Hey, Resty, did you take out your endowments before or after the 1990 changes.
You know I can produce the oath of consecration (all versions) but I was being respectful by not posting it.
How was NYC?
Yeah and ‘never make ‘the Church’ look bad’ is a principle.
Fact is...most mormons that I’ve known..rarely talk about Jesus. They talk about the “Church” quite a bit though...

Very true, OO. Shawn McCraney talks about after he was Born Again (and still LDS) how his LDS friends started looking at him oddly and avoiding him because it was about “Jesus”, not “the savior” or “the Church”.
Point 1- RELIGION: Religion IS NOT a qualification or disqualification for public office; but it's certainly one quality of voter discernment among many others...namely, voting record, present position statements & rampant inconsistency of past position statements, social issues' stances, character, viability, scandal-free past, etc. Article VI, section 3 of the Constitution is aimed at the candidate (must be of a certain age and must have resided in our country for a certain number of years) and the government so that religion does not become a disqualification to keep somebody otherwise eligible for running for public office. Article VI, section 3, is not aimed at the voter. Otherwise, voters would have to 100% disregard character, beliefs, other-dimensionly commitments, and spiritual discernment in weighing candidates.
POINT 2 - ELIGIBILITY: Newsflash!! Every person on the ballot, & even most write-in candidates, have proper "qualifications" to not be excluded from office consideration (based upon religious grounds). Of course, millions of us have the "qualifications" to be considered a potential POTUS & shouldn't be excluded outright from a ballot because of the religion we hold! Nobody has a "Religious Ineligibility" tattoo on their forehead!
POINT 3- BOTTOM LINE: Don't confuse "qualifications" (language within the Constitution) with "qualities." (language that’s NOT in the Constitution). I focus on what voters base their votes on in the "real world": Qualities
Otherwise, Article VI says absolutely nothing...nada...zero...about how voters must weigh--or not weigh--the "qualities" of a candidate...So, nowhere does Article VI say that voters MUST 100% disregard character, beliefs, other-dimensionly commitments, and spiritual discernment in weighing candidates!
"Qualifications" have to do with what gets a man on a ballot. "Qualities" has to do with who gets elected.
I might.
I'm pretty shallow some ways
Or you might just post this Romney/underpants/lemon video.
To me...this is the action of Satan.
There is no way getting around the fact that the mormon religion is a cult, when you look at the facts. And yet you remain deceived....

It is good you put it in writing what you think about the Lord’s Church so you can not deny when you meet the Lord someday!
In fact none of us do for we are very aware of that fact, for others, sadly truth will out...
Figures, I cant hit youtube from here. Later...
Satanist's, Muslim's, Christian's, Buddist's, Mormon's, Atheist's, will all bow and confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord.....That's a given.
The fact that you think the "Lord's Church" is mormonism is sad to me.....
But speaks volume's about what you really think...
Thanks-

As for Joey Smith and his anti-Christian mormons...
to them Jesus will say...”I never knew you”
Joey Smith and his moprmons put things in writing also...
Saying that Jesus and His Word, the Christian Bible and Chrsitianity were abominations...
Pity that...the mormon false prophet Joey Smith never did see the future...
