In reply to the discussion: Holy Crap? Mormons Plan To Fast For Romney (so he will do well in the debates) [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)accurate?
There was an OP here about a week ago about a young woman, apparently a member of the Latter Day Saints Church, who was registering voters, except that she stated that it was her intention to only register people who supported Mitt Romney. When a woman (a Democrat) confronted her and asked her who she was working for, she replied that she was working for he County Clerks Office. The County Clerks Office denied that the young woman was working for them. At that time, it was revealed that the young woman was in reality a volunteer for the Romney campaign.
I have several friends who are ex-Mormons and have talked with them about the Latter Day Saints Church, and even spent a few nights jamming and drinking with Jerry Joseph (of Jerry Joseph and the Jack Mormons). We spoke some about the Mormon Church.
These folks believed that the Mormon Church was not a totally up front, upstanding organization.
And Willard Romney was a Bishop in the Latter Day Saints Church, and does not always speak the truth. In fact, he often "flip flops" on positions as the moment may dictate, contradicting earlier statements and positions indicating that he is not suitable in any way whatsoever to be Commander in Chief of the United States.
Could he be lying for the Mormon Church hierarchy?
So, anyway, in response to the aforementioned OP, I posted this response, which contains some information that contends that it is perfectly acceptable for Mormons to lie to non-Mormons, and that "lying for the Lord" - lying for the Mormon Church, is called for when necessary.
My question to you is, is what my acquaintances said to me true, and are the links that I posted in my response at the link below accurate?
