How about this oath that his grandparents took. I wonder if they took their oaths seriously?

"You and each of you do covenant and promise that you will pray and never cease to pray to Almighty God to avenge the blood of the prophets upon this nation, and that you will teach the same to your children and to your children's children unto the third and fourth generation."

Did they teach Mitt to pray for God to avenge this nation? I hope that is one oath they broke.

Mitt, himself took this oath There was the accompanying chant of "I ______ promise not to reveal this, the first token of the Aaronic Priesthood along with it's accompanying name, sign, and penalty; rather than do so I would suffer . . . [raise right hand with extended thumb, palm down with thumb tip under left ear] . . . my life . . . [draw thumb across throat to right ear] . . . to be taken [drop right hand to side]. The officiator mentioned that these movements symbolized ways the life could be taken.

I’m the same age as Mitt. We never took any oath of vengeance. That is pure crap. Where are you getting your information?
