(Maybe "news" has been slow to reach you...the political hotspot stuff died down in Feb...unless you're a Democrat)
Otherwise, this is a news site as well as political & activism (as in new news).
Here Elder Ballard said just this week that he was glad Romney was in the news--that even controversial discussions were better than "apathy" (his word) about the church. He said he'd rather Mormonism be in the electronic & mainstream media than absentia from it. So which is it? (We're "apathetic" according to LDS leaders if we don't discuss Mormonism in our "national conversations"; but we're "obsessed"--your word--if we do discuss them).
Tell you what. Why don't you have a confab with your leaders & get on the same page...perhaps with a more moderate temperate position somewhere more in the middle where there's less of an accusatory posture by either your general authorities & by LDS reps like you. (Then we won't be as confused or offended by these new magnetic "missionary" tactics of yours)
In other words, you don’t have the capacity to talk about anything else but Mormons. All Mormons, all the time. Got it.
I’ll just leave you alone to do that.
Talk amongst yourselves.
May God bless you.
