Twilight Zone theme goes here
Remember the Twilight Zone episode titled
"To Serve Man"?
It was about entities from another planet who came to earth ostensibly
"to serve man." They helped mankind, solving all of our problems for
us. But there was a twist. At the end of the story, we learn that the
entities really came to feed on man. In many ways, this is like Mormon
Mitt Romney, his 5 sons, and us. Let me explain.
To Serve Mitt
Remember
last week's story, about the lady who asked why none of Mitt Romney's 5 sons enlisted in the military to support the war? Mitt Romney defended
by saying his sons were supporting our country (implied) indirectly by supporting him, directly, in his run for the Presidency. (I guess it's a given in his mind that we need a savior named Mitt Romney.)
Actually, having his sons serve him this way is consistent with Mormonism. Let's start at the beginning.
Alien
You see,
according to Mormonism, they are entities from another planet.
Mormons
purposely hide this, coyly saying we were in "heaven" before we were
born here. But like everything in Mormonism, what they mean is not what
you mean. Mormon heaven is not your heaven. They speak a different
language than ours.
The plan begins with our pre-mortal life, or our life before we came to Earth. Mormons believe we lived in heaven with our Heavenly Father as spirits that He had created.
When they say "heaven," what they really mean is that we all lived
on a planet near the star Kolob,
which was our "heavenly father's" planet. (There's some debate within
Mormonism whether Kolob is a star or a planet.) In other words, we
lived with our father on his planet. We were entities from another
planet, just like in the Twilight Zone episode.
Further
evidence of coyness, when they say "created," they really mean that we
were born by celestial sex between heavenly father and one his many
wives. Mormons even sing about this in their hymn,
"Oh My Father." In the heav'ns are parents single?
No; the thought makes reason stare!
Truth is reason; truth eternal
Tells me I've a mother there.
Mormons
will rarely square with you (there's a pun in there for you temple
Mormons) about what they really mean. They like to say you're not ready
for solid food and so they only give you "milk." A characteristic of a
cult... they won't reveal their deeper secrets until you're in.
But you can figure it out for yourself. Here's the end text from
the quoted page above.
Mormonism
also teaches that each husband and wife [see, they're Married. With
children!]—each eternal companionship—will have the opportunity to
create spirit children and worlds of their own. [That is, "create" as
in "giving birth." And women in Mormon heaven get pregnant the same way
they do down here. (Remember, the Mormon god has a body just like
yours!]]
Families are Forever?
This
doctrine that they came from another planet where they lived with their
"father" gives you some insight into what's coming next.
If
you've ever had Mormon missionaries stop by your door, you've probably
heard the phrase "Families are forever." (According to
this site, the Mormon church has trademarked the term "Forever Families," but I cannot confirm this
at the USPTO site.)
The doctrine is that all good Mormon families will be together for all
eternity, presumably with your children being with you on your planet
if you are "
worthy enough" to become a god someday.
So, Mitt Romney's sons will be serving him forever.In this sense, it makes sense to Mitt Romney that his sons should serve him now, helping him in his
mission campaign
because, should they remain worthy enough, they will be serving him
forever anyway. And so we get a glimpse into the mind of a Mormon.
And
of course, you picked up that, according to Mitt Romney, it is better
for our country that his sons serve him (a Mormon) rather than serve in
the military. As in the Twilight Zone episode, Mitt Romney claims to
mean well. He will solve all of our problems. Of course, one of our
problems is that we're not Mormon.
We are infidels. He needs to help us through that.
What's wrong with this picture?
If
you think about this "family forever" thing just a little bit. there's
something wrong with this picture. And this doctrine. (Aside from being
blasphemy to Bible believing Christians.) It's logically inconsistent.
You see, Mitt Romney's father,
George Romney,
was presumably a devout temple Mormon, who presumably did all the right
things and is now a god somewhere on his own planet. So won't Mitt
Romney be on his father's planet instead of his own when he dies?
And what about George Romney's father,
Miles Romney?
Assuming he too was perfect (for "ye must be perfect") and is now a
god, then isn't his son, George Romney with him on his planet? That
would mean Mitt would be with his dad on his grandfather's planet. Not
his own. Ditto for his sons.
And so it goes. One could even
imagine that, according to the Mormon doctrine of "families are
forever" that every good Mormon would return to "heavenly father," from
whence they came, to be with him forever. So shouldn't all Mormons go
back to his planet to be with him instead of getting their own planet?
Very confusing.
Food for thought
Getting
back to the main point, in a sense, Mitt Romney is eating his own. And
they love him for it! They serve at his call, just like all good
Mormons serve the call of their church or high priesthood holder.
Naturally,
his sons can do what they want. My big concern, is that, as in the
Twilight Zone episode, you may get taken in. Don't fall for the "To
serve man" pitch. Mormons say they come from another planet.
Therefore, they are aliens and speak an alien language. I'm trying to
translate it for you. As you can see with his 5 sons, when Mitt Romney
talks about serving, it's quite different from what you or I mean.
Don't be taken in. Don't vote for Mitt Romney. Don't put a Mormon in
the White House.
