My wife and I have and value Mormon friends but have always had severe reservations about the church itself and many of the patently absurd beliefs. However, I think that we are likely to be bent over with nausea by the savage attracts on Mormons that are coming from Obama and friends. Eventually the country will either have a Marxist dictatorship or a long term civil war. When you are at the point where you like Muslims a whole lot more tha progressives . . .
More mormon bashing.
Actually, the article has some errors.
For example, losing a temple recommend does not keep you from attending baptisms of friends or relatives. These do not occur in the temples, but in the local meeting houses and all are invited. It is the ordinance of “baptism for the dead”, which is discussed in Peter in the New Testament, that occurs in the temple and that is where someone stands in as proxy for a person who has died and a baptism occurs for them which those individuals can then elect to accept or reject up in the spirit world as they await judgement.
Same thing for weddings. Any orthadox wedding that is not a temple wedding, which are performed there for time and all eternity, can be attended if the couple elect to be married in a LDS Chapel instead of an LDS Temple.
Anyhow, those are a couple of inconsistancies that should be set straight.
Losing a temple recommend because you, in essence, are turning against the Church and rejecting its basic teachings (like the validity of the restoration through Jospeh Smith, or the validity of the Book of Mormon) means that you cannot attend temple ceremonies like the ones I described, but not that you can’t attend the same types of ceremonies performed outside the temple, or attend regular meetings of the church in its chapels each week.
The lds-org denies that Jesus is the Creator, that everything was created BY Him.
The lds-org is a thief of the Name and the Truth of Jesus Christ.
When relatives found out four years ago that he was venting about the church online, they called his church and he was removed from leadership, he says, for expressing doubts about the literal truth of Mormonism. He lost his temple recommend a credential showing you are a good, orthodox Mormon, which means he cant attend weddings and baptisms even of relatives or close friends, because those rituals happen in the temple and only Mormons in good standing are allowed in.

THe same thing happens to people who “vent about Obama online” and “doubt the literal truth of Obamaism”
Ya lose yer freedoms and ya get arrested...
Both religions are somewhat equal in importance and validity..

I'll bet millions of people will read this fair and insightful WashPo piece and realize what a horror the Mormon Church is, which will lead them to realize what a horror Mitt Romney would be as president and that will send them screaming into the fleshy arms of Virgil Goode.
Good job! You're making a difference.
Zealots and the the outside world never mix well. Am so thankful for the 2nd Amendment which protects me from these nutcases.
The most important reason that I oppose Romney has nothing to do with what he believes. My main reason for opposing Romney is because he really doesn’t believe in anything other than his own personal advancement.
Hi,
I wanted to share a verse I heard a Catholic apologist
state shows Jesus Christ IS GOD. A new one to me.
John 17:4
I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. [5] And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.
