So you think Romney will impose his Mormon beliefs on you??? LOL!!!
The current president is imposing his SOCIO-POLITICAL views on this nation.
So tell me, what do Mormons feel about wealth redistribution, confiscatory taxes, a weakened military and class warfare?? No, go on...I’ve got a few mins.
You sure you’re on the right site?
Ignore the posters. You are being attacked by the Spam Dog Pack (SPD). They are a ping group. They ping each others to the threads to attack anyone that disagrees with their spam. They were hanging out only in the religion threads, but now have begun spamming non-religion topics. They are cyber bullies. If you want the list, I will post it.
Allow me to give both a Mormon historical primer on this subject -- as well as clue you in a bit on how Mormon socio-political dictates can come at a whim @ the hand of an 88 yo (or guy in his 90s) edict.
Let's start with the history portion:
We know...
...Mormon founder Joseph Smith was running for POTUS the year he died -- that he had actually declared himself "King" and was mayor of a city (Nauvoo, IL) that was even bigger than Chicago at the time...and Smith was also the head of a large militia force...
...That Smith's ensuing "prophet," Brigham Young, was not only prophet but territorial governor who interfered in bringing Mormons to justice (i.e. Mountain Meadows Massacre).
...that 3rd "prophet" John Taylor eventually hated "the United Order" -- socialist/communist communities that his previous "prophets" put into place in communities like Orderville, Kanab, Brigham City, St. George, Bunkerville, Nevada, etc...they had 200 such communistic communities planned...but became extinct by 1900.
...Lorenzo Snow, the 5th Mormon "prophet" 1898-1901, had even run one of these communist cities (the one in Brigham City, Utah).
You can see the communistic bent rife thru the earlier Lds leaders. (Please also consult row #1 -- right three columns -- of chart in post #16 ... one quote which a Mormon writer even acknowledged it all as "communism" -- and how it inspired Russian communism)
As I said, Lorenzo Snow -- the guy who coined the famous Lds phrase that God was once a man, and men could become gods -- before becoming an Lds "prophet" in 1898, founded the United Order community of Brigham City.
A Utopian author (Bellamy) then visited Brigham City in 1886. That all reinforced Bellamy's ideas in his book.
Lenin got ahold of Bellamy's book; and further injected utopian Marxism into Soviet Russia.
In the interim (back in Utah), this ballad crops up about Orderville after it appears that one of the sons of the Lds presiding elder of that town (Alvin Heaton), murders a pregnant girl (Mary Steavens) he refused to marry in 1890. Apparently, he was convicted & sent to prison. (see Givens, p. 190, in book cited in post #16)
(So much for Mormon "Utopia")
…Joseph Smith’s original idea of his Mormon communistic "United Order" -- was something he falsely prophesied would be everlasting (You can see this STILL on the Mormon "scripture" books ... Doctrine & Covenants 82:20; 104:1)
Since this communistic "united order" was prophesied by Smith to be "everlasting," any given Lds "prophet" can bring them back anytime...In fact, if they don't, that would just prove Joseph Smith was a false prophet...so I think given the choice, they'd prefer bringing communism back.
You betcha! I'm on a GOD/family/country site and NOT a godless site.
Aof, TRq's, They want a STRONG militia [danites], they be doing RELIGIOUS 'warfare' now!
