YEAH. SURE.

so they didn’t have the courage to do it quietly according to their conscience, but did it en mass, just in time to embarass Romney.

Coincidence?

Wonder why the numbers were so low: there’s a lot more than 150 Jack mormons in SLC...I guess most of the Jack Mormons decided that this was political, not religious...

I didn't see anybody comment upon this one graph from the article? (Why not?)

From the article: The church bills itself as the one “true” Christian faith, and its theology promises families eternal relationships among those who remain faithful, sealing those gifts through special religious rites.

********************************

The middle portion of that graph -- "its theology promises families eternal relationships among those who remain faithful" -- means that mainstream Mormons still practice eternal polygamy in their own eyes...as long as they get sequentially married to serial partners in their temple.

So much for the Mormonistic PR lie that even in their own eyes, polygamy somehow went by the wayside!

***************************************

And the first part of that graph -- "The church bills itself as the one “true” Christian faith..." -- is based upon Mormon "scripture" below cited below:

Snapshot of Joseph Smith’s Slanderous Invectives vs. Christian Sects

Mormon Source

Mormon church the only ‘Christ-sanctioned’ church on earth: “…the foundation of this [Mormon] church…the ONLY true and living church on the face of the whole earth” [Obvious ‘scorched earth’ implication: All other churches are false and dead] Lds “scripture” Doctrines & Covenants 1:30

I find it absolutely amazing that we have so many FREEPER conservatives...
...reared in fairly tolerant homes...
...and having rec'd secular high school and college campuses "multi-cultural" education -- including religiously "multi-cultural" education --
--yet somehow their voices utterly fail to even comment upon Mormonism's exclusive claim that "We're the only real church in town."

Why is that? (If you're a FREEPER and you go to a non-Mormon church, why do essentially "Amen!" the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as it goes on singing how "dead" and how "false" your church is?????????)

So much for the Mormonistic PR lie that it's "tolerant" toward other churches!!!!!!!!!!!
