Romney effect: Mormon/Latter-day Saints church in the spotlight

Is Harry Reid running for POTUS? No? I did not think so. Harry Reid is a Democrat... my kind of 'Mormon'! Ok?

In other words, you aren't really outraged at mormons. You just want to smear mormons to attack Romney.

And you think they are the ones that are untrustworthy... right

It's a new whisper campaign they've started. I was reading about it earlier tonight.

Giving out talking points as well in this anti Mormon whisper campaign. Unreal. There is no new low that these liberals won't go to.

Here's the link. At least they've been flushed out. This should actually have a thread of its own.

Obama Supporter Suggests Anti-Mormon Whisper Campaign

“I'm thinking that even though we don't LIKE campaigns to get nasty, we in the south (TN) come to EXPECT it,” a “team member” writes on the campaign Dashboard. The campaign removes the post after an inquiry.


Here's part of the article.

On Monday, a "team member" named Laurence De Palma, who lists his location as East Nashville, presented volunteers with some talking points to convince Southern Christian voters they shouldn't vote for a Mormon. The message was available under "Resources" and tagged "persuasion."

"I'm thinking that even though we don't LIKE campaigns to get nasty, we in the south (TN) come to EXPECT it," De Palma began. "What we also know is that we have a very 'rigid' view of Christianity, and apparently, Mormonism isn't anywhere in our views. This could easily win TN/SC/AL/GA, etc."

The post goes on to include brief, oversimplified summaries of Mormon doctrines, framed to clash with evangelical Christianity.

I've never really met a Mormon I didn't trust. I've met my share of Mormons and I've found that the majority of those I've met smile in your face but behind your back... watch out.

Mormons do not really befriend non-Mormons nor do they trust them. The only Mormons I've really gotten along with are called... Jack-Mormons.

True Mormons, I've discovered are to secretive with their hand-shakes and special underwear. Especially disturbing about Mormons is the subject... "curse of Cain", relating to black people and early Mormonism. Look it up people. It wasn't until a few years ago 1978, that Mormons were, (due to politically-correctness) forced to change their stance on blacks via the 1978 Revelation on Priesthood which supposedly changed things.

Wake up America!






Mormon in America: Latter-day Saints on 2012 election and significance of Romney campaign - Rock Center with Brian Williams

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints say that their faith has experienced increased attention and scrutiny as one of their most prominent members, Mitt Romney, prepares to accept the Republican presidential nomination.

"His candidacy has shed some light on our faith and I get more questions now about being a Latter-day Saint than I did before. So I think that's a great thing, that's a positive thing," said Al Jackson.

You are a bigot.

Actually, it's not a whisper campaign at all. The Evangelical christians in the GOP are a wary group indeed. They do not like Romney nor do they trust or support him at all. Not to mention the Southern Baptists.

evangelical baptists are lefties, hmm
 
BTW I love the accusation that we are secretive. We are so secretive that many of us spend years of our lives going door to door trying to teach people the things we are accused of hiding. It's totally amusing if you think about it.

Hey now !!!

My friend was telling me how a relative was kidnapped and held in the Salt Lake Temple until she jumped off the top into the Great Salt Lake and swam to safety.

I was ROTF....he had no idea why.

She must have had some strong legs...
 
Is Harry Reid running for POTUS? No? I did not think so. Harry Reid is a Democrat... my kind of 'Mormon'! Ok?

Harry Reid is a Mormon....just like Mitt Romney. Was this a dig at the Mormon Church or Mitt Romney.

The two faced nature of your sorry post is all to evident.


Both! But thanks for asking. The only good Mormon is a jack-Mormon!

Not surprising youd rather hang out with hypocrites who dont live what they claim to believe.

Secretive? The... 'Book of Mormon', nuff said!

That's my point. We hand it out for free. We encourage people to come to learn the Gospel. We want people to read the Book of Mormon and come to Church. We want people to live truth.

So evangelical Christians in the GOP are Obama supporters now?

Religion certainly didn't have any effect 4 years ago. Remember this guy--LOL--Obama's 20 year pastor Rev. Wright?

Now all of a sudden religion matters--:clap2:

Well, they can't have someone who believes that they are accountable to God for being honest, humble, wise stewards who are full of charity toward all and malice toward none in government. How will they get away with their corruption then?

I lived in Colorado for thirteen years. Living there, I had many Mormon friends, and I can honestly say they were all great people who tried to put family first. They would give the shirt off their back if they thought you needed it. That being said, they had the same problems as everyone else. Despite trying to put family first, I knew quite a few who had gone through divorce and who had financial problems, and who had kids who got into trouble with the law. Pretty much they were like everyone else. What I can't say is that any of them were really bad people. As for their religion, I don't buy into it, but I really don't see anything terribly wrong with it. Maybe it's all crap made up by Joseph Smith, and maybe not. The basic teachings are pretty much as would be throughout the rest of Christianity, although there are some distinctly differing beliefs, one being the fact they do not believe in the Trinity as God being all three.

When it comes to varying beliefs within Christianity, my question has always been does God really care if we are off just a slight bit but have a solid understanding of the basics? To me it seems that if God is just and all loving, he's not going to hold it against us if we missed one small point or forgot to don an "i" or cross a "t" along the way.
 
One of these days, I hope the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is seen for what it is and what it teaches and not for the crap people try to make up about us.

This explains so much.


I can understand why people might not believe. But why the need to make crap up? It was precisely that reason that made me think there was some truth to what the Church taught. Those who opposed it would just outright lie and misrepresent things. Some very obviously. And I asked myself, if your position is correct, why would you have to lie?


What's been made up? I've seen curiosity and speculation, but that's because Mormons are secretive. You know who else is secretive? Cults.

My guess is that they could not care less about the church.

This is simply a dig at Romney....pure and simple.

They want Obama to win at all costs....and who can blame them....the job market is tough.

How many Rightwingers on this site want to beat Obama at all costs? :lol:

Take a hint, son: wingnuts shouldn't try to do "righteous indignation".
