I don't want to go all conspiracy theorist on Mormons, but I was really struck by the faith's history as a people apart, answering to what they believe are direct revelations.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11093162.post-21972966850648072042012-08-31T08:00:30.247-07:002012-08-31T08:00:30.247-07:00just after I got married, at 21, I studied Mormoni...just after I got married, at 21, I studied Mormonism. Had their Book of Mormon as well as The Pearl of Great Price and Doctrines and Covenants. I was at that age eager for a religion that I felt I could follow; so was also studying Catholicism with a very intellectual Catholic priest. We had a nice Mormon couple coming to our house to give us instruction with a planned set of lessons which didn't work well as I was always a question person and several steps ahead of where they wanted to be. My husband and I were baptized into the Catholic Church in Tucson Arizona but left that church and eventually an evangelical one-- which dooms me to hellfire three times over as you aren't as accountable for rejecting Mormonism if you don't know what it is. It is, to me, a very weird religion is all I will say and most Americans have no clue what a high priest in that church had to agree to believing. They won't know either if Romney has his way. When I was studying it, they still had black people as wearing the sign of Cain due to the color of their skin... All direct revelation from God. I would like to hear more about what Romney thinks regarding it all as being a high priest should mean he believes a lot that an ordinary Mormon might not.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
