This young man should thank the Lord and take this as a third warning to embrace the Jesus of the Bible and leave the cult of Smith! The LDS cult, like the cult of mohamed, consists of lies from the pit of hell.

I once played softball with a guy who was a king of bad luck. He was once representing a car dealership by driving a new car in a local 4th of July parade and had the rear end run over by a tank. In the fall he was at a Detroit Lions football game when someone in the upper deck dropped a full glass of beer hitting him in the head and giving him a concussion......

“Mormons will make a hero of him and he’ll do the circuit of wards and firesides, with the story winding back to the power of the priesthood and the wonder of the restored gospel.”

I wonder if he's a DIRECT DECENDENT of Jesus.

There were 4 Mormon missionaries in the airport when the bomb went off. His religion was mentioned because he is currently serving on his mission in Belgium. His story is peculiar because it is the third time he has been in proximity to muslim terrorist acts. He got hurt this time.

Military commitments are the exception. Just don’t leave the base. Long ago in Subic Bay comes to mind, I never left the base except when we were “in the country”.

Haven’t met a Mormon missionary that wasn’t.

I had two Mormon female missionaries come to my house once, about 20 some odd years ago.

They were drop dead gorgeous!..................................
