RINOmney is on the Board at Marriott. No doubt he approved and cashed his gay and porn checks.

The Mormons are very happy letting them taking over the Boy Scouts

....”I am very careful about separating my personal faith and beliefs from how we run our business.”.......

Oh this is too funny....which evidences his beliefs go no further than being a member in the mormon organization... No different then someone belonging to any other organization that tacks on religion to make it palatable to those without true faith. We're going to see more and more unbelievers within so called churches ahead....religion sells to the masses regardless of it masquerading as something it is not.

Well, I'm sure their room-designers and marketers could have a CRACK at it!

....”Their long view is that it just gives him more money to tithe”.....

I believe it’s the entire picture for the Mormon Leadership ....to maintain the revenues and increase them by whatever means and source. They are also big in Globalization and that agenda...I suspect they will be one of the revenue sources sought after when the One World Governance is in full operation.....ALL large churches, and those who call themselves that, will be sought for their constant flow of revenue.

The article says he’s been extending same sex partners benefits for 25 years. Not a new “gay friendly” corporation.

With some "prophets," it's all one in the same!

(Joseph Smith was arrested in the 1820s for "glass looking" -- a 19th century term for treasure-seekers who would defraud others in the process...Smith made more of a lifestyle that was underwrote by his supporters from 'religion' than he ever did 'treasure-seeking'/glass-looking)

Smith ran a sizeable rooming house and had a larger house built for him (with his own private bar...see Mormon Truth!! October 8, 2005 log re: account from Joseph Smith's own son).

By April 11, 1844, he had himself pronounced "King" [On April 11, at a meeting of the Fifty, Joseph was secretly “chosen as our Prophet, Priest and King by Hosannas.” The Council performed an ordinance “in which Joseph suffered himself to be ordained a king, to reign over the house of Israel forever.” -- Citizen Smith]...

...and he was running for President of the United States!

he said then. “But beyond that, I am very careful about separating my personal faith and beliefs from how we run our business.”
________________________________________

but the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible said that we were to run our business along side our faith in God and Christianity...

To further make His point the LORD Jesus Christ overturned the tables of the Mormon businesses err the money changers oh that’s the same thing...

see again how different Mormonism is to Christianity..

And he stepped down as CEO in 2012.

Gee, a whole year and a half ago...THAT ought to satisfy St. Peter at the Gate...OH WAIT! Mariott only has to "get past Joseph Smith"! That's OK then!

"No man or woman in this dispensation will ever enter into the celestial kingdom of God without the consent of Joseph Smith...every man and woman must have the certificate of Joseph Smith, junior, as a passport to their entrance into the mansion where God and Christ are...[Joseph Smith] reigns there as supreme a being in his sphere, capacity, and calling, as God does in heaven. Many will exclaim—"Oh, that is very disagreeable! It is preposterous! We cannot bear the thought!" But it is true." -Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 7, p.289-91

Just wait until polygamy becomes legal. Marriott will be giving out the Joseph Smith special deal, extra rooms for the extra wives...

...Got that right!

You cannot serve two masters, you must choose between God and mammon. Mr. Marriott hass simply made his choice.”

I wonder which God will see as the lesser sin....Kate Kelly fighting for equality in the mormon church, or Marriott distributing filth for 24 years.

The mormon leaders have made THEIR choice!

Are you sure Obama isn't secretly a mormon elder?

Smith ran a sizable rooming house and had a larger house built for him with his own private bar...

According to Fawn Brodie, it wasn't a private bar. Quite the opposite, Joseph turned his mansion in Nauvoo into a public saloon for a short time. Emma returned from an out-of-town trip and was appalled to find the enterprise in high gear in the downstairs rooms of her house. She ordered the tavern closed immediately on the grounds that it was no way for a prophet to act. Joseph protested that the liquor sales were bringing in more money than anything else he had ever done. Emma stood firm and then threatened to move out with the children, presumably to Joseph's nearby hotel. Faced with the loss of both his family and extended family, Joseph relented.

(Thanks for the correction...and we know even a "private" bar for Smith was never "privatized" for only him)
