LDS is a cult and these “rites” are all meaningless. The dead belong to the God Who made them, and He shall judge where and how they will spend eternity.

It’s a cult with a lot of money and influence. Its also satanic and needs to be confronted with the truth.

Another example of how mormonism still practices polygamy.

Expect more articles like this inthe mainstream meadia should mittens be given the nod.

The Liberal Rally cry will be:

“Obama 2012, cause Romney’s religion is weird....”
(and Dems can denigrate religion because they are “tolerant” )

How can it be binding when neither "bride" or "groom" can be present to say their I Do's?

You’d have to be insane to worry about something like this.

Nope.
It will be Obama 2012, because Romney is just like me.
Or why go with Romney when we are the same, Obama 2012.

Not disagreeing, but we do have religious freedom, those things Mormons do and teach are religion just like some other Church doctrines that are known of.

Never mind that it is not truth, the first amendment protects freedom of religion and take that away and we would be cutting our own throats as we would not be able to preach the Gospel because the Gospel has been equated with religion.

And up until the time when people wake up and realize that religion may or may not have anything to do with Jesus ( the son of God ) and his Gospel we are going to need to defend freedom of religion, because there is no such amendment that protect the freedom of truth which can only come from the gospel of Jesus.

The mormons can do what they want, who has said otherwise?
As Christians we are commanded to call out false prophets, that is what this article is doing.
mormonism was started by a false prophet, it needs to be exposed for what it is - blasphemy.

You are probably a smart man. Too bad your hate for Mormons keeps you from working for something that really counts, such as the defeat of Obama.

What's interesting is that these stories are now showing up in Left media like Slate. As soon as Romney becomes a certainty, I would expect these stores to then go into the MSM broadcast branch. Will reporters then be raising these issues with Romney on the trail? All these people breathing a sigh of relief that Santorum with his supposed extreme views on JFK etc. is no longer a possibility may be in for rude awakening.

Church doctrine teaches that marriages performed within LDS temples “seal” husband and wife together not only for mortality but for eternity.

If that is true I guess I'll have to convert. I was widowed, as was my current wife. If I'm still married to my late wife, I'd better change to Mormanism so I'll be allowed to have multiple wives.

You are probably a smart man, to bad you can’t tell the difference between exposing mormonism and the love of all and want none to be denied God Almighty.

Quoting from YOUR tag line: “Romney/BHO only difference - one thinks he will be god, they other one thinks he already is.”

Any fool who believes that... and admits it... needs to be back in The Home.

They are also demonstrating that they are far from Conservative, but rather a religious fanatic... and we don’t need any more Taliban here, we need fewer Obama’s in office.

Articles like this idiocy only serve to help Obama stay in office.

Whether it’s true or not, this is the garbage we will have to put up with in the fall if Romney is the nominee. How do you begin to defend against this kind of thing? This line of attacks will chop Romney down another 10 points by November. I will definitely vote for Mitt come Election Day, but I am not happy about having to defend religious weirdness.

I suppose I could argue that Mitt grew up in it, he’s a person of deep loyalty, etc., ......help!

People will go out of the way to cast dirt on the LDS church, so far as to work the system within the church to arrange smutty associations then step outside and claim the work was an honest and legitimate intention of misguided members. It’s kind of like sabotage, Those doing it are turning around and denouncing it. LDS church policy is to keep a lid on it, and excommunicate those intentionally responsible. It’s been as simple as getting a gullible person to take a dubious ordinance request to the temple and submit it.

My understanding, derived from Mormon relatives, is that it is only 'binding' IF the deceased in Paradise accept.

IOW, like "baptism for the dead", it is conditional; and it is all LDS BS, since:

Matt 22:29-30

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
KJV
