Park Romney: Why he turned against the Mormon church
BBC News ^ | 03/26/2012 | BBC News

Posted on 03/25/2012 9:34:54 PM PDT by EnglishCon

Mitt Romney, the front runner in the race for the Republican Presidential nomination for the White House, is a devout Mormon, but his cousin, Park Romney, also in the past a committed member of the church, now denounces it as a cult.

"I became convinced that it's a fraud," Park Romney told the BBC, explaining his reason for leaving the Mormon fold.

The two visions of Mormonism the Romney cousins present could not be more starkly opposed.

Park Romney, 56, is a former Mormon high priest, who turned against the church.

On the stump Mitt Romney, 65, has avoided mentioning Mormonism, instead talking generally about his faith, but he has been an active lifelong member of the church.

Mormonism _IS_ Scientology, with a plastic dashboard jesus glued on top.

That’s about how “christian” is mormonism.

It’s a huge identity theft of the true Jesus Christ.

or do you want to make up rules for him to follow?

Make up rules?

Not me; I just wanted to show that he was ALREADY known as 'ROCK'; before the verses that Catholicism uses to 'prove' that Peter was the ROCK; NOT the declaration of "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."


16. Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17. Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.

However when it gets to the content and text of their faith in a legitimate debate, that's not my fight.

That's ok; for there are a LOT of us are WILLING and ABLE to expose the FACTS of MORMONism's heresy of the CHRISTIAN religion.
