I just read an article published April 30 in the Salt Lake Tribune entitled "Top Mormon, Adventist Leaders Meet in Advance of Media Push". Here's a copy of what was published:
=============
"Leaders of two of the world’s fastest-growing Christian denominations met recently to discuss an upcoming social media campaign designed to promote faith and religious freedom. Mormon Elders L. Tom Perry and Ronald A. Rasband huddled with senior Seventh-day Adventist leaders, including Adventist Church Vice President Lowell Cooper, on April 24 at Adventist headquarters in Silver Spring, Md.

The visiting LDS officials discussed the media initiative — dubbed “Faith Counts” — that will “make the case for why faith, family and
religious freedom need to be preserved in society,” reports the Adventist News Network.
They also offered a preview of the campaign, produced by a multi-faith group and set to debut within a month.

Perry, an apostle in the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasized the need to “find a way [of] keeping faith
alive in the 14- to 35-year-olds so that faith will grow with them, so they’ll have a foundation for their life,” according to the LDS
Church’s newsroom website.

He also noted Mormonism’s recent Christ-centered Easter video, titled “Because of Him,” that captured nearly 5.3 million Web views.
Rasband, a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, discussed partnering with Adventists in “defense of religious freedom,” the LDS
website reports.

“We are trying to join with people of good faith like you,” he said, “to help fight these very basic battles that are going on in the
world.”

Cooper welcomed such a partnership, according the Adventist News Network. “We have found that it’s good to have you as neighbors and partners,” he told his Mormon guests.
The LDS Church reports more than 15 million members worldwide, while Adventists have more than 18 million.
=================
Makes you wonder when Cooper "welcomes" a partnership with the Mormons. I've heard rumors of a connection between Mormons & SDA's over the years. Probably has something to do with certain alleged "prophets" copying other's works. I would like to know if there's something more sinister going on behind the scenes.

Anyways, thought you all might be interested in this news item. Cheers. - cliff

Thanks, Cliff. Richard also saw that news note.

We have a friend who says of the Mormons, JWs, and SDAs..."They all have the same chairman of the board."

I agree...and that explains how they can collaborate.

They are cleverly-disguised businesses with a thin veneer of religion, selling Professional-Grade Complete Pre-packaged Heretical Lifestyle Packages®©™.

Seriously. If I were going to join another non-Christian religion, I would choose Mormonism since it has the 18-Wives Product®©™.

It's funny, yet not funny, but you can sure tell that the one cult was started by a woman and the other by a man!

The devil is certainly able to get all his religions together.

I had never really thought of it that way, but now that you have said it, it really does make sense!

You need to remember the Mormons marry the dead so maybe they plan on marrying EGW to Joseph Smith but yet keep their names separate. Who knows what they are up to but it would not suprise me.

Gcfrankie~

Hmmmmm! Interesting!

I thought the Mormons baptized other living Mormon members, for people
who had died,(unbaptized) so they would not lose out on eternal life!

I did not know they also "marry" the dead! Ewwww!
