Nice flip on the Mitt.
"Romney also defended his religions against accusations that it is a cult."
I called the phone number on a Jesus Christ Church of Latter Day Saints commercial one day b/c they were offering free Bibles. I thought it was great that someone was giving away Bibles…
but then they began calling my house a lot asking whether or not I wanted an in home session with one of their religious advisors. I think I was 15 at the time so it freaked me out.
Oh…the stories I could tell about Mormon boys, but I won't. I personally believe it's a cult, but I don't shout it from the mountain tops. In general they don't harm anyone, and like EVERY other religion it's full of hypocrisy and crazies.
Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking at your door without even an inkling of interest so obviously, it's not just the Mormons who have mastered the art of stalkerish evangelizing and proselytizing.
Surprised. Thought Obama would get Iowa paper's support and Hill would get Boston's.
