The last step was that he "resigned" his membership in the Church, much to the dismay of a still-believing wife. As his marriage lurched towards divorce, he began to lay the guilt trip on his spouse. "How can you say you're committed to families if you won't stand by me?" This is a common argument that Satan uses to bring down the wife. A woman fears that divorce will leave her without support and leave her children fatherless. She reluctantly leaves the Church she has loved and the Lord she has seved.

If you are a woman who has a husband that is placing you in this situation, for the sake of your own salvation and that of your children, it is better to cut the apostate husband loose. As tragic as it may be, it would be more tragic for him to pull you and your children down to hell with him. If he insisted that you and your children remain inside a house that is burning down, would you stay or would you flee for your life and take your children with you?

I had a couple of Examiner articles that dealt with the whole partisan political thing. I got hammered by people on both sides, including by members of the Church. The thing I was trying to stress is that Mormons don't have a political "home" on either side. On the right, we've got anti-Mormon Evangelicals that form the base of the Republican party who think we're liberal on abortion and that our religion is a dangerous cult. On the left, we've got an anti-religion movement, gays, radical feminists, Gaia-worshiping environmentalists, and various race-baiting coalitions, all of whom hate Mormons as much as the Evangelicals do.

I think this is a significant time in US and world history because intolerance of the kingdom of God is rampant throughout the political spectrum. The world is teetering on the edge of financial collapse, the United States government could easily go the way of the Weimar Republic and end up in total civil breakdown. Out of that collapse, Zion is going to arise to fill the gap, to provide a "safety and a refuge." The current political polarization is setting up the conditions for the world to oppose Zion when it is established. My "gut" tells me that this is very close. I think it's of paramount importance that members "unplug" from the political parties and simply stand up for truth, no matter who's telling it.

I would say this guy is a fruitcake, but that would be bearing false witness against fruitcakes. Here's something else he wrote lately on this site:
