It is very important to understand that I have a source used by MSNBC that alleges a 9/11 hijacker has been baptized by Mormon church.

I’m ... I’m almost starting to think that John King prefers Democrats over Republicans!

What will happen when the unaware public learns that Mitt is actually “Bishop Romney” that is expected to become at least the Mormon equivalent of a Cardinal after this is over, and who’s father was a Bishop, and who’s uncle was in line to become their Pope, (he died).

So far the media has protected Mitt and acted like he was just a guy that happened to be Mormon, they have not revealed yet that the Romney’s are Mormon Royalty and power, and the suppliers of tens of millions of dollars to Mormonism.

I still dabble in genealogy a bit, and I saw this entry about my great grandmother:

"Sarah Bishop died on 29 January 1917. She was baptized in the LDS church on 1 April 1958. She received her endowment on 22 May 1958."

I know she was never Morman. She was not famous, so why did they pick her to do this?

[skinkinthegrass]

that's very strange, talk about "padding" your numbers!
why do they (lds) do this?...all the way back to pre-history.

[Praxeologue]

Wake up, Republicans!

Maybe some Mormons could help me out here - I thought murder was an unforgivable sin - so would any known, certain murderer like Hitler be posthumously baptized?

[Revolting cat!]

Well, great, my late Jewish grandfather looked toward talking to him in the afterlife.

Let me know when they get to Obama.

Is this done alphabetically?

Mormon aren’t Christian and neither is Romney!

From the article: About one week later, the Independent, MSNBC, and Yahoo News all reported that the iconic diarist and heroine, Nazi-era Anne Frank had been posthumously baptized nine times by the Mormon church.

Wait a minute. Does this mean if Anne Frank's rejected becoming a Mormon nine times, but Hitler accepted on his single offer, Hitler is "saved" Mormon-style but Anne Frank isn't?

And nine times? (Talk about overkill -- not a word far off the literal application here...given that Mormons believe those who accept "salvation" post death don't get to live forether with Heavenly Father.)

(So much for the Mormon heaven being actual heaven!)

From the article: About one week later, the Independent, MSNBC, and Yahoo News all reported that the iconic diarist and heroine, Nazi-era Anne Frank had been posthumously baptized nine times by the Mormon church. Yahoo News cleverly segued from this story to an unrelated story about a Romney comment during a Republican debate, in what appeared to be an attempt to subtly connect the two stories.

Wait a minute, Ben. Why do you make the bad assumption that Romney's Mormonism -- baptism of the dead & all -- is somehow "unrelated" to his political run?

What? Are you trying to hermetically seal his other-worldly worldviews from public inspection? If so, why?

Mormon baptism of the dead is no obscure tucked-away belief or practice.

Here...allow yourself to become more educated on where Mormons see baptism of the dead ranking amongst all their other teachings:

Lds founding “prophet” Joseph Smith:
“The GREATEST RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS WORLD that God has placed upon us is to SEEK AFTER OUR DEAD.” (Joseph Smith, Jr., Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 356)

Lds “prophet” Wilford Woodruff, who had the Mormon power to begin turning off the valve of polygamy:
“There is hardly any principle the Lord has revealed that I have rejoiced more in than in the redemption of our dead…” (Teachings of Presidents: Wilford Woodruff, pp. 192-193)

LDS ‘scripture’: …It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect.” (Lds doctrines & covenants 128:18)

And no "perfection" in the Mormon church, no celestial kingdom (highest degree of Mormon heaven). No celestial kingdom, no "family is forever"...NO Heavenly Father, either. And no godhood. And no own planet, either.

Why...that's going o-for-4 -- to use a common baseball phrase.

Yup. Romney might be DAILY ASKED all about his own involvement in baptizing dead people -- given that it's Mitt's "greatest responsibility" to perform in this life...and that he, like the "prophet" before him, is to "rejoice" in it!
