Tongue in cheek blog post I found interesting....
Could Mitt Romney be The Anti Christ??
Technically he could be. Mitt Romney could win the US presidency and then be appointed President of the Quorum of 12 ,within the Mormon religion the President of the Quorum of 12 is considered a Prophet and leads the Mormon church.
Part of the strategy of the LDS leadership is to invest in very powerful and influential holdings. Unlike most churches, they own TV stations (local network affiliates). They own power companies. Most worrisome of all, they have made a concerted effort to buy up thousands of acres of farmland, orchards, etc. under their many dummy companies. let's take a look at what the bible has to say about this
((2 Thess. 2:3) or the Anti-Christ. He will be a great political leader (Rev. 13:2) but with a religious component
(Rev. 13:4). He will control commerce and especially food distribution (Rev. 13:17). )
Finally lest not forget Mitts 1% percent status and his association with Bain Capital buying up struggling companies and throwing US workers to the wolves.
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. (Matthew 7:15-20)
Now Let's look at Mitts minions.

(336 posts)The gospels are stuffed full of warnings and prohibitions concerning money - far more than on any other subject. A rapacious, 250 million dollar job-killer is pretty anti Christ.

(13,186 posts)Do the new, special voter IDs have to have numbers? Seems like forcing people to get them would be a good way to make sure everyone has a number of some kind. When people call it a "national ID" it scares the Republican eschatologists who would normally be on guard. But call it a voter ID and tell them it will help their Republicans stay in power, and it buys them off. Hmm, for those folks who don't think the whole thing was really about Nero in the past, this could be cause for concern.

Maybe he will throw down a mean babershop quartet solo, or play some air acordian or something of that nature? That would really warm up the public?
(and yes, the barbershop quartet solo was a joke

(35,015 posts)He would appear to be something which he is not....we make fun of Mitt, he seems so clueless and unable to connect with people....therefore no one is taking him seriously.
Perhaps that's the folly if he's really very shrewd and masterful under the facade.

This is probably totally lost to anyone who is not LDS.

(82,383 posts)He had six letter in each of his three names.
Though written in Hebrew, the Bible anticipated English and that the US would be central and therefore the Anti-Christ would be American.
And when you think about it, things started going to hell with false prophets and the like as soon as Ronnie got into the highest office in the land.

(21,925 posts)I don't care if he currently is or has been a Catholic Priest, a Jewish Rabbi, a Muslim Imam, or a Protestant Pastor, I don't think people holding a religious office and part of the hierarchy of a religion should be elected to represent all the people.
