Will Mitt Romney fulfill a Mormon ‘prophecy’ and save the Constitution?

LA Times ^ | 10/29/2019 | Judith Freeman

Exactly, it was clear from the time that Romney was governor of Mass. that he was just another Eastern liberal. Then he practically caved his campaign against Obama. His son even came out after and said his dad didn’t even want the job. I tried to warn people here in Utah when he was running for Senate that he was a fraud when he slyly implied that he was a Trump supporter. What a loser. I predict he will be kicked out of office when he comes up for reelection, or he may just not run again. Here’s hoping anyway.

Mitt will be 77 or so his next election. It’s one thing to be that old and feel obligated to protect seniority, but as a junior senator, it might not be worth the effort.

I don’t know if your LDS or not, but what I hate is that all of the non-LDS people assume that we are in lock-step with Mitt Romney!

For some reason you can be catholic and not share Pelousi’s/Schumer’s politics .... but if you’re LDS then for some reason YOU MUST SHARE MIT ROMNEY’S POLITICS!

After seeing pics of the guy marching at a BLM rally .... I’m getting so that I can’t stand the look of the guy!

[MHGinTN]

I doubt anyone here is stamping you with Mitt’s whimpery.

[teppe]

MGHinTN

Thankyou, that is the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.

[MHGinTN]

If Mitt had your tenacity, he might have been president.

[Diogenesis]

Utah voted for the proven-creep, terrible Governor,
and imposer of RomneyCARE, but he was elected anyway.

Utahns share his backstabbing carpetbagging,
antiAmerican pro-whiteISIS politics.

[teppe]

I don’t care about Utahns .... I live in Wyoming!

What I’m talking about is the LDS people. I don’t know a single one that approves of Romney

[teppe]

awwww..... now you’re trying to choke me up! (jk).

Truthfully, MHGinTN regardless of our disagreements, you were the most impressive and (and respectful on occasion) that I butted heads against.

I admire your sincerity.

[Elsie]

...he believes he is to fulfill a Mormon prophecy …

There are three kinds of Mormon 'prophecies':

1. The sun will come up tomorrow.
2. Vague connectrions between some events and words a Mormon may have said at on e time or another.
3. Oh; that's will be fulfilled in the future.

[Elsie]

... but if you’re LDS then for some reason YOU MUST SHARE MIT ROMNEY’S POLITICS!

It may be due to teachings from headquarters such as the following:

 Improvement Era article from 1945:

When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan–it is God’s plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy. God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God.

[Elsie]

If Mitt had your tenacity, he might have been president.

Had not ELSIE been at all of his rallies...

[Elsie]

What I’m talking about is the LDS people. I don’t know a single one that approves of Romney

I wonder just who votes for him??

I don’t care about Utahns .... I live in Wyoming!

Cowboy Poetry

by Bill Jones

 

 

 

Jake, the rancher, went one day
to fix a distant fence.
The wind was cold and gusty
and the clouds rolled gray and dense.

As he pounded the last staples in
and gathered tools to go,
The temperature had fallen,
the wind and snow began to blow.

When he finally reached his pickup,
he felt a heavy heart.
From the sound of that ignition,
he knew it wouldn't start.

So Jake did what most of us
would do if we had been there.
He humbly bowed his balding head
and sent aloft a prayer.

As he turned the key for the last time,
he softly cursed his luck.
They found him three days later,
frozen stiff in that old truck.

Now Jake had been around in life
and done his share of roaming.
But when he saw Heaven, he was shocked --
it looked just like Wyoming!

Of all the saints in Heaven,
his favorite was St. Peter.
(Now, this line ain't needed
but it helps with rhyme and meter)

So they set and talked a minute or two,
or maybe it was three.
Nobody was keeping' score --
in Heaven time is free.

"I've always heard," Jake said to Pete,
"that God will answer prayer,
But one time I asked for help,
well, he just plain wasn't there."

"Does God answer prayers of some,
and ignore the prayers of others?
That don't seem exactly square --
I know all men are brothers."

"Or does he randomly reply,
without good rhyme or reason?
Maybe, it's the time of day,
the weather or the season."

"Now I ain't trying to act smart,
it's just the way I feel.
And I was wondering', could you tell me --
what the heck's the deal?!"

Peter listened very patiently
and when Jake was done,
There were smiles of recognition,
and he said, "So, you're the one!!"

"That day your truck, it wouldn't start,
and you sent your prayer a flying,
You gave us all a real bad time,
with hundreds of us trying."

"A thousand angels rushed,
to check the status of your file,
But you know, Jake, we hadn't heard
from you in quite a long while."

"And though all prayers are answered,
and God ain't got no quota,
He didn't recognize your voice,
and started a truck in Minnesota."

Thanks Elsie ... but just because I live in Wyoming, doesn’t mean that I’m into cowboy poetry.

[teppe]

Elsie .... Sometimes you surprise me.

Just about the time when I peg you for my arch-enemy, you do something that shows that you have at least half of a heart.

The truth is, we all have much to learn about God. The best we can do is to love him and follow his commandments in order to keep our hearts pure so that we can receive inspiration from him line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little until we receive his grace and meet him face to face.

[Elsie]

I like the stories that are told as well as the cadence of some of the stanzas.

[Elsie]

The truth is, we all have much to learn about God.

It sure helps to look in the right places for that information.

I'll have to disagree.

WE receive His grace BEFORE we can learn of Him.

Can An Unbeliever Understand the Bible?

 

God's Word itself gives us the answer, and the reason.

Is the unbeliever who stands in a pulpit or teaches in a seminary classroom able to expound Scripture with understanding?

Is your unsaved friend, neighbor, or family member truly able to understand the Word?

 

First Corinthians 2:14 gives us the answer, and the reason:

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Do you know when Joseph Smith felt that he had gone along the path long enough to finally decide the he was; indeed; saved by Jesus?
