Please name conservative elected lds officials?

[svcw]

One example of gossip.
I really think what is going on here is that you may have envy envy.

[Graybeard58]

He did name Bob Bennet, recently ousted from his seat.

Conservative?

The GOP Convention in Utah didn’t think so.

[Graybeard58]

I do not know if Bennet was LDS or not.

[svcw]

BB is not a conservative. I mean some people even try and say Romney is a conservative.

[colorcountry]

Bennett is LDS and a RINO.

There is a truly conservative member of the House who is LDS. Jason Caffetz is known for his leadership in the Tea Party caucus. Time will tell.

Mormons are just like anyone else. There a conservative LDS, liberal LDS, ethical ones, criminal ones, good and bad.

They all need salvation.

Gossip is a passive-agressive form of malice favored by women. Envy wears many disguises.

WOW

Is this something that the mormon guys are taught in their pesthood meetings ???

That when men do it its called “discernment”

But when woman do it is called “gossip” ???

Good thing we now know that men do it disguised as women...

That was what you meant right ???

[Tennessee Nana]

The MWA can be defined as the tendency of LDS individuals to perceive those who are wealthy as more righteous or pious than their less wealthy neighbors.

Just imagine what they thought of Mother Teresa...

And then theres the Biblical Jesus...

Jesus said, “Foxes haves holes, birds have nests, but the Son of man has no place to rest His head”...Matthew 8:20, Luke 9:58

for your sakes He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. ... 2 Corinthians 8:9

There are exceptions but in general Mormons are politically conservative, more so than most religious groups.

Bull!

The ELECTED MORMONs are very solidly on the LEFT of Conservatism!

Do I need to post a LIST?

[meadsjn]

Anyone who pushes for a "biblical" form of government, or a "religious" form of government, is corrupt, insane, or ignorant to the max.

And yet so MANY of our laws are based on Biblical concepts.

Amazing; ain't it!

And there are some pretty strong and perfectly valid arguments that Communism is based on Biblical concepts, perhaps even more so than any governments of Western Civilization.

And of all the societies and governments discussed in the Old and New Testaments, not a single one of them bore the slightest resemblance to a Constitutional Republican form of government, and not a single one of them would be suitable for a modern civilization.

There is a whole world of difference between "borrowing a few concepts" from the Bible, and "structuring a government based on the Bible" or any other religious basis.

During the development of the US Constitution, there was no shortage of wannabee religious tyrants who wanted to inject their personal congregational dogma into the Constitution, and the framers wisely sent them packing. There is likewise today, no shortage of wannabee religious tyrants who would like to recreate our Constitutional Republic into some kind of religious tyranny based on their narrow-minded method of worship and faith.

Religious tyranny is no more desirable than any other sort, and will be fought against and defeated by freedom-loving patriots just as fervently as any other sort.

There is little doubt that our founders and framers were in fact "religious and moral" people, but they were wise enough to differentiate between their personal religious beliefs (which would NOT provide a unifying foundation across all congregations and faiths), and a unifying Constitutional Republic, with a separate guarantee in the Bill of Rights, of each person's right to worship, or not, as each person sees fit.

Sent packing?

So THAT's how we ended up with a Living Document and ABORTION as LAW of the land!

[meadsjn]

Sent packing?

English translation for the pathetically ignorant: sent packing, disinvited, kicked out, got the boot, deported, sent away, 86'ed, kicked to the curb, defenestrated, etc., etc.

So THAT's how we ended up with a Living Document and ABORTION as LAW of the land!

You can do some google searches for US History timelines, and I'll bet you'll find that there were many generations between the time of the writing of the US Constitution, and the time of the US Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs. Wade.
