Candidate passages:
The Mormons have continuously faced bureaucratic obstacles and have not yet obtained registration.
They most recently applied for registration in January (2006?
), and the State Service on Religious Issues requested further documentation in March.
There has been no further action taken on their registration request, and the Mormons did not report any resistance or pressure from state authorities. 
The Mormon War is a name sometimes given to the 1838 conflict which occurred between Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and their neighbors in the northwestern region of the US state of Missouri.
This conflict is also sometimes referred to as the Missouri Mormon War to differentiate it from the Utah Mormon War (also known as the "Utah War") and the lesser known Illinois Mormon War.
The specific dates of the war are from August 6, 1838, (the Gallatin election battle) to November 1, 1838, when Joseph Smith surrendered at Far West.
During the conflict 22 people were killed (3 Mormons and 1 non-Mormon at Crooked River, one Mormon prisoner fatally injured while in custody, and 17 Mormons at Haun’s Mill).
An unknown number of non-combatants died due to exposure and hardship as a result of being expelled from their homes in Missouri.
The conflict was preceded by the eviction of the Mormons from Jackson County, Missouri, in 1833.
All of the conflicts in the Mormon War occurred in a corridor to the east and northeast of Kansas City, Missouri.
As a result of the war, nearly all Mormons in Missouri, estimated at more than ten thousand, were forced to leave the state.
Most of these refugees settled in or near what would become the city of Nauvoo, Illinois. 
Stripped of their property, the Mormons were then given a few months to leave the state.
Most refugees made their way east to Illinois, where residents of the town of Quincy helped them.
When faced with the Mormon refugees from Missouri, the people of Quincy, Illinois, were outraged by the treatment the Mormons had experienced.
One resolution passed by the Quincy town council read:Resolved: That the gov of Missouri, in refusing protection to this class of people when pressed upon by an heartless mob, and turning upon them a band of unprincipled Militia, with orders encouraging their extermination, has brought a lasting disgrace upon the state over which he presides.
Eventually, the large portion of the Mormons regrouped and founded a new city in Illinois which they called Nauvoo. 
Although the LDS Church has never officially adopted a doctrine of soteriology, most Mormons accept the doctrine of salvation formulated by B. H. Roberts, John A. Widstoe, and James E. Talmage in the early 20th century.
In contrast to early Mormons, modern Mormons generally reject the idea of original sin.
The Fall of Man is viewed not as a curse but as an opportunity.
Mormons believe they must not only have faith and repent but also be baptized (by immersion and by a Mormon priesthood holder) and bring forth good works.
Mormons consider their weekly Eucharist ("the Sacrament") as a means of renewing their baptism and being repeatedly cleansed from sin.
Although the grace of Jesus plays a role in salvation, each Mormon must "work out his own salvation".
Mormons believe that people not baptized during their lifetime may accept salvation in the afterlife through the Mormon practice of baptism for the dead.
Although the Book of Mormon rejected the doctrine of universal reconciliation, Smith later taught that damnation was a temporary state from which the wicked would ultimately escape after they had paid for their sins, to be resurrected into one of the two lesser kingdoms of glory.
Mormonism takes an extreme view of Christian perfection, asserting that through the grace of Jesus, Mormons may become perfectly sanctified and thereby literally become gods or achieve a state known as exaltation.
To achieve exaltation, Mormons must remain obedient to the teachings of Jesus, receive all the ordinances or Sacraments, which includes baptism, confirmation, receiving the Melchizedek priesthood (for males), the temple endowment, and being sealed to one's spouse.
To "make sure" the election of believers, Smith introduced a second anointing ritual, whose participants, upon continued obedience, were sealed to exaltation. 
Early Mormon history is marked by many instances of violence, which has helped shape the church's views on violence.
The first significant instance occurred in Missouri.
Mormons tended to vote as a bloc there often unseating local political leadership.
Differences culminated in hostilities and the eventual issuing of an executive order (often called the Extermination Order) by Missouri governor Lilburn Boggs declaring "the Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State."
Three days later, a militia unit attacked a Mormon settlement at Haun's Mill, resulting in the death of 18 Mormons and no militiamen.
The Extermination Order was not formally rescinded until 1976.
In Nauvoo, Illinois, conflict was often based on the tendency of Mormons to "dominate community, economic, and political life wherever they landed."
The city of Nauvoo had become the largest in Illinois, the city council was predominantly Mormon, and the Nauvoo Legion (the Mormon militia) continued to grow.
Other issues of contention included polygamy, freedom of speech, anti-slavery views during Smith’s presidential campaign, and the deification of man.
After the destruction of the press of the "Nauvoo Expositor", Joseph Smith, Jr. was arrested and incarcerated in Carthage Jail where he was killed by a mob on June 27, 1844.
The conflict in Illinois became so severe that most of the residents of Nauvoo fled across the Mississippi River in February 1846.
Even after Mormons established a community hundreds of miles away in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah in 1847, anti-Mormon activists in the Utah Territory convinced President Buchanan that the Mormons in the territory were rebelling against the United States due to the Mountain Meadows massacre and plural marriage.
In response, President Buchanan sent one-third of USA's standing army in 1857 to Utah in what is known as the Utah War.
