“Still another LDS member that I’m very close to doesn’t even want Romney in the race. She said it’s because she just doesn’t want the “whole Mormon thing” in the news. “
Romney is going to have a lot of ‘splaining to do. While Mormon men might not be polygamists on earth, they must certainly become ones if they get a planet in order to generate enough spirit children.
But this brings up the question of if you need spirit children, you need spirit wives. Now, are any of those wives Goddesses? I mean, are Mormon men saying they are the only gender who can become Gods and frolic with the fems?
Which then brings up the question of whether there is a Mother God who should be worshipped, and if not why not?
This is why Brigham Young taught that polygamy was the ONLY form of marriage practiced in heaven and that there was NO SALVATION without polygamy. At least he wasn't afraid to tell you exactly what he thought. LOL

No, there are no "goddesses" in LDS theology, so, yes, LDS doctrine holds that ONLY men can become "gods".
I don't think Romney will get such questions from the mainstream media; however, they very might run exposes on LDS history and theology. If they truly tell it like it is, it will be a disaster or a blessing for the LDS Church, depending on how you look at it. For those who want the non-publicized LDS teachings to be kept out of the limelight, it will be a disaster. The LDS Church has shown a tendency to bow to public pressure, especially mainstream Christian public pressure. Once their "strange" doctrines are exposed, the LDS Church will face a dilemna. They will either have to change or admit that they indeed teach some things that are directly opposed to mainstream Christianity, such as there being many gods and that they are all simply men who evolved into gods, and that earthly men can themselves become gods. I believe (and pray) their desire to become "mainstream" Christianity will force them to change, which is why I believe Romney's running could very well end up being a blessing for the LDS Church and Mormons in the long run.
