Disguised Product Placement in Wall Street Journal

In summer of 2012, the Mormons made an advertising push using outdoor billboards to try sell present Mormons as being regular people.  The 2012 Presidential race, with Willard "Mitt" Romney as the GOP nominee, excited Mormons for several reasons:
  • higher profile for the religion
  • upon election, Romney would provide cover for further intelligence agency staffing by Mormons
  • church bishops would control Romney, and therefore control the direction of the country.
The Mormon marketing and branding push is continuing, though in more subtle ways.  The Wall Street Journal recently ran what appeared to be a company press release or paid article for Mormons.  The article/ad highlighted how a woman led a prayer.

The article/ad incorrectly referred to the Mormon religion as "Christianity", which is not correct.  The Mormon religion is a recently created cult which believes every member can rise to the status of God.  True Christianity believes there is only one God, therefore Mormons are not Christians.  Mormons don't display the cross, look down on unmarried women who don't have children (though now believe after death they will be rewarded with a husband and children) and it is difficult to escape the Mormon cult.

Shame on the Wall Street Journal.
