Bush, Monson (LDS Pres.)talk politics, economy (OPEN)
website ^ | 5/30/08 | Salt Lake Trib

Posted on 05/30/2008 4:25:42 PM PDT by Revelation 911

Bush to meet with LDS leadersPresident Bush chatted for nearly an hour Thursday with LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson about issues including U.S. foreign policy, Middle East peace, the economy and energy, according to White House press secretary Dana Perino.

The Mormon leader also mentioned his long-standing friendship with Bush's parents, Perino said.

The meeting at Monson's office in the LDS Church Administration Building in downtown Salt Lake City began around 8:30 a.m. At about 9:40 a.m., Bush's motorcade emerged from underground parking on North Temple and headed straight for the airport.

The courtesy call was Bush's first meeting with Monson and his two counselors, Henry B. Eyring and Dieter President Bush waves as he disembarks Marine One Thursday in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Mormon church leaders. The president visited Utah for two fundraisers Wednesday on behalf of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. (Douglas C. Pizac/The Associated Press)F. Uchtdorf, since they were installed in February after the death of President Gordon B. Hinckley.

Monson, who was first counselor to Hinckley in the governing First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was present during 2005 and 2006 meetings between Bush and Mormon leaders. In 2002, Monson joined Hinckley in greeting Bush before he attended the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games.

On Wednesday, Monson, Uchtdorf and Julie B. Beck, general president of the church's women's Relief Society, got a personal tour of Air Force One. "He meets with [the First Presidency] regularly and thinks that they have a good role to play in America, in terms of spreading the word of love," Perino said Wednesday. "I don't think the president would ever pass up an opportunity to meet with the president of the Mormon church." pstack@sltrib.com

No that is your lack of wisdom!

Really?

I can spell the word "excited" correctly.

I also don't buy off on the Planet Kolob.

Moreover, the Gospel of Christ wasn't "restored" by a 19th Century man who screwed more women than most of today's rock stars.

I'll put my Wisdom to the test next to yours Resty any day of the week.

Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Thanks, but there seems to be a Double Standard here on FR.

The LDS can get away with anything.

The RM can prove me wrong.

Most fruit trees that I am aware of have roots...and when the roots are shallow, diseased, rotten....eventually the tree dies.

Very well said buddy.

Dude, Those “people” don’t deserve rights! They are some sort of “mormon” and are not really people, let alone Americans!/sarc
They will never be convicted with this fiasco because it was all started on a baseless accusation with CPS jumping the gun not unlike Waco TX.
Even so that typical anti’s won’t touch that one since the Supreme Court ruled in favor of parental rights and have slapped CPS’s back-side.

Resty...

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever. Psalm 111:10

The false prophet Joseph Smith had no fear of God and therefore had no wisdom..

He refused to obey the commandments of God...but wrote his own blasphemous evil doctrines of men..

He refused to praise God...instead he demanded that his followers praise him..

Is it wise to follow God or the man, Joseph Smith ???
