order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.

Do I understand you correctly that you are suggesting that alcohol and tobacco are wholesome foods that God has ordained for us?

Yikes! This will hurt Mitt, considering Mitt was a 31 year old man when the LDS Church officially granted the priesthood to blacks.

He has some tough answers to give.

[Elsie]

MIND-READING ALERT!

Eh... no problem...

Not in the RLIGION area; YET!

(Just wait 'til SOMEone shows up and whines...)

Romney’s Mormonism should not be an issue, any more than JFK’s Catholicism was a proper issue.

[Elsie]

That is simply name-calling and not addressing any issue.

HEY!!

You are NOT supposed to notice!!!

Just get angry and get diverted from what ever truth (Oooops! I meant LIE) you have posted showing one of our Leaders® saying.

--MormonDude(you can't distract me! [wanna cracker?] )

[Elsie]

I rarely visit the religion section.

I can see why!

[Elsie]

My stake president TOLD me that we NEVER ‘practiced’ Blood Atonement and, dagnabbit, I believe him!

—MormonDude(we are peaceful folk)

[Elsie]

There are plenty of similar accounts, plus we are quoting Brigham Young directly.

No fair!!!

Why won't you answer MY questions?

WHY won't you defend against the charges I bring??

--MormonDude(gettin' hot under the collar!)

[Elsie]

You take the time to accuse me of ignorance yet fail to actually have the guts to point our where the ignorant statement is.

Yup!!

There's a LOT of that goin' on!

[Elsie]

You’d better call for Grig or Delphiuser or even ol’ R***y to help you out.

Them guys are ganging up on you!

—MormonDude(I got yer back!)

Do I understand you correctly that you are suggesting that alcohol and tobacco are wholesome foods that God has ordained for us?

Do I understand you correctly that you are suggesting that HOT chocolate and COLD Coca-Cola® are BIG thbings we MUST avoid?

[Elsie]

Big - bad

[broncobilly]

No they don’t.

Avoid them if you wish. A lot of Mormons enjoy them.

[broncobilly]

The only difficult thing about this is that is is waisting my time.

"Mr. Hale told Joseph, if he would move to Pennsylvania and work for a living, he would assist him in getting into business. Joseph acceded to this proposition. I then returned with Joseph and his wife to Manchester. One circumstance occurred on the road, worthy of notice, and I believe this is the only instance where Jo ever exhibited true yankee wit. On our journey to Pennsylvania, we could not make the exact change at the toll gate near Ithaca. Joseph told the gate tender, that he would "hand" him the toll on his return, as he was coming back in a few days. On our return, Joseph tendered to him 25 cents, the toll being 12 1/2. He did not recognize Smith, so he accordingly gave him back the 12 1/2 cents. After we had passed the gate, I asked him if he did not agree to pay double gatage on our return? No, said he, I agreed to "hand" it to him, and I did, but he handed it back again."

And a lot of the people pointing the finger were a short time ago demanding separate water fountains, rest rooms, and schools.

[And a lot of the people pointing the finger were a short time ago demanding separate water fountains, rest rooms, and schools. ]

So, you are claiming we are racists as well? The racial question had been well settled politically by 1978 and by most denominations well before that. The Mormons only made the change because they were forced to.

[colorcountry]

Yes siree, and a grand poobah in the KKK during 1978 would also be called upon to answer his own bigotry. Just as a member of the Bishopric in the racist LDS Church during 1978 (as Mitt was) should be called upon to answer.
