Historically, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) has not wanted to be called Christians. Their founder, Joseph Smith, said that Christians were ‘all wrong’ – their creeds were an abomination and that they were all corrupt.’ (Pearl of Great Price).
The Mormon church is now spending millions of dollars on a public relations campaign aimed at moving into mainstream Christianity and trying to overcome the stigma of being a cult. The political and economic benefits are obvious. Further, if they are accepted as traditional Christians their proselytising of Christian denominations will also be easier
If you can’t accept what the leader of your church has stated, how can you accept your church. I don’t make this stuff up I simply question it.
My boyfriend told me that he’s interested in joining the Naval Reserves, last night. I’ve been a complete wreck since. I need information about the reserves, how they work, how they are different from the active forces, the chances of being deployed, will he be able to do the job he wants to, how can one be deployed if they only do 1 weekend a month? He’s 25 with a college degree in marketing but has been out of work the past 2 months. He wants to do Media Relations work at the base in the city where we live. Apparently he thinks he’s just going to walk in to this position at this particular base with no risk of being deployed. After talking with several people at work today, they’ve stated that this is def not the case. They said that recruiters will say anything you want to hear to get you in the door but it’s never true afterwards. I was also told that reserves are the first to go overseas to Iraq and the like. Can somebody please provide me with accurate info? I’m a crying mess!
