27. I was raised Mormon and went on a mission just like Romney

That's because I was brainwashed for the first 19 years of my life in the cult. It wasn't until I was on my mission that I began to wonder about what I was teaching to all these people I was converting. All it took for me was a bit of objective research on my own religion to convince me I had been brainwashed my whole life. I consider myself an expert on Mormons because I lived it and know all the negative history of Mormonism which faithful Mormons will never learn because they are instructed not to subject themselves to anything that is not faith promoting. If non Mormons actually knew what Mormons think of non Mormons, Romney would get blown out in the election. It's amazing this joker is actually leading in recent polls. I'm terrified.
