Comments on: Mitt Romney As Mormon Missionary

The Skinny: Young Leader Spent Late '60s Seeking Converts In France

What do missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS teach? It is no secret. But boy does it work to bless people''s lives. There is nothing that changes people for good faster, and more perminantly. They don''t just teach people faith in God, but how to really receive answers to your prayers. They know that strong societies are only as strong as its weakest families, and they focus much of what they teach on applying the Savior''s teachings to marriages and families. They help people actually apply the gospel to their lives so they can maxamize the influence and meaning their lives can have in doing good. They show you how to do it. It is one thing to read in the scriptures of serving God, and raising honest, strong, faithful children, but another thing to do it. They teach lame fathers that family responsibility is first, they teach alcoholics how to stop drinking with an effectiveness that would make AA envious. They preach strong marriages, help people discipline themselves out of debt. They teach that true strength comes from following Christ, and by obeying God''s commandments as Christ did as our perfect example. They teach that serving and blessing lives is more nobel than the kind of car you drive. They teach chastity before marriage, and total fidelity in marriage. They introduce the principles of the gospel which, if followed, result in the associated promised blessings.

soldat44 - have you read "Conversations with God"...it''s a far better read than the Bible.

One thing that was in the New York Times that this article conveniently left out was the fact that Romney marched along his father in the civil rights movement even before his mission to France. In fact his father George Romney opposed Goldwater because Goldwater didn''t support the civil right amendment.

Mormons worship Christ in the most deep, most real, and most sacred sense of the word. There is no question on this matter. Anyone suggesting otherwise is speaking from an uneducated mind or an misinformed position. Neither one attractive or persuasive qualities.

Bzzzzzz! Sorry , wrong answer! Any Christian that puts another book over the Bible as the Word of God is guilty of heresy. Period. No discussion.

HOW MANY WIVES DOES ROMNEY HAVE AND ARE TAXPAYERS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION FOR ALL OF THE FIRST LADIES SHOULD HE WIN THE PRESIDENCY?

Romney is an OUTSTANDING American. The man is a patriot in every sense of the word, and deceitfully characterizing him as a draft-dodger is pathetic. Tell me left wing CBS, can you stop kissing blessed Hillary''s white, fat backside long enough to answer us why Hillary was protesting the military, the US government and smoking pot with Bill in the 1970''s? Romney volunteering his time to help people improve their lives is slightly more noble.

sorry, parrot2... it was denn034 who said, "Jehovah is Jesus in Mormon theology."

So, denn034:

Try telling that to the OTHER Christians and to the Jews. You''''ll get some serious disagreement!

First, Jehovah is Jesus in Mormon theology. Lastly, the Mormons did fight the US Army after it was sent to Utah based on false rumors but, any animosity the Mormons had against the US died in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
