In all the extensive media coverage of Mitt Romney... not a word have I seen about the secrets of Mormonism, the secrets of Romney's life-long beliefs and practices...
SNIP
And why does Romney (and his church) want to keep people from knowing those secrets? Most Mormons will claim that they are not "secret," but merely..."sacred"...Mormons hold any number of other aspects...to be "sacred," and yet they don't hesitate to discuss them (for example: baptism, conferring the gift of the Holy Ghost, ordination to the priesthood, etc.)...
...I am going reveal those secrets...
SNIP
Part of the endowment ritual instructs the Mormons in the four "signs" and "tokens" of the Mormon priesthood. Each also has a "name" (or password)...The purpose of the signs and tokens, according to Mormon Prophet Brigham Young, is that they will be needed to pass the angels guarding the gates of heaven. The tokens are various handshakes, copied largely from the Masonic initiation rites of the 1830s, when church founder Joseph Smith was initiated into Freemasonry...
SNIP
So Mitt Romney, and all other righteous Mormons, can be confident that they know the secret passwords and secret handshakes to get into heaven. Do you see why Romney and his church are reluctant for "unworthy" people (the rest of us, including Mrs. Romney's parents) to know about this?...
The actions that were going to guarantee my entrance at the gates...would have nothing to do with love or charity or the other teachings of Christ...I hadn't heard a single one of those words spoken today, the most primary day of religious instruction in my entire life. No, I was going to burst into heaven on the basis of mumbo-jumbo...Did all the white-suited glorifiers in the room unquestioningly accept a ritual of nutty gestures from the pseudo-occult as a sacrament?...

Well said on both counts. I am LDS, and will not vote for Mitt in the primaries, and in fact, here in Idaho already cast my vote for Santorum.
Romney was not my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice (Palin, Cain, Santorum), but if the people nominate him, I will support him against the marxist Obama who is willfully destroying the nation in every way imagineable. I will do nothing that would help in any way for Obama to be re-elected.
Romnney is not close to my ideal conservative candidate, but he is saying a lot of the right things and if we elect the right House and Senate, which we also must do, I believe as a pol, he will do those things he is saying he will do...and if that is all he does, we as a nation will be immensly better off than with Obama.
AMERICA AT THE CROSSROADS OF HISTORY

Read up on your life hereafter and come back with your list of differences between your Mormon heaven and Christian Heaven.
Funny thing about Mittens... I really do not think he is an avowed anything. If the wind blows left, he goes left, if it blows right, he goes right.
It is coercion (particularly at points of entry and egress) and psychological control (i.e. brainwashing).
I thought there was supposed to be no discrimination against religion in America.
Oh yeah, that was before the ‘age of Obama’.
So God has angels guarding the gates of heaven but we cannot get some troops to guard our borders?
The Sadducees tried to trip up Jesus with their questions about the widow who married seven brothers in succession after the preceding one died, asking Him which she would be married to in Heaven. His answer was pretty clear then and it still stands today regardless of any cultic teachings.
That being said, I dislike Romney not because he is a Mormon, but because he is NOT a Conservative. He ran as, governed as, and advocated for Liberalism in every aspect of his Governorship of Massachusetts.
If he does win the nomination, I am certain we will all get a full dose of Mormonism from the MSM and NOE of it will be flattering!
You nailed it!
When I was interviewed prior to joining the Masons, over 30 years ago, I was asked whether I believed in God. It was the only question that I was asked that a negative answer to would have disqualified me. There are Jews, Catholic and Protestants in my Lodge, no Muzzies however, they fail to get past that belief in God thing.
J.Smith did indeed try to turn Free Masonry into a religion and for his efforts, he was kicked out. As a result, he invented his own religion, incorporating many of the Masonic signs, symbols and rituals. Free Masonry, is a fine, compassionate, fraternal organization. Nothing more and nothing less. Joseph Smith and his evil home made religion has managed to cast it in a bad light.
Is Redleg Duke a mormon? I sure didn't get that from either of his replies.
From this remark by Redleg Duke, I infer that he is not mormon:
Joseph Smith was expelled from Freemasonry for his attempts to turn it into a religion.
Seems pretty clear to me.

Romney is, without question, a liberal who has no business being our nominee, not to mention a loathsome individual in his own right. But Harry Reid is not in the running to become the leader of this nation---Romney is. And I do not want a leader who is involved in the Mormon cult. To believe Romney will not be influenced by his church is, IMO, folly.
It is truly a great concern for the anti-Mormons. Apparently, Romney is going to ride a White Horse into Washington, load the Executive Branch with Mormons, then force all the non-Mormons to wear secret underwear, take on multiple wives, and buy first-class tickets for some place called Kolob. This is all found, of course, in the barrage of anti-Mormon spam that is soon to follow in this thread, complete with Colored Fonts, ALL-CAPS, and other ingenious font selections to draw the eye, or as is truly the case, force posters to hit the space bar to get past it.
Tinfoil bump !
Harry Reid isn’t running fro President. He won’t have his finger on the nuclear button.
To believe Romney will not be influenced by his church is, IMO, folly.
Okay, I’ll bite into the paranoia. Specifically, what is the evil Mormon Church going to try to get Romney to do as President?
Interesting... so Mitt Romney has “inside voices” which will not shut the heck up regarding this cultic nonsense.
That explains a lot in term of arrogance and acts of stuck on stupid political demon possession of some.
Romney is who is he because of his mormonism, if you want to know who he is learn about mormonism.
