Ann Romney: Mormon missions and U.S. military are ‘different ways of serving’

[ABikerSailor]

Tell people who are escorted across hostile borders in war time by missionaries that missionaries help only their church.

Got a link for actual instances where this happened, or is this more of your "I know someone who told me about someone else who said this person did that"?

I'll look...meanwhile:

"Shelters continue to open for residents evacuating from their homes as Tropical Storm Isaac moves through the state.
As of 9 a.m., 31 shelters are open around south and central Mississippi, sheltering 2,113 evacuees.

Residents should monitor local media outlets for updates. MEMA updates shelter information as it becomes available. Shelter updates may also be available from the Mississippi Red Cross at www.mississippi-redcross.org. This website also lists what items evacuees should bring to a Red Cross Shelter.

Open Shelters:

Copiah County:
Antioch Missionary Baptist Church: 13146 Highway 51 S, Hazlehurst.
Sylvarena Baptist Church: 1119 Old Sylvarena Road, Wesson.
Camp Wesley Pines: 1095 Camp Wesley Pines Rd, Gallman.
Highland Baptist Church, 505 North Jackson St. Crystal Springs.
Gallman Baptist Church, Gallman.
Living Water Baptist Church, 124 South Ragsdale Ave., Hazlehurst.

Covington County:
Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, 5461 Highway 49 South, Mt. Olive"

Interestingly enough, not a single Mormon temple is listed.

I thought we were defending Mormon missionaries because of what Anne Romney said, not deflecting away from Mormon missionaries (which aren't a part of either linked post you've put up) by using Christian missionaries as well.

This is about the Romney's and their church being a different way to serve the country like the military.

Ringing doorbells with a Book of Mormon in your hand is not the same thing as fighting in the armed forces of our country. There is no comparison whatsoever. Yes, trying to spread the Word of Christ is laudable - for those to whom such is important. But there are those for whom such is totally unimportant. How are Mormon missionaries serving those folks?

Serving in the military serves everyone in our country. I doubt that there is anyone in America who would not object to having some foreign form of government shoved down their throat. I suspect there are quite a few in America who would object to having some form of religion shoved down their throat.

Another significant distinction: Solders are paid by the government. Mormon missionaries are part of a private organization.

Yeah. It's a different type of service. Just like Ann said.

How are you not understanding this?

They don't want to understand...They need to keep up the insolent piety and phony outrage to distract from what a towering buffoon their Boiking is.

But she is contending that, while different, it is also EQUIVALENT - and we are arguing that it IS NOT equivalent.

Mormons take in 7 billion a year just from the members. I'm sure they spend it wisely.

You mean, Mormons REQUIRE their followers to tithe 10 percent to the church, and the gross from that forced charity is around 7 billion a year.

Nothing is forced at all ABS.

Post 159 where Stephanie referenced my post where it shows they are required.

If they aren't, then why is there a meeting with the Bishop, and why did Sen. Orrin Hatch sponsor a bill to require people going through bankruptcy to still pay tithe?

Sounds forced to me.

It's different, but the same. Do you know how silly that sounds?

So because you were in that Navy, you know more than ANYONE else.
You're not the only one that's been in the military for that many years, and i know quite a few of them that would say you are full of shit.

What the fuck is "that Navy"? As far as I know, it's been pretty much the same Navy since it's inception during the Revolutionary war.

Do I know that I'm not the only one who's retired or served in the military? What the fuck are you, stupid? Of course I do, as I was a Personellman, who was responsible for all the paperwork.

And.............I never said that I know any more than anyone else. I simply said that comparing a Mormon mission to the U.S. Military is a bunch of crap at best, because the missionaries don't have to deal with even half the things that the military does, and I was basing that on my experience as well as the experiences of the commands I served with who sent volunteers out into places when asked.

Besides..............if a Mormon mission was attacked, who do you think is going to be called on to rescue them? That's right..............the military.

And..............exactly what am I full of shit about? My military service? If that's your bitch, my pension and ID card would beg to differ.

First of all, i meant to say "THE Navy". I have nothing against any branch of service. I've had family members in just about all of them.

My father was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy in WWII & Korean War. So no, i was not dissing your service!

And now to clarify your second "Mis" statement........what i said if you read it again was...
"You're not the only one that's been in the military for that many years" So no...you are the stupid one for not comprehending what your reading.

And no...I didn't mean your service was full of shit. I appreciate your service. I just meant YOU were full of shit....

Of course - but that's not what I am saying; that's what ANN ROMNEY is contending, don't you see? Things can be different but the same - it is called equivalency. In this case, I am saying that serving one's country by trying to bring people to Chirst is not the equivalent of serving one's country by being in the military.

When you say "different ways of serving", you are saying that both ways are ways of serving. I am saying that knocking on doors to bring people to Christ is NOT a "way of serving" our nation. Not when compared to military service.

You have no idea what you're talking about....you have no idea what a missionary is. And is it JUST Mormon missionaries that you have a problem with? And why do you have a problem with any Missionary SERVING OUR COUNTRY by helping people put their lives together?

You do know that the 3 words SERVING OUR COUNTRY does not belong to the military alone?

*Missionaries*..you loons insist that *missionaries* don't help Americans.

Which is of course idiotic, but whatever.

Progressives have opted out of all service themselves, and assigned service to the government ONLY. They are highly suspicious of ANYONE ELSE who "serves" their fellow man. It's based on the fact that they have opted out of serving others, and think their service, as it is compelled by the government, is the only type that counts.

That isn't all they do, you bigoted chowderhead.

You obviously know nothing about LDS or their missionary work....I do....I've worked with and around missionaries and they help all sorts of people as part of their mission.
