The old cliché, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” is certainly applicable to this work. In today’s “politically correct” world, resist the temptation to dismiss this book offhand as the author’s bigoted sentiments because he doesn’t like a particular Mormon candidate for office. Nothing could be further from the truth. This book will present documented evidence that most Americans are simply unaware of. Presenting documented evidence to educate people about the beliefs and teachings of a religion does not make one a bigot, nor does it make one a persecutor of those holding to the views the evidence elucidates. It simply makes me a reporter of the information and allows you as the reader to judge it as you will.
The idea of a conflict existing between a Mormon’s responsibilities in an elected, or appointed, public office and their religious beliefs is not a whimsical contrivance by the author. The conflict does exist. Absolute obedience to the Mormon Priesthood, and the belief that Mormon leaders are “prophets, seers, and revelators,” who are God’s living oracles on earth and take precedence over everything else, is the foundation from which Mormonism springs. These foundational beliefs of Mormonism are alive and well today and are part and parcel of the faith, and are in direct conflict with Mormon politicians and government officials being independent and not under the absolute control of a religious hierarchy. The evidence for this conflict will be presented in this book.
Leave the “I heard,” or the “I was told,” myths at the water cooler. What are the facts?
