Lying for the Lord - Mormon style
Having been raised catholic by nuns for 12 years, LYING warranted getting bubble gum stuck in my hair, or a ruler to the hands, and other depravity to smite us.
I'm no angel, but I have been absolutely amazed how much Romney gets caught in LIES, and does not seem to give a rats ass. So I decided to try the google, and found that LYING seems to be a customary attitude of mormons to basically get what they want. I thought I was brought up inside a freaky cult with Sister Perpetual Agony beating on us, but Bishop Mountain Meadows Mitt has her beat, hands down.
We're caught up in a real freak show in this election cycle people.
"For the Mormon, loyalty and the welfare of the church are more important than the principle of honesty, and plausible denials and deception by omission are warranted by an opportunity to have the Mormon organization seen in the best possible light. This is part of the larger package of things that lead many to describe Mormonism as a cult. "Lying for the lord" is part of Mormonism's larger deceptive mainstreaming tactics, and conversion numbers would drastically lower if important Mormon beliefs were fully disclosed to investigators."

"One Mormon blogger writes, "When I was a missionary, the church’s official Missionary Guide instructed missionaries to avoid providing direct answers or solutions to investigators' questions or concerns." On his mission, he "fell back on rhetorical tricks or even outright denials."
