The Morman church started when Joseph Smith told this story:

One night, he was asleep, and an angel came to him and told him where he could find golden tablets with the rest of the Christ story told on them. Also, with the tablets, he would find two stones that would help him translate the book into English. The angel came to him a couple nights in a row and told the same the story. After awhile, Joseph Smith went to the place where he was told and found the book, and translated it (I believe by putting the stones in a hat, then sticking his head in the hat and the words just came to him). The angel aslo said that he was not allowed to let anyone see the tablets or let them out of his possession at all, until such time that the angel came back to retrieve them. Eventually, (after the tablets were translated) the angel came back and took the tablets.

Apparently though, many people in the Mormon Chruch do not know the extent of the Mormon doctrine. As a member of the church you have to go through certain levels before they'll tell you things like: do things right and you too can have a planet of your own someday!
