I am proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I too am a member of the LDS church. In fact I'm technically a High Priest. I was ordained such on my 28th birthday in 1999. But I do see that the Mitt's membership in the LDS church is causing him some problems in his presidential bid. He's been a Bishop and Stake President so he's definitely deep in it. And frankly I think he'd be a great U.S. President. But he's hampered by the mistrust that people have towards the church. Why this mistrust? Because the church's history is so new/recent and full of problems. Look how Brigham Young covered up the Mountain Meadow Massacre. Today the church still won't admit the obvious facts in this incident. As a boy I was misled in Seminary on the facts. Look how they cover up their involvement in polygamy. How many church members know that Wilford Woodruff and his son Owen Woodruff (a member of the Quorum of the Twelve) took additional plural wives after 1890? How many know that Spencer W. Kimball's father-in-law took additional wives after 1890? So did Mitt Romney's great-grandfather Miles. The gospel says that if you make a mistake that you must repent. Well I agree and it starts with church historians doing this.

I am sorry in order to have a cover up you have to have facts, and we are still wondering about the details I think to say things like that, is only your opinion.

We seem to have all of kinds of speculations about one side and nil of what provoke this?

It should have not happen if those involved had listen to council from Brigham Young to wait on the Lord. Those involved not only defied Brigham Young they showed little faith in the Lord to take council.

It you study history of the Church you will see a pattern and what happen at MMM is foreign to the pattern.

So to blame Brigham Young when in the pass he follows the pattern of trusting in the Lord is too accused Brigham Young of not having faith in the Lord.

If you knew anythink about the Church “proud or pride” is carefully used and what is this technically terminology?

I am convert and was converted by the power of the Holy Spirit so there is nothing technically about it!

Unless you are one of those who never had a testimony?

Beware of Pride
