From the article: Mormons believe that the gospel will be propagated through the Book of Mormon, not the bible. (Doctrines and Covenants section 10)

Yet, strangely, the Book of Mormon ISN'T the source for ALL kinds of key Lds teachings...yet the Doctrine & Covenants repeatedly claims the Book of Mormon contains the FULNESS of the Mormon gospel! Mormon "sacred" things not found in the Mormon "sacred" BoM:

1. Church organizational structure and titles of leaders [Hey, we don't need to provoke pagans into laughter by coming up with religious titles like the bishopric, do we?]
2. gods...plural [due to insistance by some FReeper Mormons that they only worship one godhead, a few FI have begun referencing that belief as polymonotheism]
3. Plurality of wives doctrine [Ah. Polymonogamy]
4. Word of Wisdom [I guess the people of South America weren't very wise about Brazilian coffee]
5. God is an exalted man [Who knew this facebook boy would make it big? Hmm...a god who worshiped his own god/gods once upon a time, eh?]
6. Celestial marriage [If you want to become an eternal polygamist, current Lds church policy says you can...just make sure you secure permission of anybody you've divorced & get "married" to your multiple SERIAL spouses one at a time in the temple for eternity]
7. Men may become Gods ["Hey, God, move over...you can go ahead & take my measurements for my throne"]
8. Three degrees of glory [Mormons tout resurrection for all; yet John says there's a resurrection unto "damnation" (John 5:29) -- not too glorious]
9. Baptism for the dead [monopoly on the religio-necro industry, that's for sure! I think we should call this a polymonopoly on necro-baptisms...when are they going to open up fast-food-like windows to meet the demand to grow with more genealogical records online?]
10. Eternal progression [at least til you hit the ceiling of your assigned glory...you terrestials aren't getting out!]
11. The Aaronic Priesthood [yeah, like the Bible -- apostle Paul -- says, these 12-year-old "elders" better keep to one wife!]
12. Temple works of washings, anointing, endowments, sealing; along with temple -- at least for its newly re-purposed usage [I guess the people of the Book of Mormon times weren't very "sacred" compared to contemporary Mormons]

From the article: Mormons believe that you can own your own planet if you are a good Mormon, married in the temple and tithe.

Strange that many Lds deny this obvious repeated teaching STILL taught in Mormon courses to its young today!

Fine,this strong effort to expose Obamas religion in the last campaign seems to have fallen flat as recent polls show many still don’t know what obamas religion is,so I would love to revisit that debate.We could , look in depth at Black Liberation Theology and see that all Obama thinks about is a Marxist Black ideology.So by all means bring it on

And don’t forget Obama and the commie Demorats will go after Romney for his church history of discrimination against blacks.

It will take everything we have to get this Marxist/Muslim usurper out of our White House.

(ThyBlackMan.com) If you remember during the 2008 Presidential election, there was a strong effort to try to expose the faith of then Senator Obama. Many tried to label him an extremist because of his connection with the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright.


You are evidently referring to other news than what we get here on Free Republic, because it appears that the bashing of Romney and Mormonism is about all we get here.

I do not hold to Mormonism any more than i do any other false doctrine from many other Churches, just saying that i see a lot about Romney and Mormonism here.
