If Salt Lake City is considered Zion to Mormons - and Rick Romney is a Mormon?

Question

Does that make Rick Romney a Zionist

And if so - since Zionists are also Globalists - does that make Rick Romney a Globalist

I mean it is no secret that all the trouble in the Middle East and all the wars have been caused by extreme religious right Neocon Zionists and Globalists.

So if Zion is Salt Lake City

And if Mormons are Zionists

Then - well - you get the picture.

Answer 1

yes mormons consider salt lake city 'zion' or their holy land given to them by god himself in a vision to one of their first prophets brigham young. salt lake city is commonly called zion in local literature. [see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cityweekly.jpg] and mormons named many of the natural landmarks in the area accordingly, mount nebo, the jordan river, etc. [see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_River_(Utah)] "in 1847 it was renamed at the suggestion of Heber C. Kimball to the Western Jordan after the Jordan River in the Holy Land, due to similarities such as a freshwater lake source and an inland salt-sea destination" and also [see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigham_young] "Young had a variety of nicknames, among the most popular of which is "The American Moses," [2] (sometimes "The Modern Moses" or "The Mormon Moses" [3]) because, like the biblical figure, he led his followers, the Mormon pioneers in an often arduous exodus through a desert, to what they saw as a promised land." many mormons will try to whitewash this strange history to appear 'normal' though, as was the case with mitt romney recently [see: http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/06/11/america/mormons.1-72988.php] "George Stephanopoulos of ABC News asked Romney about a Mormon teaching that Jesus will come to the United States when he returns to reign on earth. Romney responded that the Messiah will return to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, "the same as the other Christian tradition." They were just in disbelief, saying, 'That's not true; Jesus is coming back to Missouri,"' Grover said. "It's the LDS Church's 10th article of faith that Zion will be built upon the American continent." mormons believe jesus will return to missouri because they are taught the garden of eden was there. and that native americans' ancestors were israelis. [update] it amazes me how many mormons are willfully ignorant of their own faith. i've been voted thumbs down twice on this post. here is another tidbit when the church setteled salt lake their urban plan was called "plat of the city of zion". now i can see what non-mormons in utah mean by living behind the "zion curtain". the church evens disciplines members who read materials that may contradict it. evidently mormons don't have spiritual journeys. they are dictated them.

Answer 2

I believe globalists are the cause of all major troubles in the world, but I don't believe that it's the Zionists doing it. You're way off. There may be a few Jews involved (like the Rothschilds), but there's tons more non-Jews involved (like the Rockefellers, DuPonts, Kennedys, Carnegies, Astors, Bushes, etc).

Stop blaming the Jews for everything. Your argument will receive more acceptance if you avoid the anti-semitic nonsense. Very very few Jewish people have anything to do with globalism and the pursuing of it.

Answer 3

No you are totally wrong. It's Mitt Romney.

The word Zion appears repeatedly in all the books of scripture of the Church. In latter-day revelation, Zion is defined as "the pure in heart" (D&C 97:21).

In the early days of this dispensation, Church leaders counseled members to build up Zion by emigrating to a central location. Today our leaders counsel us to build up Zion wherever we live. Members of the Church are asked to remain in their native lands and help establish the Church there. Many temples are being built so Latter-day Saints throughout the world can receive temple blessings.

Answer 4

For one: Zion is defined as the pure in heart and is found any place the Lord has established his church on the earth.

Two: His name is Mitt Romney and he is not a Globalist he is a Conservative Republican.

Have a nice day

Answer 5

Drizzt has it right! Who is Rick Romney? I have heard of Mitt Romney, but not Rick Romney.

Answer 6

MITT Romney. If you're sufficiently uninformed that you don't even know the name of the presidential hopeful you're trying to slander/malign/raise grave doubts about... it makes your arguments far less persuasive. He's not my choice but I sincerely doubt he has a sinister agenda.

Answer 7

Zion is the pure in heart. And it's Mitt.

Answer 8

You got all that wrong buddy. One mother in heaven and they don't speak of her as she is too special. Open your heart they are not bad people at all.

Answer 9

The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.

We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

Answer 10

Its Mitt, not Rick!!
