ofend anyone.

Actually Joana, Not all but yes, most of the bible has been proven. Like finding part of Noah's Arc on top of Mt. Ararat (sorry dont know how to spell it) Obviously like the books of revalations cant be proven but if ithe bible wasn't why would historians say it is an accuret document of the past.
But just because you guys/girls don't believe it, doesn't mean its not true. When I was wacthing the history channel about the bible I was scared b/c of all the things that where proven, because now I now whats to come but w/e.

Not all but yes, most of the bible has been proven. Like finding part of Noah's Arc on top of Mt. Ararat quote] I apologise if I sounded like I was accusing you of calling us a cult, didnt mean it...just really peevs me off when people (usually in books) say things about people, places, religions or whatever else when they dont really know what they are talking about or when they are just assuming. Because ive read MANY books on the subject also (when I studied religion in University) and alot do say that they believe we are a cult and alot say we aint...its just opinions, most havent got evidence becasue there is no evidence of that sort of thing. I also saw that documentary you are talking about (The Noahs Ark Doco), and they still dont have conclusive evidence that the ship they found is infact the Noahs Ark....but you never know it could well be, it would be great if it is. But the others are right...lets not argue about this on here...lets just agree to disagree okay? Truce?
