“Years ago I read several books about Mormons and Mormonism and it is the history of the sect that is off putting. Joseph Smith found golden tablets from God and then he lost them before he could show them to anyone else? The members of his sect were encouraged to have multiple wives?”

Unfortunately, Ditter, those books led you astray. What you’ve described is a grain of truth wrapped in distortions. Would you like some resources that present the other side of the issue?

Being LDS, I’m only too happy to help dispell misconception such as these, for those who are interested in learning.

Excuse me. Those are distortions? Read my tagline, please. Because those facts are certainly not distortions, they are FACTS!

Did Joseph Smith find gold tablets and then lose them? Did JS advocate polygamy? If the answer is yes then I just find the history of your religion a little weird and hard to swallow but then I don’t have to.

If Romney is the republican candidate, I will have no problem voting for him. I respect Mormons for the upstanding citizens they are now but I don’t need the books, thanks.
