And not a single one of your references validate the WHite Horse Prophecy, but only the truth that it stole from, that the Constitution will indeed hang by a thread and be saved by members of the church among others.
No where do you state in your snippets that the WHP is true, nor that Mitt is the one.
Interpret as you wish, the truth is out.
Thanks for your response, Rip.
On the first point, I guess I gotta ask you: If there wasn't some attempted acknowledgment of speaking forth some future event, why did official Lds general conference speakers bring it up
-- by my count at least 22 times (21 of which were positive...almost of a "forecast" nature)...
...over the course of 50 years? (October 1912-->April 1963)
If Lds consistently held their general conferences thru ALL the war years, then that's 104 conferences! For the White Horse Prophecy to get a positive mention in 21 out of 104 consecutive general conferences, that's a "batting average" of over .200 (over 20%).
...nor that Mitt is the one...
Well, that's easy to say now.
That's not what the white Cougar Club was saying in the 1970s...
From the article: ...in the 1970’s the ‘Cougar Club’ at Brigham Young University declared their admiration of Mitt and predicted that he’d be the president of the United States one day. According to an article on Salon.com: …the Cougar Club — the all male, all white social club at Brigham Young University in Salt Lake City (blacks were excluded from full membership in the Mormon church until 1978) — was humming with talk that its president, Mitt Romney, would become the first Mormon president of the United States. “If not Mitt, then who?” was the ubiquitous slogan within the elite organization. The pious world of BYU was expected to spawn the man who would lead the Mormons into the White House and fulfill the prophecies of the church’s founder, Joseph Smith Jr., which Romney has avidly sought to realize.
Ya gotta understand, too, that these Cougar Club members were taking their cue from Mitt's father, who ran for POTUS in 1968. In 1967, George Romney said:
“Anyone can look at the words of the Prophet Joseph Smith... Brigham Young and others.... I have always felt that they meant that sometime the question of whether we are going to proceed on the basis of the Constitution would arise and at this point government leaders who were Mormons would be involved in answering that question.”- George Romney, interview in “A Man’s Religion and American Politics: An Interview with Governor Romney,” Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Autumn 1967, v. 2, p. 25
Now, certainly George Romney broadened it beyond one person...and said "leaders" plural...but we all know Mitt Romney would have put a Mormon or two in his Cabinet had he been elected.
But I'll ask you what the Cougar Club members asked each other in the 1970s: "If not Mitt, then who?"
Oh??
I must have missed thst part!
Or is this just tactics?
