New Church Political Activity Specialists

[_moksha]

Why is the Church only appointing specialists to encourage members to get more involved in civic affairs in Utah? Does member involvement in civic affairs in every other part of this so-called global Church not matter to the leadership?

Perhaps they are giving members outside of Utah a break.

With the new Political Specialists reminding members in Utah to attend their local GOP caucuses (wonder if they will add the GOP caucus to the Priesthood and Relief Society meeting attendance lists?) members cannot use the "I forgot" excuse to avoid subjecting themselves to such meetings.

The Church is banking on this new tide of members voting to avoid another incident like telling the populace to vote against medical marijuana and having the majority vote in favor of medical marijuana anyway.

What if someone were to put a referendum item on the ballot for a state lottery? The Church would need to activate nearly all TBMs to vote that particular ballot initiative down.

Now the LDS Church has fully arrived in the year 1990.

If you thought the church efficiently pushed Prop 8 through local engagement, just wait.

The church is installing the equivalent of a WML who is responsible for turning every member into a political activist.

The Mormons should take a page from the Muslim activists and get more of their ideologs elected and to push their agenda hard. Though I don't believe they have much of a chance, unlike the Muslims who have alliances with the Socialist and progressives.

I don't believe you will find many L-d$,inc members willing to strap on explosive vests and kill themselves to kill the enemies of the church.

Or members who will support it by not doing a damn thing to stop them.
