Romney's Mormon Beliefs

[Kung Wu]

I could no sooner vote for a man that fits the profile of a cult follower, than I could a Nigerian born socialist. It looks like I will be writing in SpongeBob for president again this November.

Kenyan.

Anyhow, fortunately for you, you aren't left to speculate about Romney. You see from 1984 through 1999 Romney started a private investment firm with 3 partners, raised $37 million, and grew it to over $4 billion in management . Sound like an uneducated cult following fool?

But wait, there's more. After that he was given the reigns to the organizing committee for the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, which were, up until that point pretty dang troubled. Not sure how he was vetted, but that's a pretty prestigious post to be filling for a simplistic brain-washed cult follower. Maybe the entire IOC is in on the cult and they planted him there and pulled his puppet strings?

Oh wait ... I nearly forgot about him becoming the governor of Massachusetts. I wonder if the voters of the state could figure out if this was a doofus cult follower? Regardless:

When Romney took office in 2003, Massachusetts had a $3 billion deficit. By 2005, the state had a $1 billion surplus, plus a so-called rainy day fund of another $2 billion. When Romney left office on January 4, 2006, the Bay State had a balanced budget plus the rainy day fund — all without ever raising taxes. source

Well if he is a cult follower, at least he has financial success after success plastered all over his resume'.

Now tell me about the hypothetical Kenya-born socialist's background and experience again?

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - pretty impressive if you ask me.

Funny how so many treat him like the dark lord of the Sith.

Just read this news story...
Scary times y'all!

Who cares...

I recently watched a movie where the case was made that Obama is secretly carrying out his father's agenda fueled by anti-colonialism ideas. The premise was spurious. However, what is much more believable, is the powerful influence the Mormon Church has on Romney. I have no idea what their agenda may be, but make no mistake, the Mormon Church is a cult and the influence they have on their members is considerable. The secrecy surrounding the Mormon temples makes the Nights Templar and the Illuminati look like your local YMCA.

No one seemed to care Clinton when was drilling Monica on a daily basis.

No one seemed to care when BHO was hanging with a ultra left wing radical Preacher who condemned the USA every time he opened his pie hole.

Why the heck do I care about his religion beliefs (as long as he isn't an atheist) as long as he can:
1) Keep the country safe.
2) Turn the economy around and get people back to work.
3) Don't spend half of his time trying out for the PGA at the tax payers expense?

Well?

Oh, you are talking about Obama.

Gotcha!!!

for those who want to know the difference between the followers of Yeshua and Mormons/Jehova Witnesses.

can we see a side-by-side comparison of Amish/Muslim? Catholic/7th Day Adventist? Pentocostal/Jewish?

Disclaimer: I'm a protestant Christian and portions of this post are not based on my own personal study, but from that of Hank Hanegraff (host of The Bible Answer Man radio show).


It's one thing to say that miracles of the Bible are mythological fantasies (as many athiests like to claim, even though they can neither be proven or disproven as matters of faith), but at least the historical accounts in the Bible can be backed up with archealogical evidence. My understanding is that so far, nothing found in archaelogy discredits the historical accounts or existence of places in the Bible.


The same cannot be said for Mormonism. There is no archealogical evidence for the existance of places and peoples described in the Book of Mormon.


That said, while I respect people of faith when it comes to matters of faith, I am concerned that Romney follows a religion that cannot withstand the test of archealogical evidence in areas where it diverts and extends from the Christian bible.

Those of you attempting to rationalize the idea of a cultic high priest as POTUS need to check yourself. If I asked you of your opinion of the Mormon Church 5 years ago (excluding anything involving the Stormin' Mormon), I suspect your comments would not reflect what you are saying today. Take a lesson from CB and always be true to yourself regardless of societal pressure.

You are mixing two topics. If you asked us about the Mormon Church 5 years ago you would get the exact same answer from most posters here: Mormonism is not a denomination of orthodox (loosely) Christianity because at it's core it does not teach the trinity or the concept of a singular God. Regardless of any other (often provably as @RoyalShock: has called out) beliefs they have and that we regard as silly, none is more damaging than those two. Same answer you would have had 5 years ago.

Noooow .... back to the other topic ... can the USA elect a Mormon to Presidency? Did that change in 5 years? The answer is yes and yes. In 5 years a socialist has pushed for law that will set the USA back far enough that electing an extremely successful Mormon, with the strongest financial leadership resume' of any candidate in who knows how many years, is not only feasible and possible but also crucial to the American way of life.

Spending must be halted. That starts with ObamaCare and touches every other tentacle of the U.S. Government.

Romney reduced the Massachusetts government. I expect him to do the same for the USA. Time will tell.

I'm not referring to the "Christian definition" of cult. I could care less about the Mormon's heretical views in regards to "Orthodox Christianity." I'm concerned more with the secular definition as it relates to mind control. Make no mistake, a true Mormon is not in full control of his or her decisions. Is Romney beyond all the mechanisms the "church" uses to control its flock? I doubt it, as he is a high priest.

Does anybody actually know the views of the Mormon Church as it relates to their existence with other people outside of the church? Do they hold any extremist positions politically or socially?

Not that it matters, but I remember the same fears concerning JFK and the Pope.

Until the American public saw JFK shake the Pope's hand and not kiss it. Unfortunately we can't see how Romney interacts with the rulers of his church, because it all occurs behind locked doors in uber-secret Mormon temples that not even all Mormons have access to. I watched a PBS special one time that had an ex Mormon describe what went on inside some of those temples. You wanna talk about selling your soul...

Now I get it. You are watching the Propaganda Broadcasting Station and have learned that athiest socialists are better than Mormons. Imagine that.

Tell me why this is an important issue again? Fine to criticize politicians for their record, their policy statements, etc., but for their religion? Really? Some things just need to be off limits. I don't care what God Romney prays to, that's his business and has nothing to do with this campaign. In this country we have this thing called the Constitution which protects the freedom of religion.
