Jon Huntsman is probably practicing Mormonism in its oldest and purest form...
Historical examples:
• John Taylor preaching in England that the Saints in Utah weren't practicing polygamy when he had lard-knows-how-many plural wives back in Utah... See also Joseph Smith's pronouncements on the same subject...
• Brigham Young claiming he would've brought the perpetrators of Mountain Meadows to justice soon after the fact if the government officials hadn't interevened and blocked him...
• Church teachings and history on the nature of religion and science that accompanied the firing of three BYU science professors circa 1910...
• Gordon B. Hinckley saying, "I'm not sure we teach that" in response to the "As God is man may become" couplet... Or the Hinckster denying any close relationship with Mark Hofmann...
• Revisionist church history on LDS racism and the flip flops (the most recent being racial intermarriage) on the subject. Look for the same thing to be happening on the gay rights/same sex marriage issue in the next decade...
My goodness what short memories some have...
Two articles from the the two church media "mouthpieces on the subject":
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=15513461>When asked about whether he still belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Huntsman was so cryptic the author wrote that she knew even less after questioning him...
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705372498/Huntsman-says-his-Mormon-church-membership-is-tough-to-define.htmlStuff like this is akin to asking inmates of the asylum whether they think they're crazy or not...
JMHO...
Utah Mormons favor Romney about 5-1 over Huntsman, and they're helping move the "Huntsman isn't really LDS" rumor along, and the Huntsman operation isn't denying this one because it'll play well on the national stage, and Utah Mormons (who are only a drop in the political ocean) will fall into line anyway...
Call me the equivalent of a you-know-what, the "Certicate Folks."
Show us the Greg Dodge letter there, Jon...
