More about the Yule Goat
I'm pretty much a nonbeliever and I don't see what possible harm post-death baptism can do. But for those who see baptism as important, if they learn their dear departed have been baptised by Mormons, they can undo the Mormon baptism. Just find out what words they say during the ceremony and say them backwards.
This was a pro-choice Mormon woman who was surprised that Romney was acting pro-choice while in MA.
and she said that so and so said this...
and...and...I heard that Mormons do this...
and...and...and
d-d-dee
(snark...)
Doesn't that pretty much sum up every religion, not just Mormonism?
That is what he would have to do
He won't be allowed to go door to door
Aren't the Mormons trying to make Utah the third largest population base?
Now THAT'S a power play.
Yah I think Obama could be that smart and it will serve our community's interests if he is. It certainly is NOT serving our community's interests that he has been smart enough to outsmart the hell out of us! Did you see that Pentagon statement this morning that more or less said the country's President is NOT in charge of the military. Huh?! (At least not when it comes to fagots in uniform, apparently.)
We live in interesting times.
Talk about stabbing your freinds in the back.
Also, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints is far more than a "19th century American religion". It has developed outside the 19th century much longer now than it existed within it. To call it "American" is in many ways fair. However, it is becoming increasingly international and will continue to do so.
This article has so many misrepresentations it's hardly funny and the misrepresentations are of the sort that they either demonstrate complete ineptitude on the part of the author OR the author is intentionally lying.
As for "a penis, lives on another planet and has sex with numerous partners every day". . .regardless of what anyone may or may not have said (leader or member) to this regard, all of those things are speculation and not binding on any member of the Church. The only exception in that sentence would be possibly "lives on another planet", or place.
Honestly! Find me one passage in the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, or Pearl of Great Price that refers to God's penis or "multiple sex partners" and I'll admit that I was wrong.
He is former ambassador to Singapore. He knows and is on a first name basis with many of China’s leaders. They seem to look at him very favorably.
Lastly, and perhaps most important to people in the in the adoption community, about seven years ago, Governor Huntsman adopted a little baby girl from China.
And this "forcibly converting jews to mormonism" is the kind of over the top hyperbole we have come to expect from the right.
Love this site, read it alot, but sometimes it goes way the hell off the deep end. Lets talk about something important like... list the NY senators we need to contact to convert their vote on gay marriage?
anyone in Central New York should contact Senator David Valesky. tell him to vote affirmative on marriage equity.
Tolerance only extends so far.
Besides, the LDS can want him to preach all it wants to. If he does not, what are they going to do?
haha.
12 million members of the Mormon crutch. There are 6.8 billion people in the world, which means Mormons make up .18% of the world's population.
Less than 1/5th of 1% of the world's population. Pretty much negligible compared to the vast and growing number of those who consider themselves "No Religion" across the world, without the efforts of a standing army of 60,000 missionaries spreading the so-called 'truth'.
Truth comes to light naturally over time and doesn't require door to door salesmen to impose it upon gullible sheep.
1. "soon to be US Ambassador to China, Republican governor of Utah Jon Huntsman, himself a Mormon, is under ecclesiastical mandate to proselytize to the Chinese when he goes to there to be Obama's ambassador. He has no choice."
This is just untrue Mr. Huntsman will not be under "an ecclesiastical mandate to proselytize". He is there to serve his country and Latter-day Saints believe in "obeying, honoring and sustaining the law". We also ALWAYS have a Choice. Agency, or the ability to choose for ones self is a major and basic tenant of our faith.
2. "Let Huntsman deny it. Let Obama deny it. It doesn't matter. Our next Ambassador to China will be using his post to try to convert the Chinese to Mormonism, and more generally, to let the Mormons into China where they can then run around the country and spread their ideology."
Mr. Huntsman will be in China using his post to do his job as Ambassador. That is his Civic and Professional duty. The best thing he could do to further the cause of his faith in China, would to just be a quiet example of a good Latter-day Saint. . .which it is my guess that he will do just that.
3. "The Mormons have spent the past two decades secretly baptizing dead Jewish Holocaust victims and forcibly converting them to Mormonism"
You refer to "The Mormons" like they are a single person or entity without any reference to there being individuals who make right or wrong choices. I'm a Mormon and to my knowledge I have never submitted a name for nor participated in the proxy baptism of a Jewish Holocaust victim. I wish whoever did those things hadn't. I do believe if I was a descendant of a Holocaust victim and a Latter-day Saint I would have a right to participate in behalf of my ancestors though.
Also, Mormons don't believe ANYONE can be forcibly converted. This would be against one of the fundamental points of our doctrine (that I've stated before).
4. "If Jon Hunstman is required by God to secretly help the Mormons infiltrate China - and he is - then that is what Jon Huntsman will do as our next Ambassador to China. You can bet on it. Pity the poor Chinese. They have no idea what's about to happen to them."
Give me a break! . .as if you know what Mr. Huntsman is "required by God" to do. You obviously know nothing substantial about the teachings and doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( or "Mormonism").
The Chinese are such people. Only through the light of Mormonism can they be saved from their iniquity. Read the statements of all the prophets for more on this.
