Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Why Joseph Smith is not a prophet":

"Gonna need a little more evidence to actually support your reason, its humorous yet just a bunch of rambling you also have to mention that how did he get all smart enough to do what he did without an education? and other stuff like that. Going into another topic throws off your little statement either your a child who hasn't studied well enough, or the education of this world is so poor that no one can make a clear and direct statement. tis only my opinion of this little page."

Joseph Smith was not uneducated. His parents were school teachers. He received some home schooling from them.

New Year Greetings!

New Year Greetings to all the followers of this blog and also to anyone who happens to stumble upon it.

I hope to be a bit more active on this blog, but life tends to get in the way, sometimes!

Saw an Afro Caribbean missionary with his white companion

Just the other day. They were both young, serious-faced young men.

They were probably transferring somewhere (or one was) as they were going to catch a train.

I thought, for a fleeting moment, that I should ask him about how he felt about the racist history of the Mormon Church?

But I decided against it, because I thought: "I really do not want to get into a debate about this so early in the morning and I do not want to crush the poor fellows heart."

So I hurried on to the office (running late again, as usual!) and hoped that someday, he and his companion would know the truth. And be set free.

Mitt didn't win. This is good for Mormons

How so? Because now they will not have to spend four years explaining what Mitt really meant or apologising for his bonkers and bizarre decisions as President.

Trust me on this one, Mormons. Far better to dream of the reality rather than suffer it in actuality.

More Exciting time for Mormons

Most Mormons are looking forward to the election of Mitt Romney. You know him, don't you? The fellow who thinks it perfectly appropriate for a dog to be stashed away like a piece of luggage on a car roof?

Well, soon the waiting will  be over and Mitt "I'll be your very own personal weathervane, please vote for me," Romney might be the president of the USA.

Or will Mr Obama keep the toughest job in the Western World?

Only time will tell.

Exciting time for Mormons. But should they be concerned?

It's an exciting time for Mormons, with the candidacy of Mitt Romney for President.

There are some Mormons who see the candidacy of Mitt Romney as a great opportunity for publicity, to show people that the Mormons are not, as the used to boast, a 'peculiar people' but are just as normal as everybody else.

But then Mitt Romney does something stupid like thinking that it is entirely appropriate to put a dog in a box on top of a car and scare the poor creature so much that it developed stress diarrhoea and fouled itself.

Now, there's an interesting question. If there is someone who, as an adult with a wife and children   is so mindbogglingly stupid as to believe it  is appropriate and proper to maltreat a dog in that manner, is that person a fit and proper person to be in the election for president, let alone the president?

After all, one would expect anyone who is the candidate for president to have intelligence, fellow-feel, knowledge and wisdom. All, one might surmise, singularly lacking in someone who could so badly mistreat a family pet.

So, is Mormon Mitt Romney a good candidate for president? I have very severe  doubts about this.

There are other things that are questionable about Mitt Romney, such as his ability to change his views with more rapidity and less thought than some people change their socks.

And the ability of Mitt Romney and his wife to reinvent themselves is questionable.Their claims of poverty in their early married lives have a hollow ring to them. As a wise man once said: "Poverty to some people is having less that a £1,000 in their bank account. To others poverty is about not having enough food for your family to eat." Some observers believe that he should not be call Mitt Romney but rather Myth Romney, such is his desire and ability to spin myths about his early life and alleged poverty.

Other Mormons are darkly muttering about: "the Constitution hanging like a thread" as they hark back to one of the prophecies that date back to the early days of the Mormon Church, which foretold of the time when the  Constitution of the USA would be "hanging by a thread" and the Mormon Church would have to step in and take over the governance of the USA. They believe that Mitt Romney is the man, the Mormon man, who can do this. Is it a coincidence that there have been reports that some Mormons are  reportedly hoarding food, water, ammunition and firearms? Perhaps not.

The Mormons were dangerous in 19th century America. With their block voting tricks and their raids on non-Mormons and the theft of their property  and the murders they committed, they became a source of fear and a hiss word throughout the land of America.

With a Mormon, Mitt Romney, as president, is it likely that similar circumstances will arise again? No. This is highly unlikely. However, this is not to say that should Mitt Romney become president, that some Mormons (those types doing all the hoarding) might not decide to help things along.

Also, it is possible that the US Secret Service might have to provide protection for Mitt Romney against potential attacks from disaffected Mormons on the margins of Mormonism, especially those in the more extreme parts of fundamentalist Mormonism.

Long time no posts

Sorry about the lack of posts of late, but I have been very busy with several other projects, so my Not a Mormon blog has taken a back seat of late, for which I apologise.

I hope to be making some more regular posts here in the not too distant future.
