What's new

Stake Pres issues a warning...

He said what probably 95% of Utah Mormons think. They may not use those same words, but it is in line with their thoughts. The reason this is in the news is that he is in a position of leadership and used that to actually say it.
And yes, the Church has a huge influence in the politics of this state. That's only natural since the majority of the population is Mormon (thus naturally the elected leaders are as well).

95 percent of Utah Mormons think? Might be true. But what about Mormons? I wonder, with the influx of so many (foreign) Mormons, will we see a more accepting and tolerant LDS church? Perhaps, we've actually already seen this...

I'm sure if you were to ask many of the W. European or Asian leaders who about "socialism" or "health care" that their views might differ from those who have been home grown in so tiny *** farm town in rural Utah, studied business at BYU, and who got married at age 20.

I know of at least one extremely popular and powerful (he's in the church's top leadership) who is not happy at all with the state of politics in Utah. Waaayyyyy too on sided and conservative. But when you come to think of it... If many Utahns find our politics a joke... How do these implants coming from "socialized" countries feel?

A few things from the talk:

#1 If you're going to speak through revelation, at least have your damn facts straight. Voted for handouts? Libya cover-up? Federally funded abortion?

What next? John the Baptist suffered and died for our sins and Moses baptized Adam and Eve? Oh and Brigham Young was crucified upside down in Rome?

The dude sounds like he's still upset with the election.

#2 Since when does the BOM or Bible indicate capitalism =from god

If anything, it's not. If anything, for Mormons, capitalism is the bizarro form of the Law of Consecration.

#3 I hate when leaders go off on nonsense like this. Go back to the bare basics. When I go to church I don't want to hear about birth control, politics, sports, vacations, neighbors, trials, etc. I want to be enlightened and inspired. Tell me stories of faith. Tell me that like isn't one big **** hole. Tell me about the missionary work, beauty of the world, wonders of the temple, and how to know god better.
