The daughter of a Latter Day Saints bishop and author of a book on Mitt Romney’s Mormonism says that she has concerns about a Romney presidency.
Tricia Erickson, who is now a professing Christian after being involved in the LDS establishment for 21 years, stated in an article this week entitled The Obamney Twins that while she cannot support Barack Obama, she is unable to vote for Mitt Romney either.
“To me, as a conservative, a Republican and a Christian, I cannot justify a vote for either one of the Obamney baby-killing, annihilators of the family, government healthcare mandated to take over our economy socialist evil twins – and be right with our Creator,” she wrote.
Erickson pointed out that neither seek to ban abortion, and both have shown support for homosexuality.
“Republicans say that they have to vote for Romney because we are losing our country to socialism and after another four years of Obama, there will be nothing left of America. I can’t say that I disagree,” she said. “However, what is never talked about is that Romney has his own goals for the Mormon Church [and] The Mormon Plan for America, and while he is cunning and a good debater, he lacks the judgment to discern that he will not become a ‘god’ in his next life and receive his own planet.”
Erickson has been making the rounds on various talk shows and has been featured in news publications for at least the past year, discussing her concerns with Mormonism and a potential Romney presidency.
“While he attempts to portray Mormonism as just another Christian religion, Mitt Romney counts on his skills to shift our attention away from what he truly believes,” she wrote in her book Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America.
“It’s like our eyes are glazed over when it comes to the religion of Mitt Romney,” Erickson told talk show host Thomas Hartmann in further discussing the matter. “If you just knew what Mitt Romney believed, you would run far away from this candidate.”
Erickson states that she grew up in a devout Mormon household, and was even married in the LDS temple according to mandated rituals. However, she laments many things that she observed and was subjected to.
“It was horrific,” she told WND. “There I was standing naked [at my wedding]. They brought this bowl of water and started washing my body down, and whispering prayers over my body. They stopped over the right and left breast, the navel and knees and prayed specific prayers.”
Erickson stated that because Mitt Romney is a dedicated Mormon, he espouses beliefs that are very concerning, including that Jesus was not born of a virgin, that Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers, and that Romney will one day become one of many deities.
“Mitt Romney truly, unequivocally believes that when he dies, he is going to become a god in Heaven,” she said. “He is going be given his own kingdom/planet. He will be able to call his wife Ann by the secret name that is only given to him in the Mormon secret ceremonies … When he calls her on to his planet, they will have relations to populate the planet with spirit children, as they believe our God has a wife on His planet, and He did the same, and they believe that we are our God’s spirit children from our god mother and god father.”
“So, all of us here on earth, we existed in a pre-existence with God as a spirit baby, then we came down and inhabited these little babies’ bodies that are here on the earth,” Erickson continued, explaining LDS beliefs. “[This was done] so that we could go through our process to venture into godhood.”
She said that there has been a longstanding agenda in the LDS establishment to place Mormons into governmental offices.
“[The LDS establishment has] been trying since the beginning to get someone in the presidency, because they believe they have to establish their authority so when Jesus comes to earth, the Mormon Church will take control of the government and the Mormons will be the government of God on earth,” Erickson explained.
“They believe that when Jesus comes back to earth in the millennium, that He’s going to come to Jackson County, Missouri, which that’s where they believe the Garden of Eden is,” she added.
Former Mormons Dennis and Rauni Higley of H.I.S. Ministries International in Salt Lake City, Utah concur that these indeed are the beliefs of the LDS establishment. They provided Christian News Network with written outlines of their concerns surrounding what is called the “White Horse Prophesy.”
“From its very beginning, the Mormon plan for America has been to have a Mormon president lead this nation and ultimately the world,” they stated. “The so-called ‘White Horse Prophecy’ of Joseph Smith has been referred to often as a destiny of the Mormon priesthood in saving the United States. This ‘prophecy’ predicts that U.S. government will one day hang as if by a single thread and Mormon elders will step in and save it.”
Erickson said that in Mormon ceremonies, participants must swear to keep secret what goes on behind closed doors. She advised that in rituals that she was involved with, she observed people being forced to make gestures signifying their death if they revealed what takes place.
“They actually had us [symbolically] slashing our guts open and our guts falling to the ground if we told people of the secret dogma of the ceremonies,” she stated.
When asked how Erickson knows that Romney espouses these same beliefs, she replied that Romney has long had high ranking in the LDS establishment, holding office as bishop like her father, and working as a Mormon missionary in France for a time.
“You cannot get more Mormon than Mitt Romney,” she stated. “And I have been through the same temple ceremonies … to follow the church first before anything else.”
“To my way of thinking the idiosyncrasies of Mormon belief and practice are not the issue; Catholic belief in transubstantiation and Protestant belief in the resurrection [of Jesus] can be made to look silly, too,” Romney told CNN last year after being informed of Erickson’s writings and speeches against him.
Because of these concerns, in Erickson’s article this week, she noted that many will vote third party this year or skip the presidential race on the ballot.
“Some have said that they will simply not vote for either establishment candidate, [but] instead, in protest, will write-in another name or candidate if they will vote at all,” she wrote. “I, and approximately 90 million Americans, agree with Charles Spurgeon who says, ‘Of two evils, choose neither.’”
Yup. As Spurgeon said, "Of two evils, choose neither."
So in other words, it’s better to have another 4 years of Obama?
At this juncture, that’s the alternative. The only alternative.
From the article: “While he attempts to portray Mormonism as just another Christian religion, Mitt Romney counts on his skills to shift our attention away from what he truly believes,” she wrote in her book Can Mitt Romney Serve Two Masters? The Mormon Church Versus the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America. “It’s like our eyes are glazed over when it comes to the religion of Mitt Romney,” Erickson told talk show host Thomas Hartmann in further discussing the matter. “If you just knew what Mitt Romney believed, you would run far away from this candidate.” Erickson states that she grew up in a devout Mormon household, and was even married in the LDS temple according to mandated rituals.

Either Obama or Romney will be the next President. There is no third choice.
Expect lots of this for the next three weeks. Obama has nothing else.
Obama is despicably evil:

A feeble attempt by a fruitcake to damage the Christian vote.
Billy Graham endorsed Mitt for crying out loud!
The Obama campaign thanks you for your anti-Mormon bigotry.
I am a conservative Christian. If I choose to vote for neither Obama nor Romney, that will not change this unshakable fact: One of the two of them will be the President the next 4 years.
Which of the two of them are more aligned with my world view? Romney, without question.
I will vote for him with enthusiasm and a clear conscience.
If Romney has been foisted upon us (and personally, I think he HAS been), then we've been foisted.
And if the lesser of two evils ... Commands and dictates against smoking and drinking is not as bad as submit or die.
I don’t disagree with what you say about Mormonism. But unless you want to pull a couple of votes toward Obama (by encouraging people to sit it out), I suggest putting it on hold until November 7th. Then have at it.
It’s a good thing our Founding Fathers established a system of checks-and-balances and a division of power to help ensure that one man’s religion (or anti-religion) does not hold much of a sway over the country, if the people so choose.
He lives his life to accomplish his own personal desires .. spiritual and physical.
Muslims live to kill and die.
Choose ye this day.
For at least FREEPERS in all but a handful of states, sure there is!
These days, it's really looking like there's only a handful of true swing states: Ohio, Colorado, Wisconsin, New Hampshire. Some would add Iowa, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia all look solidly Romney now. Nevada and New Mexico are lost to Obama.
FREEPERs in the rest of the states (beyond those first 7 mentioned) should readily vote for Virgil Goode.
In the blue states, Romney has no shot of winning. Voting for Romney in those states has the same utilitarian effect as voting for Goode.
As for the red states in the South, Midwest, and Mormon West, Romney will win those states easily. If 100% of FREEPERs voted third party, there's still no way Obama could win ANY of those states.
I would say, then, as of now, FR residents of 43 states have a clear choice...and that could edge upward as the polls show greater shifts closer to the election.
“So in other words, it’s better to have another 4 years of Obama?”
Cliche line we’ve heard 1 million times or more.
But Muslim murderous scum presidency is ok
MARKER
“Billy Graham endorsed Mitt for crying out loud!”
Billy Graham has also endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Your move.
See post #14 as to why it's relevant NOW for residents in over 40 states.
Covered that already. See post #6. Click on the first link in that post, it takes you a thread about Obama's Wahhabi relatives that I posted today.
