With all the media attention on mormons lately, i'm wondering why no one has done an article on the sexism in the temple ceremony. Ann Romney made a sacred covenant to obey her husband in the temple. This is the biggest reason I would never vote for Mitt Romney. Perhaps they are waiting for him to get the nomination before going after him big time?

Watch and see what happens if Romney sews up the GOP nomination. Brother Reid of Nevada won't like what's coming. But his cohorts won't hesitate to throw him under a bus if the Presidency is at stake.

It seems that the media has been a bit hesitant to go into details of the temple ceremony, perhaps either out of respect or fear of backlash. I though the biggie in the temple was Romney's oath to put the building up of the Mormon Church ahead of else in his life (including his country).

I have a list of 15 facts about women in the Mormon church on my blog. Four are about the temple. It has been read a stunning 41 times now. Not exactly mass media, but still, someone is on it :-)

It's in Dutch so it won't be of much use to most people here.

Well did they go after our current President and his affiliation with his "church"??? NO! THe media is just inept. Plain and simple. No matter how you cut it, one's faith CAN have a huge influence in the decisions you make about the direction of this country. I wonder if he gets the nomination if the DEMS will be the ones who bring it up.

Yer kidding, right? They were all over Obama and his church and racist Pastor Jeremiah Wright.

Sorry, it had to be said.

I've been trying to get media people more interested in the Mormon problems. Not much luck so far:

"Questions for Mitt Romney" http://packham.n4m.org/romney.htm

"Mitt Romney's Mormon Secrets" http://packham.n4m.org/romney-secrets.htm

Please feel free to copy and send to any journalists you can think of.
