Actually, This is What You Believe
This past weekend, Kate Snow of Good Morning America posted a question to George Stephanopoulos about whether or not Mitt Romney’s LDS faith would be a big hurdle for him (politically speaking). George’s demonstrated response and investigative journalism is shoddy to say the least. Romney stated the following in a previous interview: Our belief is just like it says in the Bible, that the Messiah will come to Jerusalem, stand on the Mount of Olives, and the Mount of Olives will be a place where there’s a great gathering, and so forth. It’s the same as the other Christian...

Reuters Religion Editor, Tom Heneghan, takes a few stabs at the sacred ordinances of the temple in this article. Heneghan states: “Church members are told to focus on their ancestors, a rite understandable in a relatively new denomination founded in 1830.

Our goal is to baptize all those who have lived before and did not have an opportunity to hear or accept the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Heneghan states that baptism for the dead has...
Read MoreFrom myths to missionaries: Taking a look at the truth about Mormonism
Here’s a great article from the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s paper, The Gateway. The article aims to dispel rumors and misconceptions about the LDS Church.
