And Romney says he pulled over on the side of the road and cried when he heard the news about blacks holding the priesthood.

He was 31 years old for God's sake. Where his voice as an adult all through his years?

What? Mormons just "go along" with anything their leaders tell them with absolutely no dissent?

(That's a mark of a cult!)

Even in the early 1960s, 40% of Mormons said in a survey that they would return to polygamy if their "prophet" told them to...IOW, 2 out of 5 would betray their marriage covenants and openly bounce between "partners."

Another mark of a cult.

And then we have the following interesting interview except from Mormon candidate Jon Huntsman, Jr.:

This was posted on a Mormon Web site -- Mormonthink.com:

Presidential candidate Jon Huntsman on the LDS Priesthood Ban - 8/22/11

ABC News asked Mormon presidential candidate, John Huntsman about the priesthood ban and Huntsman responded very candidly:

TAPPER: Do you think it's fair for reporters or members of the public to ask candidates about their faith?

HUNTSMAN: I think it's fair, but it doesn't matter what I think about it, reporters are going to ask regardless.

TAPPER: Well, OK. Here I go then.

You're Mormon. Until you were 18, your church had racist rules. It would not allow anyone with African ancestry to become a priest and blacks were also banned from participating in certain Mormon ordinances, such as temple marriages. Then the leadership of the church, in 1978, announced something along the lines of that God had changed his mind or the rules had changed because of revelation. You seem to be a thinking man. What was it like to go through this as a -- as a young man, your church having racist rules and then all of a sudden, God says no more?

HUNTSMAN: I think it was wrong, plain and simple. I think it was wrong. I think it was something that divided people, divided friends and maybe even divided families. I believe they -- they saw the errors of their way and they made a policy change. And I think they're much better because of it.

****************

Let me get this straight, Mr. Huntsman. What you said in August then, was either...

(a) The Mormon god made a "policy" change on the basis of skin color, eh? What kind of a god do you worship, Mr. Huntsman?

Or (b) The Mormon "prophets" -- all 11 of them before Kimball...including Joseph Smith & Brigham Young...ALL got the "revelations" on race wrong for the first 3/4s of Mormon church existence? Really?

So which did Huntsman toss under the bus in August? The Mormon "prophets" or the Mormon gods?

More on this next post... The interview is available at ABCnews.com

I believe they -- they saw the errors of their way and they made a policy change.

WHOA!!

Disagreeing with the PROPHET gets you on the slippery slope to APOSTACY!!

Disagreeing with the PROPHET gets you on the slippery slope to APOSTACY!!

"Any Latter-day Saint who denounces or opposes, whether actively or otherwise, any plan or doctrine advocated by the 'prophets, seers, and revelators' of the Church is cultivating the spirit of apostacy..."

(Improvement Era, June 1945, p. 354)

MP3 File

This is the audio clip of Dallin H. Oaks, current Mormon Apostle leader, from the PBS documentary, "The Mormons", declaring unequivocally:

"IT'S WRONG TO CRITICIZE LEADERS OF THE (MORMON) CHURCH, EVEN IF THE CRITICISM IS TRUE."

Don't criticize?

Oh, they can say that their leaders were NOT speaking for GOD when they said WHATEVER but that's NOT the same as criticizing!

( Remember fellow Christians: the Mormon's criticize US because they've been taught that they CAN'T criticize ANY of their leaders; so they HAVE to vent somehow! )
