In reply to the discussion: Interesting knock on my front door. 2 young men, dressed almost alike, identified themselves [View all]Jayce Cox
(34 posts)30. The First Mormon Temple was in Ohio 1836
Kirtland Ohio, near cleveland is a Mormon (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) historic site. There is another Mormon Temple in Columbus. These two missionaries are most likely quite tired of the Romney questions. Missionaries have been in OH well over 100 years. They are not allowed to read the newspapers or watch TV are focused solely on missionary work. The GOP has nothing to do with these young men, thank GOD!

So no Mormons have ever done missionary work in Ohio huh? Maybe they just found out about it.

i.e. maybe not partisan but glad for *any* kind of public and media attention to their cause

I doubt very much that the LDS's are having their missionaries function as political activists.

Really? Hasn't Romney taken a big hit from the Christian right as not being Christian?

The missions these kids take are pretty sacrosanct and they are promoting Mormonism.

I wouldn't put it past them to stump for Rmoney as they are proselytizing.

I'd think more positively of them if they stopped the creepy conversion attempts
