    Rammell calls meeting for LDS elders only


    Published: Monday, December 21, 2009 5:49 PM MST

    IDAHO FALLS -- Idaho gubernatorial candidate Rex Rammell will be mixing what he calls doctrines from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints into his gubernatorial campaign in a series of meetings slated for LDS elders only.

    In January, Rammell will kick off a series of special meetings targeted specifically at "faithful priesthood-holders of the LDS Church" to discuss the so-called "White Horse" prophecy.

    The first meeting will held at the Hampton Inn in Idaho Falls between 7 and 8 p.m. on Jan. 19. Subsequent meetings will be held in Rexburg, Blackfoot, Pocatello, Twin Falls and Boise, and only men active in the LDS Church have been invited to attend.

    "There is nothing secret about the meeting -- it's just the sacred nature of the things we will be talking about," said Rammell. "We are going to talk about (LDS Church founder) Joseph Smith's prophecy that the Constitution will be hanging by a thread and that the Latter-day Saint elders will step forward and save it.

    "Only LDS elders are invited because I don't want people there that don't believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet. Any active member of the church is welcome to attend."

    Rammell said that though LDS women were not invited because of lack of space, he hopes that the men will take the message home to their wives.

        yeah good luck with that strategy, dude. In Idaho politics, Mormon is a strike against you, by the way. Crazy doesn't help, either.

          This man needs medication. Maybe when the health care bill passes he'll get some.

            I'm sure he doesn't think he needs medication. Are you saying that under the new health care bill the government will medicate people against their will? I knew it!!!

              Thnx, I was wondering how being a Mormon effects ones chances in Idaho politics.

              How serious of candidate is he?

              I may be small, but I'm slow.

                Interesting comment:

                James wrote on Dec 22, 2009 8:18 AM:

                " As a Mormon who has researched the "White Horse" prophecy, I call on fellow Mormons to reject this rumor and stop promoting it. Do not attend Rammell's meeting, as you'll be playing into a psychological trap.

                He'll tell everyone at the meeting that they are "called" to "save" the Constitution and LDS members will leave the meeting feeling better than everyone else - more special - more patriotic, just because they showed up! Baloney!

                Mormons do not have a monopoly on patriotism or constitutional loyalty. We save the Constitution by exercising our franchise (right to vote) for men and women who believe in and claim allegiance to the Constitution and its principles.

                Rammell is completely loony. Your average LDS member hasn't ever read the Constitution and doesn't know Constitutional issues. So, in that vein, how could they be the standard bearers? How could THEY rush in to save anything "Constitution?"

                If the Constitution hangs by a thread and someone is going to save it, then those good men and women will come from varied religious backgrounds.

                Rammell's world view is very skewed. "

                      Well played. Perhaps someone can have this guy committed as an endangerment to himself and others so that the state can medicate him against his will.

                          It's probably not a coincidence that the book on the whitehorse prophecy by the late F-LDS Ogden Kraut has just come out in paperback.

                            Was White horse prophecy published in an earlier edition of Mormon Doctrine? I thought I saw it originally in Mormon Doctrine, but then later when I looked I never found it.

                            On the mish, someone had a copy and it circulated around. It was one of those stay up late Sunday night and talk about deep doctrine subjects. Good times.
