Many naive Americans believe that Mormonism is merely another branch of protestant Christianity. Well that’s not what the founders and leaders of Mormonism believed.
According to its founder, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young, Smith’s successor, Mormons are the only true people of God on the earth. All non-Mormons and their religions are “wrong, an abomination, blind, damned, of the devil, whores, not Christians, groveling in darkness, heathens, ignorant, devoid of fact, pagan and hatched in Hell.”
When Romney made a speech about his religion in 2008 he refused to distance himself from his faith and fully affirmed his Mormonism. Responding to critics, Romney said,
"They would prefer it if I would simply distance myself from my religion, say that it is more a tradition than my personal conviction, or disavow one or another of its precepts. That I will not do. I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers - I will be true to them and to my beliefs."
Romney, the father of homosexual marriage in America and abortion funding Romney Care in Massachusetts, flip-flops on virtually every issue, but he is adamant about his anti-Christian Mormonism. Romney needs the vote of Christians to win election, but he refuses to “disavow one or another of its precepts.”
Nor can anyone think Romney is merely a casual or cultural Mormon who just happened to be born Mormon. He is an active Bishop in the Mormon church hierarchy. He cannot pretend to be ignorant of the teaching of Joseph Smith and the other “prophets” of Mormonism.
Below is a list of quotes from Mormon leaders and official publications starting with Joseph Smith down to our day. The message is consistent and clear.

LDS Church Denies Attempting To Impede Justice In The Susan Brock Case; Fulton Brock Outraged Over Rumors Of His Involvement
How about the good old family rearing of Mormon Josh Powell.
Now THERE’S a role model!
http://www.seattlepi.com/local/slideshow/Susan-Powell-s-sons-Josh-Powell-die-in-arson-fire-36785.php
LOLOL! I always look forward to reading your views and insights, dear brother in Christ!
As will I.
Me too..
Yep...whole lotta Freepers more than happy to do obammy's dirty work. It's a crying shame.
The Susan Powell case where the husband killed the children, the wife still missing.
The reason why people don't hear about Mormon crimes is that they have to read beyond the headlines to find out whether the people involved are mormons or not.
I live in a close swing state so my vote counts....It is going to Romney however good Virgil Goode is. I am sure I agree with him more than Romney
I am voting my conscience and my conscience says job #1 is getting Obama out. Then good can flow from that if we work on Romney and Congress. But Obama is immune to our influence plus his agenda is to really wreck America in term #2....this is plain as day
I live in Ohio so my vote counts.
The Constitution Party garnered 200,000 votes in Ohio for their candidate for the lowly position of Attorney General in the last cycle election.
That’s huge! There is a huge hunger for a conservative candidate for the presidency.
As will I, and down ticket for conservatives ONLY.
LOL!
I know!
I have gotten a PHD on the whole process but hope to be ready for snowboarding by about December, so long as I diligently follow the recovery process and instructions.
Gonna take some kinda patience.
muslim ... thats much worse than mormons.
_______________________________________________
Not according to the mormons..
To them Christianity is worse than Islam..
The great great grandfather of Willard Mitt Romney...
(One of his “fathers of faith” that Willard agrees with)
On this account, on the simple subject of the Deity and His worship, if nothing more, I should rather incline, of the two, after all my early traditions, education, and prejudices, to the side of Mahomet, for on this point he is on the side of truth, and the Christian world on the side of idolatry and heathenism.” - Apostle Parley P. Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p.38
“..instead of saying that Mahometanism prevailed against Christianity, and that Christianity was in danger of being done away by its prevalence, we would rather say, that where Mahometanism prevailed, it taught and established one truth at least, viz., the true and living God, and so far as this went, it did preserve people from worshipping idols. And had the crescent waved on the tower of London, or on the church of St. Paul, instead of the cross, and had the Mahometan religion been enforced instead of the Roman religion that was enforced for a series of generations, and had tradition riveted what the sword enforced, then that nation and the surrounding nations would have been worshippers of one true God instead of idols; - Apostle Parley P. Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p.39
my rational faculties would compel me to admit that the Mahometan history and Mahometan doctrine was a standard raised against the most corrupt and abominable idolatry that over perverted our earth, found in the creeds and worship of Christians, falsely so named.” - Apostle Parley P. Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p.40
So far as that one point is concerned, of worshipping the one true God under the name of Mahometanism, together with many moral precepts, and in war only acting on the defensive, I think they have exceeded in righteousness and truthfulness of religion, the idolatrous and corrupt church that has borne the name of Christianity.” - Apostle Parley P. Pratt, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 3, p.41
And so what does Willard think about that ???
Mitt Romney, Dec, 2007, speaking @ the George Bush Presidential Library: “I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers – I will be true to them and to my beliefs.”
“I think the old standby definitions of who votes for which party have been blown away in this campaign. I think people recognize that I’m not a partisan Republican—that I’m someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive.”
-Mitt Romney (2002)
Will Mormons’ racial history be a problem for Mitt Romney?
...Tim Russert noted that Romney was 31 when the priesthood ban was lifted in 1978. “Didn’t you think, ‘What am I doing part of an organization that is viewed by many as a racist organization?’” Russert asked.
“I’m very proud of my faith, and it’s the faith of my fathers,” Romney answered. “And I’m not going to distance myself from my faith in any way.”
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2840950/posts
“Which path would Mitt Romney have taken?” asks the onscreen text. The video recalls Romney’s contention, in an April 2007 interview with the Associated Press, that Americans will not be markedly safer if bin Laden were killed and that “it’s not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.”
Romney stated: “I believe in my Mormon faith and endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers. I will be true to them and to my beliefs,”
and this is what you are anxious to replace Obama with..
Conservative down ticket is exactly right.
If they aren’t conservative, then I wonder if they’re even breathing. How can a conscious human being believe the drivel that liberals do?
Then good can flow from that

Same with Mormonism
Thousands were murdered, some hunted down to other states, during the 1800s
and even into the 1900s and yes even now in the 21st Century..
Have you been off planet for a while? Ever heard of Harry Reid?
The Moslems..
They call christians and jews monkeys and cattle to be slaughtered.

Mormons call Christians “the Whore of Babylon” and mock pastors in their Mormon temple ceremonies..
and yes there are those forever blood oathes of vengenge to their 4th generation that George Romney swore to and Willard agrees with..
vengence and death against the US government and non-Mormons for the death of Joey Smith...
Today I am a Pentecostal/"word of faith" guy. You cannot imagine what is said about my faith by "mainstream" Christians. So it doesn't strike me as unusual at all that "mormonism" considers others to be guilty of these same things.
Keep on equating ANY religion to Islam, the most evil ideology the planet has ever seen, it just makes you look clueless and ignorant. Dont ping me anymore, Im ashamed to share the great state of Tennessee with such naivety or outright DNC agitprop.
