The Reality of Mormonism: Revisionists on Facebook

There is a reality to Mormonism which escapes the general public which is that it is a secretive organization not open to anyone outside of the church. It is governed by its own rules and traditions which are not readily accepted amongst the general public. And as a church it believes that their elders are divine and working by the hand of God.

I have to say as a Catholic I like Mormons. Anyone who doesn’t want me to attend their church I am good with. Actually I am trilled with not having to be constantly recruited by other churches. And I know many many decent Mormons but that could be said about any religion on the face of this planet. It is government and people who choose to do bad and not religion for religion is a form of government.

And I have to say I have been very supportive of Mitt Romney running for president especially since I am a single parent of a medical fragile child with Autism who recently lost her Mother to cancer. I might have mentioned I took care of not only my Mother but my son with very little help if any from my family which includes one very fibbing Mormon.

We no longer speak after my Mother’s death. I am not sorry a bit but Facebook allows me the opportunity to check in on them and see what they are doing and they are revisionists of their history. An adult child who does not provide for their parent in end stage of life is not worth a facebook page. The entire basis of our country is service to our families and it you fail your family you are a failure in this country and not to be trusted.


And yet, I see my brothers, one is an atheist who calls the Mormon brother delusional and the other is a Mormon who has an arranged marriage, rewriting their history all over facebook. It amazes me and perplexes me. If they do not like their lives simply change. They obviously don’t care about anyone they post to and make very fraudulent arguments since they are living about their lives. And while I am not an open book, I certainly have not made up details about my life that have simple not been true.

I guess because I was the one loyal person in my family who stayed with my Mother until her final hours.

But if Mormons are allowed to lie all mover the internet then how can we trust a Mormon for president? And again I like Mitt Romney but part of his campaign so is he a revisionist as well?

When did Americans stop living moral good lives and just think projecting lies onto Facebook was good enough.

I find so many experts on everything on facebook and so few credentials.

And doesn’t this mean that the Internet may not be the most reliable resource for picking a president?

When is the projection of self worth more important than actually having self worth?

Really nothing against the Mormons in general just the one who lies through his teeth on facebook to make himself seem more important and credentialed then he actually is. Which brings light into the practices of the Mormon church and just how valid Mitt Romney’s run for the White House is.

And what good is a Mormon if they have no family values to serve this country?

I would have expected my atheist brother to lie as he doesn't believe in anything but my brother who is Mormon to lie about his role in the family is like reliving my Mother's death again. No matter how much they spin it on FB or how badly they lie to themselves, my MOther knew they betrayed her and so do I.
