All the Mormons I’ve worked with have been upstanding people.
Their welfare system is very good.
“While our politicians like to battle with each other about the efficiency and future of these programs, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (”the LDS Church” or “Mormons”) has successfully managed a fully funded, non-governmental program for more than 76 years”
Well duh, they require 10 percent of your income pre-tax, pre-any kind of spending on essentials, not to mention all the “volunteer” work they call their people to do in their businesses or other economic ventures.
And now know of a couple that are fake's.
Funny how things go..isn't it?
I know of one who is running for President. He invented ObamaCare and is a pathological liar. Funny how things go, indeed.
That was before I was saved from the cult by Christ.
Unfortunately, for Romney to win the votes of Christians, what will first happen is that conservative writers, radio hosts, columnists, social conservative leaders, all of our talking heads, thinkers, and millions of rank and file conservatives and Christians will be drawn into the largest collection of, the most diverse collection of, the most creative collection of Mormon apologists, in history.
Mormonism will be daily rationalized, ways to smooth over Christian concerns will be thought of and delivered on the air waves, just as Hugh Hewitt and Michael Medved already do. Limbaugh and others will fall into a daily routine of countering and defeating Christian protests against Mormonism. New creative thoughts and reasoning will come from National Review, and Fox
The right will be sucked into becoming the foot soldiers of mainstreaming and rationalizing Mormonism.
And how they do beat you over the head with it too.....
Won't get into, and I don't think you really won't to go there...how the D & C is "canonized".
BTW...let's talk about the probable 40-60 BILLION dollars that LDS, Inc. has.
Starman417...why don't you start asking where these monies are...and what is LDS, Inc. doing with them?
They certainly aren't giving 10% away....not even close.
Just like mormonism is Christ+ to get to heaven, membership is an audited 10% +.
Good article.
Thanks for posting here.
“Funny...I’ve worked with one that was a cheat...and another that was a racist.”
The ones I’ve worked with are so conservative they make typical conservatives look liberal. They don’t smoke or drink and have some very strict rules.
Funny isn't it?
One of the good mormon's..I liked and was friends with until he found out I was a Christian...One day he gruffly asked me..what was so SPECIAL about JESUS!!??
I started looking into mormonism then....and figured out why he was antagonistic towards me..and Christ.
Take care....
NhNoNuts, can you stop stalking me across the forum just because you disagree with me and want Akin destroyed?
Instead of bashing Mormons, more religious groups need to COPY their model. Instead of just setting up food banks, set up food banks and canneries and farms and require productive action in return for help.
Yeah...the ones I worked with didn’t smoke or drink around me...But bragged about cheating others, and their church...and one was a racist prick and a “bishop”..besides “being an nice guy” to most of his co-worker’s.

Sorry, I just don’t believe these are your experiences. It goes totally against all my experiences with Mormons.
Of course if your co-workers were all your fellow prisoners working with you in the laundry of the Salt Lake City jail, maybe it could be true. Of course, I don’t believe you were incarcerated in the Salt Lake City jail either.
My kids hung around with the Mormon kids in high school since they did not drink or do any drugs. The Mormon families of these kids seemed very nice and tolerant of all religions/faiths. My daughter did a Young Life Christian lock-in overnight event and invited a Mormon classmate/friend. Much to my surprise, her Mormon classmate was allowed to attend.
Thru my children’s friendships with Mormon classmates, I have become friends fairly good friends with a couple of the Mormon families, and they seem to be non-judgemental and quite accepting of all regardless of differing faiths. Perhaps it varies depending on their particular area/region?
Shouldnt this thread be in the Religion Forum ???
