I don't number many Mormons among my friends, but my former next-door-neighbours were Mormon. She taught at the local ballet company school, he was a photographerr. Their marriage was very equal (he was a super cook) and very stable. The only other Mormon couple I know also have a stable marriage, and the wife works outside the home.

As far as missionaries go, I've had young Mormon women mission teams knock on my door.

While I question much of the Mormon theology, I commend the LDS for their family-centred teachings, and their financial commitment to their church.

Thanks for the kind words

As a Mormon Mitt would look on each and every woman as a beloved daughter of God, his spiritual sister and a potential Goddess.

Are you saying that Mitt would treat women as: "potential" Goddesses? It sounds like you're saying:...some women can become goddesses; what do they have to do to achieve that title?

Now wouldn’t you want to be treated like that?

I can honestly say, no! I wouldn't want to be treated like a godess because that would make me think I was equal with God.

Also, when you say...your sisters-in-laws went on missions...

are you saying they went door-to-door? I have never seen women go door to door. Can you explain why they don't go door to door?

The way Mitt dismisses any mention of women's issues, caused me to look up his beliefs when it comes to a woman's place in the world.  www.exmormon.org/mormwomn.htm 

In my opinion Mitt Romney thinks women are second class citizens. He should be forced to seek a woman to be his VP (running mate).

I don't think he'll do it because it would be against his "religion." What say you?   

What's puzzling is why you would attempt to tie Romney into someone else's paper. Nowhere is Romney mentioned, nor does that reflect his views. Your attitude is not puzzling however, just another lefty bashing someone who has a different view.

I'm not a "lefty" (whatever that means). I've been an independent for a year; before that I was a republican. (I don't stay on teams full of hate.) And, yes, I have much respect for President Obama.  Everyone has a right to their own views but not their own facts. What the ex-mormon says are not my words. I'm the one asking the question...why does Mitt devalue women???

Yes, Willard is going to be the presumptive nominee (at least until the convention). I need to understand why he doesn't value women; I need to know why. I'll have to reseach his train of thought. I don't want anyone who thinks they will one day rule the world, to become the President of the United States of America. That's a scary thought to me.  

Latter Day Saints(Mormons) do not believe they will rule THE WORLD in the hereafter;  They will divinely  rule a world
