For Mitt Romney, it all started in a two-story, wood-framed house on a busy street in Pontiac, Mich. Painted beige, encircled by an asphalt lot that would hardly hold a dozen cars, the building manages to look both decrepit and picturesque, like a million other urban churches across the country. Today it houses the Unity Church of Practical Christianity, but until Romney was 10, it was the Mormon church he attended with his familyat least twice a day on Sunday, and one night a week for youth group.

Now the Mormons are Jews!
Who needs to be a Stroh man when there are plenty of strawmen in these threads!
You error, again, in thinking the BoM controls our lives.
Don’t you KNOW, by now, that LATER ‘revelations’ trump ANYTHING that’s been revealed before??
Sheesh...
—MormonDude(tired of explaining our beliefs)
You two still fussin’?
That's ok, as I didn't give enough reference..
It was probably in another thread anyway.
Someone had said that they'd feed the croc, hoping it would eat him last, and Pearls Before Swine had THIS panel:
Sharia or Temple Rites?
You make the call.....
For decades the Church has microfilmed and otherwise copied millions of vital records around the globe, and the work for the dead, some of whom can be traced back to 1,200 A.D. or even prior to that, goes on.
Church members are charged with tracing their "family trees" back at least four generations, and many have gone much farther back into their family history than that.
The Church is the largest genealogical organization in the world and makes it resources available to individuals, LDS or not, in "family history" libraries located in local meeting houses and, of course, on a grander scale in Salt Lake City and elsewhere around the world. Records can be accessed online, on CDs, and on microfiche.
1 Timothy 1:3-4
3. As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer
4. nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work--which is by faith.
17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself adelivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I bsaw two cPersonages, whose brightness and dglory defy all description, estanding above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the otherThis is My fBeloved gSon. Hear Him!18 My object in going to ainquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)and which I should join.19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those bprofessors were all ccorrupt; that: they ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the gpower thereof.20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself alying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, bmother inquired what the matter was. I replied, Never mind, all is wellI am well enough off. I then said to my mother, I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.
I can imagine!

Dang!!
What’d I miss at #176?
Dang!!!
What’d I miss at #183?
OOOhhh!
I think I KNOW what I missed!
I sure hope the LDS organization is TELLING THE TRUTH to their members about the Presbyterians these days...
Till fuss runneth over.
I’m sorry you are not up to debate. I’m sorry to learn that the dancing around in circles that you have done has left you disoriented.
I hope you recover soon.
Joseph claimed to have done something Jesus couldn't...that's a lie we all ought to be PO'd about.
I have more to boast of than any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such work as I (History of the Church, Vol.6, pp. 408-09).
