The entire story of Mormonism began when according to FLDS/LDS "prophet" Joseph Smith, God(s) appeared to him and told him to "translate" the book of mormon, and "RETRANSLATE" THE ENTIRE BIBLE because it had been utterly corrupted through mistranslation. He did over several years "retranslate" the ENTIRE BIBLE, and his version is known as the Joseph Smith Translation. The very reason the various sects of mormonism were founded was to correct the bible's errors, so they say.

Strangely, Brigham Young declared the entire JST a fruad, and the LDS sect broke away from mormonism and the teachings of Joseph Smith....They threw out the JST version and don't use it to this very day.

....And people wonder why prominent lds mormons like Harry Reid and Mitt Romney who are so blatantly dishonest are so welcomed by lds hierarchy.

he’ll fit right in in DC. Brings a spiritual dimension to the freaking superstitious secular witchcraft and paganism they all engage in.

>> the breakaway LDS sect of Mormonism

Breakaway?? I thought the LDS sect was the majority of mormons, by a very large margin?

If the LDS sect broke away from the mormons 150 years ago because of the JST, then why quote the JST now as proof of the LDS sect’s apostasy?

Ba’al, Jupiter, Osiris, et al are just the same name of the infamous leader of ancient Mesopotamia - Nimrod. He, his wife Semiramis, and their son became a trinity of gods worshiped by all in the area except Abraham. And that caused a slight problem for Nimrod when Abraham, with his exceptional hospitality skills, went around preaching the good news of ethical monotheism about a God who wasn’t human.

Mormonism is just the same old pagan crap but just repackaged. If Romney wants to be the god of his own planet I don’t think I need he needs practice doing it at the cost of the taxpayer.

Believe it or not, the Old Testament refers to ‘Gods’ as well. In Genesis, when God says, “Let US create man in our own image” the Hebrew word used for God is Elohim - a plural. Hence, ‘let US...” This has been suggested as God’s self-referential acknowledgement of His triune nature - being Father,Son and Holy Spirit.
While I strongly disagree with Mormomism, we should not be so hasty to point out fault with something that exists in our Bible too.

There are those full cognizant of what mormonism is and there are those who have been deceived as to what mormonism is. You will find answers in the old testament where it deals with false prophets and minions or servants of Satan. I will say nothing further on this period.

Baal schmaal, as long as he’s not worshipping Allah in there I could care less.

And I’m not a Romney fan. I’d prefer pretty much any other candidate except Ron Paul. But the details of his religion are irrelevant to me.

You forgot the caption ...


From left: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships Joshua DuBois, and President Thomas S. Monson, the head of the LDS Church, look on as Obama observes a detail on his family pedigree chart being pointed out to him by Mormon apostle Dallin Oaks. The denomination has presented such compilations to several recent US presidents.

Harry's lies stem from his Liberalism; a 'religion' far more dangerous and insidious than LDS. Romney; well. . .safe to say he is a 'politician' and while I do not support him; to compare him to Reid (and ergo; John Huntsman, by same and damn by 'religion') is just a variation of progaganda; in itself.

Now, Obama's Liberal/Marxist/Leftist. . .Liberation Theology - not to mention his Islamic sympathies; should bring a 'fear and trembling'. Four more years of this; and no question; America is doomed.

“Mormons believe Baal and Jupiter helped create the universe.”

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe that Jesus Christ, the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, is the Creator of the universe.

And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part.

Mark 9:38-40
