I'm not Mormon so I don't know how the temple recommend process works precisely. Is the candidate just asked if he is a full tither or does he have to provide documentation? If the candidate is just asked and Romney isn't qualified for the privileges he received, then two possibilities jump to the forefront. One, Mitt was not truthful in his response. Two, Mitt was truthful and the LDS "Church" or its representative bent the rules for Mitt. Either way it is embarassing for Mitt. In the former case, it just another example of his problem with the truth. In the latter case, Mitt is going to have a hard time convincing people that he didn't know that he was receiving favored treatment.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the legalism of the LDS "Church" undermined the candidancy of its first serious Presidential candidate?
Yes the Mormon hierarchy is very much like the OWS
These rules for thee but not for me
While the common peons in Mormonism have to be taxed errr pay union dues errr pay club dues errr tithe 10% to buy their way into the mormon after life errr prove their worthiness or something...
The top 1% of Club Mormonism members get great beenies like free housing, free meals, free trips, free travel, etc and discounted or no yearly dues, temple recommends with no interview...
If bishop Romney has too show his tax returns the “faithful” will get to see that because of his
“royal” Mormon family
family name
political ambitions
proximity to the “white horse throne”
He doesnt have to cough up errr give the required 10% plus that the 99 percenters do...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
An OTS might be needful
Occupy Temple Square...
