First of all, instead of answering my concerns about part of the claims about Romney from the author, Ms Erickson, you ignored them.
As to your charge:
“and his mormonism say it’s OK to lie to any other than a mormon for his agenda”
I am unaware of the LDS scriptual, theological position that supports the claim that “his” agenda, Romney’s political agenda, is something for which it is theologically O.K., in the LDS, for Romney to lie about. Can you find it for us.
Again, I am not a Romney supporter, and I fervently hope he will not be the GOP candidate.
Howvever, to hold that position I am not in need of hyperbolic claims about Romney and his religion.
Our worst enemie in life is often the one who says they are our best friend, but will do anything to prove it, including making false claims against our opponents; making our cause look illegitimate.
I have no intention of supporting Romney for any reason. I also have no intention of making our opposition to Romney look stupid, by giving knee-jerk acceptance to simply any claim about Romney, no matter how unproven it might be.
Me, also. And I'm not the spokesperson for Ms Erickson. I learned about her book just like you did, on this thread.
If you are interested - read her book and you tell me. I went backwards - I watched mitt's antics and back stabbing and non accomplishments and heard his lies. He is a KNOWN liar and a fraud and mormonism had nothing to do with me coming to that decision back then. Then, recently, I read about mormonism here and then it all clicked.
So I can't help you. You have to see it for yourself after you gain some knowledge.
by giving knee-jerk acceptance to simply any claim about Romney, no matter how unproven it might be.
What you call knee-jerk acceptance - I call wisdom and discernment. And without any knowledge I am unaware of the LDS scriptual, theological position that supports how can you, honestly, say they are unproven? It seems more like you have an agenda.
All breakaway LDS Sect missionaries are taught when and how to lie at BYU’s Missionary training center. A course is given that was prepared by Robert Millet in which they are taught that telling the whole truth about the LDS cult to non-members is like “casting your pearls before swine”, that potential members who ask deep honest questions need to be protected from the full truth and aspects of history that are “not helpful”, using techniques like “answering the question that should have been asked” and sticking to a “milk before meat” indoctrination process. Even after folks are baptized into mormonism, they are kept separate from the other members for a year while this brainwashing process continues away from a larger portion of the full truth.
