Any LDS out there, what is the church position on claiming things about your fellow Mormons, without a speck of proof???
I know that believers are not supposed to speak ill of another believer (nothing at all about making up claims without a bit of truth) we are supposed to take any grievance of another believer first to that brother in private, next, going then with some other believers to take up the grievance again but never, ever go out in public with spurious claims against another.
Is this the same in the LDS church, can one make public claims about being either a tax cheat or other, which is tantamount to a criminal act or at least skirting the law? Christians aren't even supposed to stoop to gossip about another and presumably both Harry and Mitt are at the very least, in the Melchizedek Priesthood, are charged with greater responsibility of morality, are they not.
Mormons are human, and as such, they make mistakes. Some deliberate, some innocent, but judging one Mormon by another’s behavior is like casting aspersions on all the Catholics because a priest is a pedophile.
Judge them on their own merits, and don’t allow yourself to be taken in by opinions of people who understand less than you do.
