Holy Crap? Mormons Plan To Fast For Romney (so he will do well in the debates)

41. When I attended that church

Not obeying the Word of Wisdom was a deal breaker for temple recommends. The same was true of not paying a full tithe or of being a modern day polygamist. Perhaps the Church finds those behaviors totally acceptable today - but I seriously doubt that. Finally, if membership in a paramilitary group is not a temple recommend deal breaker then its safe to say the church has no specific doctrine against such membership. That in and of itself is not too surprising since Mormon paramilitary groups have existed since the churches earliest days. The Mountain Meadows Massacre of non-Mormon settlers being just one example. Other examples include the Thomas Coleman Murder, The Missouri Mormon War of 1838, the Illinois Mormon War of 1844, and the Utah War of 1857.
