Mormon Prophet / President dies at 97 years old.
by Witness 007 inthe mormons are without a prophet today since gordon hinkley 97 who served for 13 years passed away due to old age complications.. his was a quiet term for a president since his predecessor had to deal with the 60's sexual and racial revolution.
{in the late 1960's the prophet told mormons that god now allowed blacks into the priesthood...after years of much contraversey.

What gives us the right to question other's religion?
by dawg ini recently wrote an article about mormonism for a local rag that got rejected, it was concerning mitt romney,and his belief in the mormon faith.
i wrote it because many people were saying that we have no right to question another's faith in our local newspaper... i said that we in fact do have that right whenever that person is running for president..... my article stated in so many words, that mormonism has been totally refuted both by the scientific community (dna, no ties with istreal and the natives here in the states) and by many of smith's previous actions in his early life... he used seeing stones once before and was arrested for fraud... i said that romney was showing by his religious beliefs that he was illogical, and someone like that shouldn't be president... what got the story booted was when i started in on christianity.. now, don't get me wrong here, i love some of christ's teachings, but if someone is a fundlementalist, then they shouldn't be president either in my mind... .
so, where do you guys draw the line in your personal lives, when do you feel its appropiate to question someone elses religion?.

she was married at a young age and just seemed too wholesome.

Unexplained Mormon "miracles"...Unexplained JW "miracles"
by FormerMormon inok... lets get the ribbing aside.
our mormon "miracles" are more unexplainable than yours.... one of the many tools used by the morg to keep it's members active is the use of faith promoting stories involving apparent miracles... or the unexplainable.
there are unexplainable stories even in my own family.
