This is a lie espoused by Romnulens, to make his Mormonism somehow less offensive. Eisenhowers PARENTS were JW.
Eisenhower’s family originally belonged to the local River Brethren sect of the Mennonites. However, when Ike was five years old, his parents became followers of the WatchTower Society, whose members later took the name Jehovah’s Witnesses.
All of the Eisenhower boys left the Jehovah’s Witness religion when adults and openly opposed major aspects of Watchtower teaching.
Eisenhower was baptized, confirmed, and became a communicant in the Presbyterian Church in a single ceremony on February 1, 1953, just 12 days after his first inauguration.

Eisenhower wasn’t a practicing JW. In fact, if you judge by ones parents then I am perhaps the most Mormon poster on all of FR.
~”This is a lie espoused by Romnulens...”~
It is not a lie. It is a fact. You have stated as much. When he was elected Eisenhower was a Jehovah’s Witness.
It’s very strange to me that you would choose to call this objective fact a lie. Yes, Eisenhower converted shortly after his term started. It also appears that he was never a devout JW. But that does not make the assertion that he was a JW when he was elected a lie.
How many more objective facts do you choose to dismiss as lies because they don’t support your view of things?
Ahhh. thank you for clarifying that

1. How you interpret it is wrong...
