Conservative Mormons Revolt Against Donald Trump
Buzz Feed ^ | October 9, 2016 | McKay Coppins

Posted on 10/10/2016 8:02:24 AM PDT by C19fan

The leaked video of Donald Trump’s lecherous musings had only been on the internet for a few hours Friday when the Mormon backlash began. “I’m out,” Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz told a local news anchor in Salt Lake City. “I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine.” The interview made Chaffetz the first Republican in Congress to officially retract his endorsement of Trump, and by next day he would be joined by dozens of his colleagues across the country. But in Utah, conservative Mormons were already mounting a wide-scale revolt against their party’s nominee — a repudiation so swift and severe that some GOP insiders believe the deep-red state could be thrown into contention in the final weeks of the race.

“All Churches don’t push this but the ones making big bucks surely do. You may have noticed that we now have a Pope that is Communits through and through since that was also one of the Communist goals.”

Yes, many of them, most especially the Catholics, push the Communist Agenda. These churches use the Communist/Socialist “model,” telling us it’s O.K. because “jesus” will be our “leader.”

Mormons get a much better deal.

Unless they happen to have an original thought, then they get the "Doctrine of Blood Atonement" ride.

I read a quote from somewhere that “Mormonism is Islam for White People.”

Agree with what you say. I am a ‘cradle’ Episcopalian. After the Episcopal church went off the Left wing deep end, I then considered myself a traditional Anglican. Now am just fed up with all organized religion and their endless sausage-making. My church didn’t even miss me for months until the quarterly pledge receipts report was being prepared and there was a big Zero by my name. Then the phone calls came. “Where are you?”...which really meant “Where is your money?”

Mormons, Jews, Catholics, WCC protestants — their high percentage Democrat voting is so self-destructive to their so-called faiths. Lost souls.

IMO, anyone not voting for Trump is a TRAITOR!! Those voting for Hillary are voting for the destruction of the USA as we know it. Bend over and grab your ankles, when Hillary gets finished with our military, we won’t be able to defend ourselves from the terrorism knocking at our doors and the ones Zero, Kerry, Hillary, and the gutless Congress already shoved down our throats who are already here with their hatred and diseases they’ve brought.

I researched that cult years ago. The more I read the scarier they became. It’s a truly evil cult and, even though they try to masquerade as “Christian”, there is absolutely nothing Christian about them.

These people are idiots. They keep putting a moron like Hatch in year after year. Romney, another idiot, who is also a mormon, tells them not to vote for Trump, and they don’t.

Maybe I am looking at this all wrong.

If Trump looses, Hillary will NOT pack SCOTUS and the lower courts with anti-Constitutional leftists. Terrorist will NOT infiltrate the thousands of illegals coming in from Mexico or all the unvetted refugees she wants to bring in. Obamacare WILL rise from the ashes, perfect and economical. Hillary will not succeed in disarming Americans. And if SHE tries, the COURAGEOUS AND PRINCIPLED REPUBLICANS WILL RISE UP AND STAND BRAVELY IN HER PATH!!!

AND, IN 2020, THE REPUBLICANS WILL SELECT THE PURE UNSULLIED, IDEOLOGICALLY PERFECT CONSERVATIVE, and the entire menagerie of Republican bankster, Wall Street and crony capitalist suck ups will unite behind the PERFECT candidate, the mainstream media will have NOTHING TOTALLY IRRELEVANT to attack him or her over, the wise and well-informed American public will vote him or her into office and we will live happily ever after!!!!!

Excuse me now, it’s time for me to put on my tin hat and go outside to count flying saucers and take pictures of Sasquatch.

--------------------------------------------------------

"The Biblical passage the LDS Church uses to validate their political organization is Daniel 2:31-45, which describes a stone which is to roll through the whole earth and destroy all other governments. Verse 44 is quoted often:

"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. (v. 44 KJV)

While the general membership interpret Daniel’s vision as the LDS Church and its theology, Joseph Smith actually taught that the stone referred to the political system, The Kingdom of God.

President John Taylor describes how Mormon leaders expect their world rule:

The priesthood will be the only legitimate ruling power under the whole heavens; for every other power and influence will be subject to it. When the millennium... is introduced all potentates, powers, and authorities-every man, woman, and child will be in subjection to The Kingdom of God; they will be under the power and dominion of the priesthood of God. (11)

Brigham Young said:

"We are called the State Legislature [of Utah], but when the time comes, we shall be called The Kingdom of God, political. . . . For the time will come when we will give laws to the nations of the earth. (12)

In more modern times, Apostle Bruce R. McConkie, in Mormon Doctrine, reaffirms the agenda:

During the millennium . . . the church . . . will have the rule and government of the world given to it. (13)

The Political Agenda of the Mormon church

I run into a lot of Mormon missionaries in my area. I carry a card where on one side is their belief and on the other side the Christian belief. It’s interesting that when I’m approached and they launch into their spiel and I have my rebuttal card all set.

I dislike holier.than.thou people.

(Hmmm...doesn't that make you & your "Amen-ers" on this thread appear to come across as 'holier-than-the-alleged-holier-than-thous"???)

Nope. I have seen politicians who appear to be something they are not. They are very critical of mistakes others make and they make/or made worse ones. I am the least judgmental person around. We all make mistakes. No one is perfect. That is why Trump's tape did not bother me. I do not use words like that but this was years ago. I have heard worse on tv, sad to say. There is one TV show which I like except for the language. I turn the sound off. My high school English teacher said using language like that is not very bright but it happens.

Where it the world did you get the idea that I was an “Amen-er?” You have me confused with someone else. P.S. I don’t do “snake handling” either.

Well, perhaps you meant post #51 in some other way than the obvious face value look. (?)
