What are the basic doctrines of the church and what do they mean to me and other Latter-Day Saints?
The best place to learn about the Doctrines of the Church is at the Churches Website:
https://www.lds.org/manual/basic-doctrines/basic-doctrines?lang=eng
Here you will learn what those doctrines are. Why would one go to a site that is not friendly to Latter-Day Saints to find out what we believe? It would be like trying to learn about the Roman Catholic Church by asking a humanist. If you want to know about someone or some group, you go to the source.
