Is it correct that if an LDS questions the interpretations of “the prophet” they are excommunicated?

Yes, this is a real question, I have never heard this before. It seems very strange that a person would not be allowed their own thoughts without fear.

If a “magic Negro” like B. Hussain Obama can be the Dumbocrat nominee with his background in the “Trinity Church” (check its website) then a Mormon candidate should pass thru in a breeze./IMHO!

[Vigilanteman]

For the record, Mormons, Catholics, and Anglicans have no trouble separating the spiritual from the temporal.

Unlike the Huckster, candidate of the religious left, who will call anyone Unchristian who doesn't go along with his political agenda.

Or pardon convicted murderers if they "find Jesus." Even Forrest Gumpf had the brains to observe "I didn't know he was lost."

[”As Noah Feldman pointed out,” Moody pointed out, “since the days of founding Prophet Joseph Smith, Mormons have held their secrets close — including their ‘White Horse Prophecy:’ one day a Mormon leader will literally ride in to save the U.S. Constitution — and to transform America into the base for the institution of a world-wide Mormon theocracy. Since his college days, when I was Mitt’s fraternity brother at Brigham Young University,” Moody said, “Mitt’s made it clear to his intimates that he was pre-ordained to fulfill this prophecy, to become the Mormon President who would save our Constitution and transform America as Joseph Smith prophesied.]

Combined with the question of whether Mitt believes in Exaltation - whether he is becoming a God - this is a question that will hound a Romney presidency, like it or not.

Hell with that stuff; I want to hear more about the special underwear.....

Catholic and Mormon politicians have given this nation splendid public service, and given no hint of disloyalty or even confused priorities between their public responsibilities and their religious beliefs.

And both are very good workers and parents as well.

Thanks for posting this.

Romney the flip-flopper:

[Graybeard58]

"Swift-boating"

I know which side of politics a person is on by the way they use that term

It means telling the truth.

[JRochelle]

This post is inaccurate on one point. The jerks who went after Al Smith were not former Catholics.

That is the case with Romney though.

More on the story here.

I saw a special on Mormonism that was very disturbing. Especially the parts about “blood atonement” which seems very close to Muslim “honor killings”, and the lack of crosses on Mormon temples, and the frequency of inverted pentagrams. And of course the fictions of Joseph Smith and his and Brigham Young’s outrageous polygamy (supposedly bringing one close to becoming a God) and pedophilia.

[Spok]

So I guess we’re ready for a Muslim president, but not a Mormon (???) Letting the MSM control the debate on this topic may spell disaster for us all.

[blue state conservative]

I don’t know how he gets off saying he was frat brothers with Mitt Romney at BYU. BYU doesn’t have fraternities.

[Skenderbej]

In any case, Romney is bound by his faith to obey and uphold the law. From Mormon scripture:

Article of Faith #12

We believe in being asubject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

The Doctrine and Covenants Section 134

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/134

Basically, righteous governments are instituded by God and men should uphold those governments.

Inasmuch as Romney is subject to his God, and his God has said that Romney must uphold the law of the land (the U.S.), Romney is bound by God to follow the Constitution.

I would vote for Mitt in a heartbeat! I’m mainstream Protesant and regardless of his faith, remember, they gave us the Osmonds and the Morman Tab. Choir. The Great Oz Has Spoken.

[Spiff]

This, I believe, is the “big scandal” relating to Romney that has been brewing for weeks. Epic fail!

[redrock]

"Since his college days, when I was Mitt's fraternity brother at Brigham Young University....."

BYU does NOT have fraternities.

Obviously the author of the article is telling a LIE.

Just another false and misleading article in a long line of articles bashing a good people.

I'm waiting for the anti-LDS Nazi's to start on the Catholics (that would be me) and the Jews since neither of them agree with the so-called evangelical 'Christians' on many points of theology.

...also the Catholics have their share of 'funny clothes' as do the Jews.

Heck....Catholics have more Books in their Bible than those others. Guess that makes us evil too.

p.s....and I'll stick by my description of the anti-LDS as Nazi's. The similarities are fascinating.
