For your ping lists.
Were I a Mormon, I’d not worry.
Consider the sources.
There are blithering idiot “leaders” in every religion.
However, Muzzies appear to have the commanding lead in this area.

You're partially right, but you're off on one point. While it is true that the MSM considers Romney slightly more palatable than Cain or Perry, that will not stop them from tearing him to shreds the moment, I mean the very nanosecond, he is (God forbid) confirmed as the Republican nominee.
Once that happens, any nice things they have said about Mormonism will go right into the memory hole and a full scale assault on every controversial aspect of LDS Church history will hit every MSM outlet because they want the Republicans to lose and they will use any weapon they can grasp to make that happen.
Every election the same thing happens, and it amazes me that so many people fall for it each time. Dole was positioned by the MSM and the Republican candidate as "inevitable". They said nice things about him until he was nominated, then suddenly the narrative switched to every flaw (real or imagined) they could present. The same thing happened with Bush, the same thing happened with McCain, and the same thing is bound to happen if we nominate Romney.
Romney has a wide variety of flaws that already make him unpalatable to Conservatives. A full court, in depth expose of Mormonism and it's controversial past will destroy him.
I see that PD has found work!
That said, Mormon or no Mormon, MITT ROMNEY is a loser. And if that "conservative" talk radio freak from Boston, Jay Severin thinks that "Romney is the most conservative electable candidate out there", hence we NEED to vote for him, then Jay Severin is also one of those old school establishment freaks who cannot see that America has changed, and changed radically. Hence, the RULES have to change radically as well. Why Romney??? He developed the very prototype of Obamacare and rammed it down the throats of people from Massachusetts. No health plan? Then get fined, or go to jail. And Severin says that Romney "is a constitutionalist". America has never been in such dire straits before, this is a new kind of political warfare we fight in America, because there is a definate spiritual aspect to it. If people can't see that, then they become stuck in 'old school' politics, and often dig up quotes from traditional conservative leaders like Buckley. But even Buckley would change his views could he see what's going on in the US today. WE'VE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN OVER PEOPLE. THE FIGHT ISN'T A DEFENSIVE ONE ANYMORE, AMERICA HAS LOST TO THE COMMUNISTS. WE MUST NOW FIGHT ON THE BOLD POLITICAL OFFENSIVE. NO MORE "VOTE FOR THE LESSER OF THE TWO EVILS". That tactic has finally won the day for evil, because that tactic would eventually just make all the candidates "evil", leaving us to have to talk to a moral theologian to figger out whom to vote for.
So screw you Jay, you pussy hound freak, I hope Rush dumps you from his station faster than you can say: "Jay Severin got fired,.... A-G-A-I-N, for his massive STUPIDITY.
I'd like to see some proof that that happened.
By all means Mormons, stress how "good" you are and see how far that gets you. No amount of "good" is going to get anyone in Heaven or make one worthy of God's Grace.
If being "good" were the qualifier to get into Heaven, only dogs would go there.
If Romney gets the nomination it will be the first time we have a guy running that thinks he is going to be a God versus one that already thinks he is one.
I think that you may be missing the larger point that the more exposure this debate gives to people about the LDS church, whether critical commentary or not, will inevitably lead to more LDS church investigators and an accelerated growth rate for the church. Increased opposition leads to faster growth. Go figure.
So, a special thanks to you and your ping list for doing your part.
At the same time, I must agree with you, however, that Romney is a RINO unworthy of nomination.
If Romney is the nominee, I’ll vote for him; he may be a RINO, but he won’t ruin this country like Obama is. What I don’t get is why Mormons seem obsessed with saying that they are Christians. Why can’t their religion stand on its own two feet? If you’re a Mormon, say so, but don’t say your a Christian. The same with Jehovah’s Witnesses; I met one today and after I said I was a Christian, she immediately said, “so am I.” Hey, if you want to believe in that religion, I can’t stop you, but don’t call yourself something you’re not.
And the Lord had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them. – Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 5:21
Dear Mitt,
We have a simple question that requires a simple YES or NO answer.
Do you believe the Book of Mormon is true?
Please answer either YES or NO .
Sincerely,
Main Stream Media
The Mormon Church's past is indeed racist. From its scripture, to its doctrine, to teachings by top leadership, to its overt treatment of Blacks and American Indians – it is easy find hundreds of examples of overt racism – like the above quote from one of Mormonism’s most sacred books.
If Mitt says YES, then he has proven himself a bigot. If Mitt says NO, then he has lived a lie throughout his entire life.
Any of you Freepers dumb enough to think the MSM will not ask this question, or one like it, and then hammer home Mitt’s response if he becomes the Republican nominee?
To me, what is a cult and what isn’t, comes down to the question of authority.
Protestants see the Bible alone as their highest authority. All who substitute something else as that highest authority are cults.
The RCC, of course, as everybody knows, see their RCC “traditions” as that highest authority, traditions which establishes the Papacy as that highest authority. It is not the Bible alone, Papists add their “traditions” with the Bible as their authority.
Modern Judaism is Talmudic and sees the Talmud (many include the Kabbalah) with the Old Testament as their highest authority.
Islam has their Koran, of course, as their highest authority.
Mormonism, very similar to Talmudism and Islam, has their writings of Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, as their highest authority. Again, not the Bible alone, but the Bible with other writings.
A non-cultist, in my view, looks to the Bible alone as his highest authority. It is Mormonism’s authoritative “sacred” writings that renders them a cult of the first order.
