Mitt Romney and the Mormon Church: Questions

by William John Cox

A brief review of the Mormon corporate empire and the power it holds over high priest and presidential candidate Mitt Romney, whose family has been a part of the Mormon Royalty since the Church's creation.Voters of every political persuasion who are considering voting for Mitt Romney, and who think his religious convictions are benign, must carefully evaluate his religious beliefs to determine for themselves if that is true, and they have every right to do so.Voters, who are becoming increasingly concerned about government intrusion into their lives and the loss of their personal freedoms, must ask themselves whether they want to vote for a president who has spent the last 50 years enthusiastically proselytizing for a secret religion that believes its priests have the sacred right to dictate the health, moral, psychological and financial decisions of its members. Is that a mindset they want in their president?Voters have to honestly ask themselves whether Mitt Romney "shares their religious values" and if not, what those differences will mean to them, their families and their country, should he be elected president.Voters will have choices other than Mitt Romney and Barack Obama in November. The Green Party and the Libertarian Party will both offer worthy candidates on the ballots of every state. Although it is unlikely their candidates will be successful, these candidates provide an opportunity for voters to vote their consciences, rather than their fears.If dissatisfied with all candidates, voters retain the power to write in their choice, even if the name is not on the ballot. Protest write-in vote will not be counted, however, is essential that voters demonstrate that the government belongs to the voters who elect it, rather than to those who try to buy elections and hire the People's representatives.If every qualified voter were to cast a vote of conscience, based upon an intelligent and thoughtful consideration of the qualifications of every candidate, the election of 2012 could very well go down in history. Not because of who was elected, but because of the manner in which the People voted.

Interesting

I found this book very interesting. The connections to the heads of the Mormon church made me wonder if religion is important when voting our politicians?

Romney is a bishop in the Mormon church. He has been obedient to the priesthood hierarchy and has taken vows in the temple to consecrate every blessing, including the presidency of the United States, to the Church. That's scary. What is interesting to me is some of the beliefs of the Mormon church.

Multiple Gods
Extraterrestrial Origins
Jesus and Satan are Brothers
Other Churches are of the Devil
Joseph Smith Is the Gatekeeper of Heaven
Worthy Mormon men become Gods
The Church believes it must prepare the way for the Second Coming of Jesus by building the Kingdom of God on earth.

Such knowledge is not gained through reason but by their "feeling" a manifestation of the Holy Spirit as a "burning in their bosom." Loc 171 Kindle

Strange

Not worth time or effort to read this dribble. Reads more like liberal logic and reasoning. I don't agree with Mormon theology but appreciate their values.
