Our White House has been residence to Unitarians, at least one likely Deist, and multiple Freemasons. Is Romney’s Mormonism really any weirder?

Yea, missed that, normally anything mentioning mormonism is either started in or moved to the religion forum.
What old anti-mormons, most people didn’t give a whit about mormonism until they insisted on calling themselves Christians. mormonism is not Christianity.
Given what mormonism teaches about Judaism, it is curious as to why you defend them.
I am not relied up, its you that keep claiming hate - just saying.
oh - no choice. I stand corrected. That is brilliant of he/she/it - thanks!
Billy Graham disagrees with you.
Billy Graham disagrees with you.
Please check out what Billy Graham has to say lately. Thank you. Hint: Billy Graham disagrees with svcw and the other anti Mormons on this site.
Your Mormon lying is on display.
Not Billy Graham, nor the Catholic church, nor any Protestant church , nor the Orthodox, no one has changed their teaching on Mormonism.
Graham’s site has temporarily removed the wording explaining that Mitt is a cult member because of the election, that’s all.
Billy Graham and all Christians still know that Mormonism is not a Christian religion, but is instead a bizarre, brainwashing cult.
Oh, Sandy not this again.
I am not anti-mormon I am anti-mormonISM.
All BG did was take down his reference to mormonism as a cult, because it had become a political issue.
All BG did was say we need to return to Biblical values, he never mentioned Romney by name.
If you are talking about something other than that, please provide a link.
Oh, Judaism can hold its own. They don’t really sweat the small stuff.
But the hate thing is fairly well-established, if you look at it - even the old-skool antimormons signed legislation for the “extermination of mormons” resulting in a load of dead mormons. Generally not a very bright chapter in American history.
ah, Nope.
Here is the letter, so often quoted. “Extermination” was a word used for removing not eliminating as it is currently used, and only about half of the mormons followed their leaders out, the rest stayed and just mined their own business.
mormonISM revisionist history to make it more persecuted, is a main stay. Also remember they were trying by force to take over the government.
Headquarters of the Militia,
City of Jefferson, Oct. 27, 1838.
Gen. John B. Clark:
Sir:–Since the order of this morning to you, directing you to cause four hundred mounted men to be raised within your Division, I have received by Amos Rees, Esq. of Ray county, and Wiley C. Williams, Esq. one of my aids, information of the most appalling character, which entirely changes the face of things, and places the Mormons in the attitude of an open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this State. Your orders are, therefore, to hasten your operations with all possible speed. The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the state if necessary for the public peace–their outrages are beyond all description. If you can increase your force, you are authorized to do so to any extent you may consider necessary. I have just issued orders to Maj. Gen. Willock, of Marion county, to raise five hundred men, and to march them to the northern part of Daviess, and there unite with Gen Doniphan, of Clay, who has been ordered with five hundred men to proceed to the same point for the purpose of intercepting the retreat of the Mormons to the north. They have been directed to communicate with you by express, you can also communicate with them if you find it necessary. Instead therefore of proceeding as at first directed to reinstate the citizens of Daviess in their homes, you will proceed immediately to Richmond and then operate against the Mormons. Brig. Gen. Parks, of Ray, has been ordered to have four hundred of his Brigade in readiness to join you at Richmond. The whole force will be placed under your command.
I am very respectfully,
your ob’t serv’t,
L. W. Boggs, Commander-in-Chief
Cite the specific incident where a "load" of mormons were killed as a direct result of the order. (crickets)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_Executive_Order_44
As for the number, what I remember is 23, before the order was rescinded. In the scale of things in that conflict, I think it qualifies as a load.
Of course, as things move on, I expect enemy re-editors hashing out their differences on wiki, which is kind of an amusing spectacle all by itself.
Again - documentation of that number 23. No, that doesn’t qualify as a “load” by a long shot.
What specific murders took place under the official direct authority of EO 44 hardy.
Now, we’re not on firstname basis, zilly - although I’m pleased that I can add a new name to the antimormon pantheon here.
But I’m not really interested in debating the meaning of “is” with you. Maybe your ilk was simply out to move the Mormons to madagascar, like Hitler claimed for *his* extermination orders.
However, I see that there are some namelists for your massacres readily at hand, and doubtless we’ll find the rest.
Sorry; but the BoM contains nearly NOTHING that finds it's way into MormonISM's vast amount of rules and regulations.
How about a nice verse from D&C 98?
Right around verse 31, I think:
Nevertheless, thine enemy is in thine hands; and if thou rewardest him according to his works thou art justified; if he has sought thy life, and thy life is endangered by him, thine enemy is in thine hands and thou art justified.
Christians have never expressed a desire beyond the constitution to have a theocracy (no matter what the left says - they are just projecting), however Joesph Smith and his posse stated, wrote about and tried to take over the US government because they wanted mormonism law ruling/running the country.
...the presidential campaign of Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1844: “Challenging Democrat James Polk and Whig Henry Clay, Smith prophesied that if the U.S. Congress did not accede to his demands that ‘they shall be broken up as a government and God shall damn them.’
Smith viewed capturing the presidency as part of the mission of the church.
(Just think if BHO had sat for 20 years; listening to this man's sermons!!)
Bingo!
Therefore, any THINKING person can SEE that MORMONism is not (and WAS not) the PERFECT church that Jesus supposedly instituted.
It CANNOT be preaching the 'RESTORED' gospel; but a FALSE gospel: Just as the BIBLE has warned against.
SURELY you have NOT skipped over reply #47 in this thread!
Have you??
Huh?
What CHOICE?
Is I. R. Strawman a Democrat, Republican or Libertarian??

Sounds like an archaic wording of the "Stand Your Ground" law.
All it's saying is that you are allowed to respond against someone who has demonstrated an intent to kill you. So?
