The better question is, who do you represent?

A loosely affiliated group of ex-Mormon Christians who happen to know both sides, unlike Mohler.

Mitt Romney is the only conservative Republican who can beat Obama.

Mitt is not a Conservative, nor is he a Christian. The boss doesn’t like people pimping Romney around here.

BTW, are you really a ‘neo-danite’? Since the topic is Mormonism, your screen-name and use of the phrase”Church of Jesus Christ (Mormons) “ raises a lot of read flags.

As an intelligent person, I will NOT be bullied into voting for someone because someone else calls me a HATER, a BIGOT, a RACIST or an EVANGELICAL!

I used to be Mormon, they are definitely NOT Christians, their own theology excludes them from the Body of Christ.

This is worth discussing, and I'll go one further. I couldn't in good conscience vote for a evangelical over a fellow Catholic as long as the Catholic isn't supporting something evil or destructive (as do most "Catholic" pols today). But back to Romney. There's no way I could ever vote for him...except when the alternative means a categorically greater evil. That is Obama. His policies include death panels, which will eventually become a holocaust of the elderly, and socialism, which is the end of Christian society. With Romney there is at least a hope that we won't go down those paths.

All of that is REALLY reaching frankly and a huge leap of logic. The same claims were made about JFK that he’d just be a puppet of the pope.

Comparing the obedience of JFK to Catholicism and the obedience of Romney to the mormon church is shown by history to be ridiculous.

Mormon apologists always ignore one simple fact. Mitt Romney and all other temple worthy mormons have frequently made this vow in the mormon temple:

You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.

This oath promises that in "everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he MAY bless you" up to and including the power of the Presidency of the United States.

Mitt got permission for mormon leaders to run for the presidency in '08 and anyone who believes he will not use the power of the Presidency to build up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion (the mormon church) is either ignorant or lying.

Calling that a "a huge leap of logic." is nothing but a falsehood.

I’ve been a great reader of the Tanners and read about that Temple marriage ceremony. Demonic.

Romney IS Obama. He will further not stop what you listed and more. The danger of Romney is there are people who really believe he is better than Obama, because he says he is a pubbie, he isn’t - he is just the same. Pro death, pro gun control, pro socialism, pro abortion. I hate them both equally, however at least with Zero, we know our enemy rather than have someone who pretends to be a friend to our cause.

I lived in a Mormon household for a little over a year (I rented a room in their house). The house was a magnet home for Mormon missionaries to come to for a decent meal, have their clothes washed and enjoy a home atmosphere. During my stay there the owner told the missionaries not to try to convert me because, in his words, “she know more about the LDS church and its theology than you do.” Best compliment a Mormon ever paid me. Many have tried and many went away saying “we’ll get back to you on that.”

The LDS should probably stop referring to other Christians as “heathens” if they want to whine.

Plus....

Mitt Romney will not beat Obama. He is a RINO who will run about as vigorously as McCain did. Not much.

..Dr. Mohler is arguably the finest theologian in the Southern Baptist Convention--He appears to be trying to bring balance after Jeffress at First Baptist Dallas stepped in it involving himself in Perry's campaign.

The doctrinal differences between sects and denominations should not be allowed to become like crack cocaine for the MSM, who are just looking for something to get manic about.

Having said that, I would vote for Romney about 30 seconds after Hell froze over--Go Cain!

Kudos! That Milt has sworn the Melchizadek High Priesthood oath yet lives in a way that repudiates much of that oath tells me that he is a duplicitous liar, who will govern by wet finger in the wind methodology ... his duplicitousness stamps him as unfit to lead this Republic, so his religion and his relationship to his professions is most instructive.

Not only is he pimping Romney, his screen name refers to the LDS hit squad and secret police of the 19th century.

Trying to revive the danites, neo?

He is possibly a sleeper account or a retread. Last post before this one was 2007. Lets see if he shows up again.

KUDOS! That ‘political correctness’ crap seems to be one of MIlt’s strategies, and straight from the LDS inc handbook!

It was really funny when they were told not to try but some had to. They’d ask a question and I’d answer it and get that deer in the headlight look back when I came back with a question. It is strange though that I wasn’t able to reach my host. Sometimes he or his wife would kinda listen in but I don’t know what the reason was. Who knows, maybe I planted a seed and it might be slow growing.

Your host knew how fetching you look and knew you’re bright and competent. He didn’t want the missionaries pursuing you ... if you get my drift. BTW, how’s the weather down under?
