Shouldn't we consider all of Romney's Mexican relatives EVIL? ( http://rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2 ... -of-border )


Mitt's grandfather is my great-grandfather. I don't consider myself evil. ;)

Mitt is my 5th cousin.

Hey sethpayne,

Same with me!

You and I are related!

He wasn't lying. Mitt saw the flight to escape religious persecution with his spiritual hindsight.

BC, you have truly the most tricksy legalistic mentality I have every seen.

The big secret is that elohim/jehovah actually are Pharisees themselves. bcspace just gives us glimpses of that.

By the way, I guess you would feel fine saying that "before 2012 there was no polygamy practiced in the LDS church". Get it? It's the thing about death in the worlds again LOL

"BCSpace" doing violence to the English language online in the service of apologetics since 2002.


BC is just demonstrating the mentality that early members of the church used to deny they were practicing polygamy. They're just following in the footsteps of their revered prophet Joseph.

Sweet!!

By any chance did you attend the Romney family reunion in northern Mexico sometime in the mid-to-late 80's? I was only 9 or 10 at the time but I remember how many people were there..... the Romney family is HUGE thanks to polygamy.

Mitt's line comes through a different wife of Miles Park Romney than mine.

Looks like we could have our own Romney family reunion here at MDB. :)
