Actually not. Mormonism is very much (unofficially of course) a caste system based on their teachings that our station in this life is based upon how ‘valiant’ we were during the ‘war in heaven’ (which to them is Lucifer being mad he wasn’t chosen to be the Savior during the election). I am not kidding, I can document this using LDS sources.

By all means, show me. There is only speculation and opinion. There is no caste system in the LDS Church. I want to see documentation that our station in life was based on how valiant we were during the war in heaven. Where do you get this stuff? or do you just make it up?

This means, Beck, being a convert, is looked down on as lesser than say Romney who would be “mormon royalty” (pioneer stock). In short, Romney’s words carry more weight than Beck’s. Together, Mormons will ‘bow your head and say ‘yes’ (reference to their temple ritual) and vote however they think their leaders want them to.

What utter nonsense. What total manure. Are you hoping people are just gullible or what?

Joseph Fielding Smith said in 1954 that there were no "neutrals in the war in heaven," but that rewards in this life may have "reflected actions taken in the pre-existence

In the 1954 book Doctrines of Salvation (compiled by Bruce R. McConkie), Joseph Fielding Smith stated that "there were no neutrals in the war in heaven," but suggested that the rewards received in this life reflected actions taken in the pre-existence:

NO NEUTRALS IN HEAVEN. There were no neutrals in the war in heaven. All took sides either with Christ or with Satan. Every man had his agency there, and men receive rewards here based upon their actions there, just as they will receive rewards hereafter for deeds done in the body. The Negro, evidently, is receiving the reward he merits.

Bruce R. McConkie said in 1966 that they were "less valiant" in the pre-existence

The most well known of these was the statement made by Bruce R. McConkie in his book Mormon Doctrine. McConkie offered the following opinion:

Those who were less valiant in the pre-existence and who thereby had certain spiritual restrictions imposed upon them during mortality are known to us as the negroes. Such spirits are sent to earth through the lineage of Cain, the mark put upon him for his rebellion against God and his murder of Abel being a black skin...but this inequality is not of man’s origin. It is the Lord’s doing, based on His eternal laws of justice, and grows out of the lack of spiritual valiance of those concerned in their first estate.
