Mitt Romney's Mormon Secrets [Temple oaths, secrets, secret tokens/passwords to heaven revealed]

In all the extensive media coverage of Mitt Romney... not a word have I seen about the secrets of Mormonism, the secrets of Romney's life-long beliefs and practices...

SNIP

And why does Romney (and his church) want to keep people from knowing those secrets? Most Mormons will claim that they are not "secret," but merely..."sacred"...Mormons hold any number of other aspects...to be "sacred," and yet they don't hesitate to discuss them (for example: baptism, conferring the gift of the Holy Ghost, ordination to the priesthood, etc.)...

...I am going reveal those secrets...

SNIP

Part of the endowment ritual instructs the Mormons in the four "signs" and "tokens" of the Mormon priesthood. Each also has a "name" (or password)...The purpose of the signs and tokens, according to Mormon Prophet Brigham Young, is that they will be needed to pass the angels guarding the gates of heaven. The tokens are various handshakes, copied largely from the Masonic initiation rites of the 1830s, when church founder Joseph Smith was initiated into Freemasonry...

SNIP

So Mitt Romney, and all other righteous Mormons, can be confident that they know the secret passwords and secret handshakes to get into heaven. Do you see why Romney and his church are reluctant for "unworthy" people (the rest of us, including Mrs. Romney's parents) to know about this?...

The actions that were going to guarantee my entrance at the gates...would have nothing to do with love or charity or the other teachings of Christ...I hadn't heard a single one of those words spoken today, the most primary day of religious instruction in my entire life. No, I was going to burst into heaven on the basis of mumbo-jumbo...Did all the white-suited glorifiers in the room unquestioningly accept a ritual of nutty gestures from the pseudo-occult as a sacrament?...

I am confused. Why would you try and be a Christian, you either are or you are not a Christian.
mormonism is not Christianity
Romney is who he is because of his mormonsim not in spite of it.
Smith tried to blend all sorts of stuff into his bastardized version of Christianity at the same time condemning all Christians and Catholics as an abomination and whores of Babylon.

Someone deleted one of my posts. That’s it. I’m Outta here.

(FREEPERS, you'll have to put this one in your memory bank...If ya want Vaquero to vamoose in a future thread...tell him/her one of his/her posts was deleted [it really was in this thread]...and he/she will "self-delete" from the rest of that thread!)

It is not possible to be a Christian atheist.

And I am sick of all this holier than though crud...

[magritte]

Actually, you’ve not said anything. WHAT is Romney going to do, Mormonwise, that you fear? I don’t fear him ...he belongs to some obscure Christian sect like a JW or a Quaker. What did Nixon do? Taft?

LOL!

Believe what you want and hate those who dont. I dont care

- - - - -
You don’t get it do you? We don’t hate them, we love them enough to speak the truth about Mormonism. This isn’t about being ‘holier than thou’, quite the opposite it is about sharing Christ.

You need to do your research before you mouth off.

I read the “Early Mormonism...” book years ago. Every page was a revelation.

Yup.

#73 WAS sure full of it!

"Granddad grew up in Mexico with his siblings and half siblings and more besides born in Mexico.. Willard has a lot of cousins who still live there..."

My grandfather was born in Juarez. I used to have old uncles who came to the house to see my dad, and they were all from Mexico.

True...except in ones own mind

The sanctimony’s strong in this one!

[Vaquero]

Yup..... #73 WAS sure full of it!

Nice, short, concise... Not filled with the usual verbosity...I give this 1 an A-.

[Elsie]

You’ve very well described the mechanics of it.

Now; how about the CONTENT?

[Vaquero]

I was refering to #129....as the improvement post

[Elsie]

WHY are you SKIPPING #73?

[Vaquero]

we have a violent religious enemy...it is know as Islam (and do not forget the religion of Marxism).

I am not going to be blind sided worrying about a religion that is not blowing up my people...

if the enemy of my enemy is my friend...then currently the LDS is my ‘friend’.

[MarkBsnr]

they say polygamy is so beneficial for the soul because it challenges you to be your best person, to rise above your jealousy

A sharp knife works even better...

So they say.

[Elsie]

Ok; I get it. You're n ot going to commit yourself one way or the other.

I do not feel threatened by it because I don’t think that they will be attempting to convert by the sword.

 

The gruesome be headings of some 40 Ute corpses in 1850, heads stacked in boxes,

and hung by their long hair from the eves of buildings at Fort Utah,

 has long been ignored, “You didn’t see the Indians beheading the Mormons.”
