Ever heard of the Mountain Meadows massacre? Until the Oklahoma city bombing it was the worst domestic terror attack on American soil. Sept. 11th, 1857:

Recently watched the movie September Dawn, very interesting. To this day the LDS will not acknowledge Brigham Young’s responsibility in ordering that attack.
Yes, I’m aware of that.
However, for the present, I still think Mormon’s present less of a danger than muslims.
When I learned about the Planet Kolob, all my bias just melted away, and chocolate rainbows appeared in the sky.

And yet SO many MORMONs on FR go absolutely BALLISTIC when Facts & History about their religious Organization come to light.
I guess that PROFESSORS know more than the mere rank&file types we get here.
(Emma to Joseph:)
"You tell me that you've taken yet another man's wife and I'LL remove the stigma that's attached to you!"
The REAL question is why MORMONs do not try to misdirect the Conservative dislike about Reid as a HATRED of Mormons like they do Mitt.
JS tried to perfect the BED jumping; but it cost him dearly in the end...
No mention of MORMONism...
The ELSIETHON moves on...
Be better informed about traditional Christianity, from former Christians

And Jim Robinson has stepped it up as well!the important new statement by Christian leaders suggests that Romney may face even greater religious resistance in 2012.
I'm not sure that anything Jim said about Romney was "religious resistance" - except to the extent that his hostility to abortion is religiously motivated. But I don't consider that to be a prejudice but a judgement which has a rational basis.

Where is that statement in the article?
and LDS leader language?
You are intentionally distorting that article because that is your paraphasing.
Acts 3
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
Rom. 8:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
The words Joint Heir and glorified are in Romans

The meaning of words in the Bible is derived from the Biblical Hebrew or Greek, and the context in which they are used. Not from “Wikitionary”.
The Bible is composed of the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures of the Tanakh, and the Greek Scriptures of the New Covenant[New Testament].
The Greek word from which the english word “glorified” was translated from in Acts 3:13 is “doxazo”. - to render or esteem as glorious, to magnify, to honour.
“...the God of our fathers hath glorified [ honoured, esteemed, magnified] his Son Jesus.”
The Greek word from which the english “glorified” was translated from in Romans 8:17 is “sundoxazo”.
-to exalt to “dignity” in company with.
“...if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified [ honoured, dignified] with Him.”
Back it up a bit to Romans 8:15-18
“For ye have not recieved the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have recieved the Spirit of “adoption”, whereby we cry , Abba Father.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.” [children by adoption, not literal]
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory [dignity, honour] we shall recieve.”
Isaiah 43:10
