A question about the Prophet or President of the Mormon church

[justiceischeap]

It is my understanding that devout Mormon's must do what the Prophet/church tells them. An example of this would be with Prop 8, the church told members how much they had to donate to stop Prop 8 from being defeated. If they didn't make the donations they were told to make, they basically were threatened with revocation of their membership if they didn't donate. (http://huff.to/yh9apO).

So, if the Prophet decided that Romney as President must do something according to a vision, as a devout Mormon, wouldn't Romney have to do that or risk having his membership revoked?

2. Valid question

I think it's a valid question. JFK stated publically that he would not take orders from the pope, which was not as crazy a concern in those days as it would be now.

Romney should make the same statement to serve his country before his religion.

Of course, Mormons are allowed to lie to non-Mormons if it's in the interest of their religion, so even such a statement would have to be taken with a large dose of salt.

3. Politicians just lie. :)

I think it's a valid concern as well and I would want him to make the same statement but as you've said, the whole lying thing kinda gets in the way.
