The United States Constitution will one day "hang like a thread..."

The White Horse Prophecy attributed to Joseph Smith and spoken of approvingly by Brigham Young may not be acknowledged as official Mormon church doctrine but it is believed by every Mormon household I ever visited when I was in that church. In the Prophecy, LDS church elders rush in to save the nation and establish a Mormon Theocracy - the United States of Latter Day Saints.

Its no surprise to me that Bishop Willard has such a careless disregard for global international politics - he thinks he is the White Horse.

Growing up in Utah being preached to about it convinced me these people are nuts. But sadly, they believe this tripe.

They just won't be honest with any non-members. Its part of "Lying for the Lord" - practiced by Mormons since the days of Joseph Smith.
