Mitt Romney tidak memiliki lebih dari satu istri begitu juga si Harry Reid. atau semua ceo dan konglomerat pemilik Jet Blue, the Marriot, In and Out Burger, Mormon agama yang menarik. very very menarik... here come soal polygamy : President Gordon B. Hinckley, current Prophet and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, stated the following about polygamy in the Church's General Conference of October 1998: “I wish to state categorically that this Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing polygamy. They are not members of this Church. Most of them have never been members. They are in violation of the civil law. They know they are in violation of the law. They are subject to its penalties. The Church, of course, has no jurisdiction whatever in this matter."If any of our members are found to be practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those so involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church. An article of our faith is binding upon us. It states, 'We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law' (Articles of Faith 1:12). One cannot obey the law and disobey the law at the same time. OFFICIAL DECLARATION—1 The following is the text of the declaration of Wilford Woodruff, then President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church), announcing the end of the practice of polygamy. It was issued September 24, 1890, and read at the October Conference of the <A HREF="http://www.jefflindsay.com/LDS_Intro.shtml";>Mormon Church</A>. Iit was received unanimously as a revelation from the Lord by the attending <A HREF="http://www.14lds.com/";>Mormons</A>. Today, it is found in the Doctrine and Covenants as Official Declaration 1. It has also come to be known as the Manifesto.To Whom It May Concern: Press dispatches having been sent for political purposes, from Salt Lake City, which have been widely published, to the effect that the Utah Commission, in their recent report to the Secretary of the Interior, allege that plural marriages are still being solemnized and that forty or more such marriages have been contracted in Utah since last June or during the past year, also that in public discourses the leaders of the Church have taught, encouraged and urged the continuance of the practice of polygamy— I, therefore, as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, do hereby, in the most solemn manner, declare that these charges are false. We are not teaching polygamy or plural marriage, nor permitting any person to enter into its practice, and I deny that either forty or any other number of plural marriages have during that period been solemnized in our Temples or in any other place in the Territory. </HTML> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/ Yahoo!
