"Meadow muffins...nothing but meadow muffins!"

Long before our God began his creations, he dwelt on a mortal world like ours, one of the creations that his Father had created for him and his brethren. He, with many of his brethren, was obedient to the principles of the eternal gospel. One among these, it is presumed, was a savior for them, and through him they obtained a resurrection and an exaltation on an eternal, celestial world. 8 Then they gained the power and godhood of their Father and were made heirs of all that he had, continuing his works and creating worlds of their own for their own posterity—the same as their Father had done before, and his Father, and his Father, and on and on.

So Romney is going to the White House to receive alien visitors from outer space, huh?
(And how exactly will he be able to discern them from false angels? Oh yeah, a handshake, per Mormon "scripture":)
Don't believe me? Read my post #45 here: They See Dead People?
Talk about eerie Mormonism!!!
“Thus I dare repeat the rallying cry of the Archangel Micheal when he cast Lucifer from Heaven: “But who is like God?”
Exactly. How can God guide Romney if he were to become
President? He can’t, that’s what is scary. Another four
years of no “grace.”
An act of love would be to pray for the conversion of Romney
and Obama.
Now do y'all see why Mormonism is so readily compared to Scientology?
L. Ron Hubbard could have easily substituted Kolob for Venus in his religion.
According to Scientology, when a person dies — or, in Scientology terms, when a thetan abandons its physical body — they go to a "landing station" on the planet Venus, where the thetan is re-implanted and told lies about its past life and its next life. The Venusians take the thetan, "capsule" it, and send it back to Earth to be dumped into the ocean off the coast of California. Source: Thetan (Wikipedia)
Seems to me that, per the Mormon myth narrative, when when an earthling is becoming "encapsuled" they leave from a "launching station" on the planet Kolob, where the Mormon spirit is implanted inside a human body, and once born with a Mormon family, the Mormon is told lies about its past life and its next life. The Mormon gods take the Mormon, "capsule" it in that body, and send it to Earth to be dumped at age 8 into the Mormon baptismal founts off of many international coasts.
At: LDS (Mormonism) and Scientology: A Brief Theological Comparison ...Under one of the differences, I actually see more of a connection...#6 mentions Mormonism's "exaltation to godhood"...Scientologists a "return to Thetanhood" as its "final goal."
If there is a resemblance between the two founders, presumably it is because Hubbard looked at Joseph Smith and the LDS and decided it would provide him with a very useful model for a successful religion. He gave it an SF twist, because that was what he was good at, and it probably amused him.
Well, Hubbard did have to "twist" any sci-fi that Mormon leaders hadn't already done before him -- just a lot less detail.
For example:
* Lds "prophet" Brigham Young: Who can tell us of the inhabitants of this little planet that shines of an evening, called the moon? ...when you inquire about the inhabitants of that sphere you find that the most learned are as ignorant in regard to them as the most ignorant of their fellows. So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain.
Source: Journal of Discourses, Vol. 13, p. 271...1870 -- so keep in mind, Young had already been leading the Lds church for about 25 years or so when he made this comment.
Brigham Young's first counselor was "apostle" Heber C. Kimball: "Where did the earth come from? From its parents earths...The earth is alive. If it was not, it could not produce." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 36, 1857)
BTW, where did Brigham Young get his "source" re: the habitation of the moon?
Oliver B. Huntington: Nearly all the great discoveries of men in the last half century have, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly, contributed to prove Joseph Smith to be a prophet. As far back as 1837, I know that he said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they lived to a greater age than we do--that they live generally near the age of 1000 years. He described the men as averaging nearly six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style. In my Patriarchal blessing, given by the father of Joseph the Prophet in Kirtland, 1837, I was told that I should preach the gospel before I was 21 years of age; that I should preach the gospel to the inhabitants upon the islands of the sea, and--to the inhabitants of the moon, even the planet you can not behold with your eyes. The first two promises have been fulfilled, and the latter may be verified. From the verification of the two promises we may reasonably expect

Apologies for not responding to your first request. I must have missed it. That being said, I have not come across any evidence of God’s presence or the miraculous in Mormonism. But then again, I’m neither a Mormon, an apologist for Mormonism, nor someone who believes the Book of Mormon was inspired by God. So I would advise you to check with the Mormons for the type of information you seek.

[snip]
Don’t forget the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, witnessed by 72,000 people (including many skeptics) and reported in reputable non-religious publications world-wide.
However, even these miracles pale in comparison to the Eucharistic miracles worldwide in which consecrated hosts lose the accidents of bread prior to consumption.

Of similar concern for me is the following: Which god would Romney be invoking every time he says “God bless America”?
> Another four years of no “grace.”
I fear it would be more like 16. Eight years of Romney followed by another eight years of a Democrat in the White House as punishment for the eight years of Romney.

Ditto. And fasting too.
“However, even these miracles pale in comparison to the Eucharistic miracles”...

Hi, thanks, so sorry, clicked on the wrong post. I meant to ask a Mormon here on the forum for their miracles. I bet they don’t have a one documented, tested by science.
NorthernCrunchyCon and all,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbg_dhI4XCs
listen to this “scientist” explain the multiple miracles
in this Eucharistic miracle in our time. Amazing!

Ahh c’mon now, what’s wrong with this? Everyone ends up being a god, and running their own planet somewhere out in the cosmos, I just want to know if Planet Romney (ruled over benevolently by Emperor George) requires everyone to drive a Nash-Rambler? As long as I don’t have to drive an accursed Gremlin or a ‘Pacer’, I suppose I could deal with it.
BEAM ME TO PLANET ROMNEY! (just kidding, JUST kidding! ;)
No problemo. Stay tuned to the Religious Forum, I just stumbled across another smoking gun from FAIR - the top Mormon apologetics website.
> how nice, you commented on everything in my reply NCC.
I must try harder to do the same, sometimes, sorry, I fail to reply to the posts and comments directed to me.
blessings,

I shall. Heaven is watching this race, They all (God included) do not want another non-Christian as President.
Free will, it’s not always a gift (humor) so we must pray and
fast.
Good thing, cause there isn't a spoon.
As normal a Christian as B Wacky Insane0 is!
I sadly believe they are doomed like pharaoh, unable to steer their own heart.

You think about everyone, at one time, they were someone’s sweet innocent child. What in the world happens??!!!
I was think about Obama, he sent (it’s not much) 26 million
to Sudan to help with the tragic happenings there. Maybe, it will help him, love covers many sins. Still....he’s
Mr. infanticide, the Herod of our time.
Hey.....even Islam has its “scholars”. Just goes to show ya that the title “scholar” means about as much any more as........well, “Nobel Peace Prize Winner”.
No. Not true. Not truth. A lie from the pit of hell and Satan himself.
God himself said “I am that I am.” Not I was once like you. He BECAME like us, that we might become AS Him. We will not ever BE Him.
As the famous quote goes: “you lie”
Seems sort of like scientology to me.
