Mormon church gives first lady volume of family history

 

 

WASHINGTON -- For the second time in less than a year, Mormon church leaders have met with a President Barack Obama family member in the White House to present a volume of history.

First lady Michelle Obama was presented with a volume of her family history Wednesday morning by Elder Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Also participating was Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

In July, Mormon church President Thomas S. Monson joined Elder Oaks and Reid in presenting the U.S. president with his family history.

"Last year, the church compiled several volumes for President Barack Obama," Reid said. "This year, I thank Elder Oaks for sharing our faith's tradition of genealogical research with the first lady and her family.

"This documentation of their lineage will be cherished and passed on for future generations," he said. "I am honored that the church can play a part in documenting the history of the first family."

Better look in a mirror.

Seriously?
Who are you really?

I’m laughing at you because I have seen your venom bashing Catholics. Perhaps this is your moment to come to terms with how you treat others. I pray it is.

Lol. You're praying? Before or after graduating from finishing school on a pirate ship? lol.

The prosecution rests.

Thank God. I've never witnessed a weaker case.

The Mormon position on abortion is full of holes. It allows the bishop to give permission for mental anguish.

[svcw]

I wasn't aware of the mental anguish exclusion. I have been pregnant and during the first 12 weeks and toilet holding there was much anguish. I mean really what does that even mean?

[big'ol_freeper]

I’m heading off to bed now...too much fun for this old man..but take a look at the LDS Church statement and you will see, while not pro-abortion, certainly allows for it for rape, incest or the “mental health” of the mother. The way I look at it..murder is murder.

Proverbs 30

5 Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.

6 Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar

Do and die? Do what? Hmm, depending on your answer I might need to look into this a bit more.

‘And I think the Mormons are still at it, making up weird names.’

What on earth are you talking about?
