“As you know I am firm in my Latter-day Saint faith, and I believe in my Church so we are going to disagree on doctrinal matters, but there are many things people of different faiths have in common and by supporting one another in dealing with many of the problems we see in society we can do a lot of good together.”
I’ve worked on the World Congress of Families, where people of all conservative religions get together in defense of the family. Protestants of various denominations, Catholics, Mormons, Orthodox Jews, even Muslims. It scares the Left to death.
Only someone who wanted to defeat social conservatism would try to discourage people of different faiths from working together on important political/moral issues. That’s why I seriously wonder whether some of the anti’s who make a career out of attacking both Mormons and Catholics on FR aren’t actually Leftist plants.
That's ALMOST as good as calling us NAZIs.
Almost...
“Only someone who wanted to defeat social conservatism would try to discourage people of different faiths from working together on important political/moral issues.”
Oh, really? Is this the only possible reason? Could you explain your thought process that led you to this conclusion, lady? Could you also include any evidence that would support your belief?
Thanks,

Remarkable statement when two very prominent mormons are actually in the forefront of defeating conservatism - Reed and Romney. Better get your facts straight councilor
Oh, I get it. Lds general authorities like Bruce Hafen & Russell Nelson, & Nelson's wife, and CEO Deseret Exec Sheri Dew (& who knows what other Lds leaders) can come to the World Congress of Families & essentially try to do what Dew did...re: the title of one of her latest books...which ironically is called Saying It Like It Is...but if we come on just a forum like this one...and "Say It Like It Is" -- we're leftist plants???
Why do the Mormon leaders get pro-family forums to try to "Say It Like It Is" -- but you won't accord us the same vestige & privilege of freedom?
Still, how ironic is it that in the 1870s and 1880s Mormon leaders were bad-mouthing monogamy and how it was a lesser system because, they claimed, it contributed to prostitution, whereas, they claimed, a system of polygamy had no need for prostitution. And now, a mere 125-140 years later, you've got Lds general authorities like Bruce Hafen speaking at the World Congress of Families on titles like: Lovers Do Not Live for Themselves Alone: The Social Value of Traditional Marriage
(We're sure glad the Mormon god changes his social mind relatively quickly)
HA HA HA!!.
This post alone contradicts your screenname in it's entirety.
Why don't you check my posting history "lady"? Then try to sling that muck at me and see if it sticks.
Hi LL, it's been a while!
Just wanted to point out that that's a nice thing, working on society's problems. Fine for LDS, they beleive non-LDS get another chance after death. Christians know the truth - that one must choose BEORE death, and then it's too late.
So we're a little less concerned about "doing good for society" here on earth. What good are treasures in heaven if you're not the to claim them?
