“And yet, with “thousands of sources of truth,” you present the Parowan Prophet as your source. Here’s a picture of the man:”

You guys are sooooo desperate that now we will have two years of “FastCoyote is a believer in the Parowan man”. I grabbed a single post that seemed to encapsulate some of the roots of the Whithorse Prophecy and now instead of addressing those salient points, we will be lead down the typical rabbithole of disception.

Here is the root question: will the Whithorse Prophecy come to play in the current election. EVEN if the Parowan Prophet is a loon, the answer is still yes. IN FACT, if he is a loon, IT FURTHER proves my point that we are in for 9.5 years of discussion of the bizarre if Romney is the nominee. But have at it, you have nothing else in your bag but spin.

My point is that you cite a survivalist lunatic as a reliable source and yet you tell me that I have to be more selective in what I believe on the Internet. At the Google link you gave me for "White Horse Prophecy" the very first document linked contains this:

It cannot be said that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints accepts the White Horse Prophecy as official or binding. It also is true that nothing in the so called prophecy is quoted or used by authorities in the Church. It is true that there is language the so-called prophecy that is found elsewhere in historically verifiable records.

The prophecy that contains the concept of the Constitution of the United States being challenged and then saved by the Elders of the Church is accepted as a prophecy of Joseph Smith. There is evidence that the he repeated it more than once and it was commonly understood and accepted. It has been quoted many times by leaders of the Church. It is nevertheless not part of the Church canon and is therefore not binding upon the membership of the Church as a whole.

It is very clear that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints does not believe that there will be a time when the government of the United States or the world will be assumed by the Church or its members. Rather it is the clear expectation that the Constitution and the government of the United States will survive the future predicted crisis because of the support that will be given by the Elders of the Church.

The White Horse Prophecy

But the apocalyptic nut job from Parowan is more credible in your book. And even if this were a true, binding prophecy, so what? The Constitution of the United States will be rescued and upheld by the church. How is that a bad thing? The church fights to save the country from destruction and this, in your book, is a bad thing. Now that's spin.
