From the article: ...Romney’s nomination is an opportunity for the nation to finally pick up on their rebuke of the church’s beliefs and practices...And the LDS Church is bracing itself for scrutiny. Voters across the country are looking to the Internet for answers, which is cause for concern for the church, especially since late 2011, when Reuters news services published an unscripted, audio-recorded talk Elder Marlin Jensen gave to a religious-studies class at Utah State University. In the candid conversation, Jensen—who is a General Authority, in the church’s First Quorum of the Seventy—acknowledged that people were leaving the church en masse, and that since the church’s early history, “We’ve never had a period of—I’ll call it apostasy—like we’re having now.” Critics say the uncomfortable doctrines of the LDS Church are often what scare members away, and it’s that information they want to get out to the general public.

For more info on what (now former) General Authority Marlin Jensen, who was the 16th-ranked Mormon G.A. (they rank by age)...until they sacked him 'cause he was too candid...see

From the article: “I am concerned that most journalists don’t know that much about Mormonism,” says Richard Packham, a spokesman for the ExMormon Foundation, which holds annual conferences for those who have left the LDS flock. He says that in the past few months, he’s been receiving frequent calls from international journalists asking about the church. Packham, in turn, has provided them with his testimony of the Mormon problem. “First of all, they go to the Mormon church, and the public-relations [staff] give them a sweet, sugary story about how nice it is and how wonderful the church is—and it’s deceptive.”...Packham has even developed questions he offers to reporters to grill Romney about his faith. He suggests asking Romney whether, if the church no longer believes in polygamy, it believes the polygamist wives of church founders still join them in the afterlife. “Reporters don’t have the sense to ask: ‘Well, Brigham Young was sealed to about 50 wives, do you believe they are with him now in the Celestial Kingdom?’” Packham says.

Exactly right. If the Mormon supernatural worldview is true, Mormon leaders have "colonized" polygamy on another planet...[Which means they are lying thru their teeth & they know it...unless, of course, they think it's all a fantasy, anyway...and they stick with it for purely family/social reasons]

From the article: John Dehlin, while a member of the LDS Church...“A lot of reporters have told me they were waiting for Romney to clinch the nomination before they started putting stories out,” Dehlin says. “I think a lot of that stuff is going to be hitting now.”

Headline: The Anti-Mormon Moment...

Clarification...a better accurate headline would have said: The Anti-MormonISM Moment...

That would reflect that these counterfeit worldviews is what we oppose...for the apostle Paul said: ...our struggle is NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Mormons are not to be deemed "enemies"...they are of tremendous value to God, to their families and relatives, co-workers and neighbors.

I know lots of Mormons. I don’t agree with some of their beliefs and I think some of their beliefs are wonderful.

I don’t know many muslims. Don’t want to either. One in our White House is one too many.

...We’ve never had a period of—I’ll call it apostasy—like we’re having now.”

And neither has the CHRISTIAN world!!

But, from the begining, MORMONism's entire period has been HERESY!

The Anti-Mormon Moment: LDS critics capitalize on ...

The Anti-Mormon Christian Moment: people lacking knowledge of the Bible are being taught. Those ignorant of MORMONism are seeing it revealed.

“It isn’t coincidental that the church has got this ‘I Am a Mormon’ campaign going and that they are urging members to get on the Internet and spread their testimony,”

I'm a MORMON ...
