Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that immediately after death, the spirit is separated from the body. The spirits of all people go to the Spirit World - the righteous who accepted the gospel of Jesus Christ will go to Spirit Paradise (heaven) and those who did not accept the gospel of Jesus Christ will go to Spirit Prison (hell). Here in the Spirit World, we may still make choices that effect our eternal reward. The spirits in paradise will teach those in prison the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and those in prison will have the opportunity to repent, accept Jesus, and change their eternal destiny.
After the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the spirits of all people, both in Spirit Paradise and in Spirit Prison, will be resurrected. Their spirits will be reunited with their bodies and they will face a final judgement by Jesus. At this judgment, the vast majority of people will end up in one of three Kingdoms (levels) of Heaven, while those who were exceptionally wicked will go to Outer Darkness or Hell.
The Celestial Kingdom of heaven will be for those who accepted Jesus Christ and were faithful in following God's commandments. Here they will spend eternity with God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, united with the other members of their family who were also faithful.
The Terrestrial Kingdom of Heaven will be for those who accepted Jesus Christ but were not faithful in following His commandments or who were very righteous people but did not accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ when it was taught to them. Jesus Christ will visit those in the Terrestrial Kingdom, but He will not dwell there.
The Telestial Kingdom is for those who rejected Jesus Christ and/or lived wickedly. Despite this, the Telestial Kingdom is still thought to be more pleasant and glorious than mortal life on earth. The Holy Spirit will visit them.
Outer Darkness (or Perdition) will only be for those who apostasized from the Gospel - that is, they accepted Jesus Christ and then knowingly and purposely denied Him. They will live with Satan forever.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that in addition to a person's mortal life on Earth, there was both a life before and will be a life after. In the "afterlife," spirits will dwell for a time in either a paradise or a prison and await the resurrection. At the resurrection, all will reunite with their mortal bodies, now perfected, never to be separated again. Then all persons will be judged according to their works and will ultimately go to live in one of three kingdoms.
The Plan of Salvation as taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) holds that Heaven is divided into three separate kingdoms of glory (each of which contains "many mansions).They believe that there are three degrees of glory that one can attain.
Celestial
Terrestial
Telestial
Entrance into each kingdom depends on a person's worthiness and his adherence to the commandments of God and the ordinances He has prescribed. Since God is the ultimate judge, all people will be judged fairly and awarded the kingdom where they will be most happy and comfortable. The Doctrine and Covenants describes that men and women will be sent to "their own place, to enjoy that which they are willing to receive" (Doctrine and Covenants 88:32). Many people will be sent to the lower kingdoms "because they were not willing to enjoy that which they might have received" (Doctrine and Covenants 88:32), namely exaltation in the Celestial kingdom. Even so, all three kingdoms are kingdoms of glory and even the lowest is MORE glorious than ANY man can currently comprehend.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that once someone dies, they will enter a spiritual paradise or a spiritual prison. Most people will go to paradise; prison is reserved for those who have committed serious sins. Here, in paradise or prison, the deceased live as spirits but are able to continue to learn and progress. They will also be able to repent of any sins they committed on earth and accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, if they did not have the opportunity in their mortal life. For this reason, Mormons perform baptisms in behalf of those who have died, believing that the deceased can choose to accept or reject the baptism. It is believed that the deceased in paradise are with loved ones who have also died.
At the time of the Second Coming and Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, the spirits who have been waiting in paradise and prison will be resurrected, meaning their spirits will be reunited with perfected bodies. Following the resurrection of all men, they will be judged by Jesus Christ. During this judgment they will be assigned to one of the three kingdoms of heaven or to perdition. Mormon belief is that very few will enter into perdition, or hell. It is reserved only for those who have knowingly and willingly sinned against God and refused to repent of their sins. Most people will enter into one of the three kingdoms of heaven. Judgment is based on a person's righteous desires, actions, and acceptance of Jesus Christ.

Joseph Smith taught that reincarnation is a doctrine of the devil.
The Church does believe in Resurrection, a similar but different concept. You can read about resurrection at the "Related Link" below.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that after death, the righteous will go to a "Spirit Paradise" or heaven and the wicked will go to a "Spirit Prison" or hell. This is a temporary location of our spirits, where we are still able to learn, progress, and make choices. Mormons believe that here, those who have passed on can still have the opportunity hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ and salvation through Him.
Following the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, all those in Spirit Paradise and Spirit Prison will be resurrected and recieve perfected versions of their mortal bodies. They will then face a final judgement by Jesus Christ. After this judgement, people will be assigned to one of the three degrees of heaven or to "Outer Darkness" (hell).
Mormons believe that nearly all mankind will go to one of the three degrees of heaven, only those who have known God and Jesus Christ and then knowingly deny them will be damned for eternity.

Do Mormons believe they will be gods and Does Brooke White believe she will be one of the God-wives?
I don't know who Brooke White is but Mormons believe they can become gods, IF they do certain ceremonies in the temple and keep the vows they make there. Not all Mormons believe they will become gods, because not all Mormons go to the temple and do the ceremonies they believe are required. They do not believe they will become gods but they do believe they will be able to become more like Jesus and god.

What are the bad things that they say about Mormons?
Many things that people say against Mormons simply come from someone who is uninformed or has a different opinion. This does not mean that it is bad, but it is often offensive. Those who are uninformed or misinformed often say: -Mormons are polygamist (this practice was banned by the church over 120 years ago in 1890) -Mormons dont believe in the Bible (Mormons consider the King James Version of the Bible as sacred scripture and are encouraged to study it daily) -Mormons don't believe in Jesus (Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, just like all Christians) -Mormons are cultish (Mormons live and dress and act just like most anyone else in society. They do not live on compunds, etc.) -Mormons worship Joseph Smith (Mormons believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, just like Moses or Abraham, not a god to be worshipped) -Mormons kidnap, brainwash, coerce, etc (Mormons wish everyone to make their own decisions, and define their standards by Scripture) Those who have different opinions and say things that are offensive to Mormons often say: -Mormons are not Christian (Mormons are not traditional Protestant Christians, but they do still believe in the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ.) -Mormons are lying (Mormons honestly believe they are telling the truth) -Mormonism is a pyramid scheme (Mormons believe in paying a Tithe and in missions work to gain converts, but believe this is Biblically based and do not seek converts for monetary gain) -Mormons are unbiblical (Mormons believe that they are following the Bible very strictly, but the Bible can be interpreted differently by different people) -Mormonism is false (this is obviously just an opinion, but one that is often offensive to those who honestly believe)
Do Mormons get their own planet if they have 9 or more kids?
Mormons do not believe that quantity of kids has anything to do with salvation. Mormons have more than the average amount of kids because they believe in family. Mormons believe salvation consists of receving all that God has. The idea of Mormons receiving their own planet is a bit of saracsm that is pushed by those who do not like the church.
What do Mormons believe so strong?

Do the mormons believe that jesus died on a pole instead of a cross?
No, Mormons believe that Jesus was crucified on a cross, just like most other Christians. Mormons believe and study the Bible throughly, so the accounts there are what we believe.
