BBM. Aside from all other issues with his ever-shifting "positions", there is no doubt IMO that the MSM will ensure Willard's religion plays a major role (liability) in the election. You don't even have to read between the lines to see where this is heading.

Romney is a lying cheater.

His religion is irrelevant to his incompetence.

That said, Romney has no chance. Zero. Zed. Nada.

I disagree with LDS theology, I say without hestitation that it’s flat wrong.

Yet, the personal hands-on approach of counsel has commonalities both to cults AND to the orthodox/biblical Christian church. Read the biblical epistles and it’s inescapable that church fathers could get quite “nosey” into congregants’ affairs, if not a formal structure like this.

mormonism will be laid bare, it will no longer be a secret operating corporation. Romney will lose first and foremost because he is a liberal, being a practicing member of mormonism will only cement in people's minds why he is a liberal.

This 'watcher on watcher' method is pretty typical of the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church ~ in Scandinavia. It also shows up in Swedenborg's "revelation" ~ Smith is often accused of using Swedenborg's work to design his own church organization.

As I've pointed out earlier, that same COTFB church, at an earlier stage than most sources will give you, was around in upstate New York and Rhode Island in the early 1700s ~ and was known then, and now, as The Church of the First Born.

Joseph Smith (just coincidentally I am sure) provides a great deal of information concerning that body in the Doctrines & Covenants.

I've had any number of Mormons advise me that the Mormon use of the term, and these customs, has nothing to do with the older church, or with Swedenborg, but here's another one ~ they are documented as participating in what is known as serial polygamy. It has been typical for centuries for men and women to marry and divorce 4 or 5 others over their lifetimes, just like Bill Clinton's mom and dad, and they were both Church of the First Born members.

It would probably be good for the Mormons to start telling folks what all of these secret things mean ~ just for old times sake you know ~ save me an enormous amount of time digging more stuff up about the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church.

From the article:

“Yet the reluctance of most Mormons to discuss their beliefs and customs with non-members only adds to secular suspicion that the church is a cult. “

What the heck?

This journalist can’t be serious!

Just the other day, I had two Mormons show up on my doorstep wanting to talk about their beliefs!

In fact, once they got going, I couldn’t get them to shut up about their beliefs and customs long enough to get a single word in edgewise!!!

Of course, I’m fairly confident that THAT is the main reason people suspect Mormonism to be a cult!

Cheers

P.S. - They finally shut up and left quite hastily when I was finally able to interrupt them long enough to inform them that my wife had been ex-communicated from the Mormon church!

For someone who seems to have at least attempted to do research for the article, she sure got an awful lot of simple things wrong.

Really? A couple of them show up on my doorstep every other month to discuss those. I have had Mormon employees who never seemed shy about discussing them. My dad used to get the full-press recruiting treatment when he went to Utah on business, once they found out how many kids he had. They send their kids off to far-off parts of the world when they turn 19 to share them.

The author does not know their arse from Shinola.

Liberation theology or Mormonism...? If these are my choices when voting, I will go Mormonism. As reasons for why I wish I had a different candidate than Romney, Mormonism is down there in the non issue pile.

The problem with Myth is he’s a liar.

He’s no better than Obama — in ways, he’s worse.

I won’t vote for him, no matter what.

Even though I preferred Gingrich or Santorum I’m gladly on board with Romney now. If for no other reason than to observe all the bitterness, crying and whining by certain bigots on FR. Can’t beat that kind of entertainment. lol.

Romney would also be assigned two “home teachers” — fellow Mormons who live in his vicinity and would visit with Romney once a month, probably in the White House, to counsel him on his faith and general emotional state<

Amazing crappola here. AS for the 'visitations'; guess it is okay if the name of the 'counselor's are the Muslim Brotherhood; or Louis Farrakhan; or Rev. Wright or Professor Bell.

OMG. . .
