2 Distinguishing Mormons from Quakers, Mennonites, and the Amish

Despite some misconceptions over similar nicknames and stereotypes, Mormons are not the same religious group as Quakers, Mennonites, or Amish. Mormons originated separately from all of these groups. One source of confusion comes from the mistranslation of the movie Witness with Harrison Ford into Spanish, French, and Italian. In it "Amish" was translated into "Mormon." The Quakers are officially known as members of the Religious Society of Friends. As stated above, the term Mormons originated from "The Book of Mormon" and is associated with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
