I also thought it was funny how he sidestepped my question about the church being against nudity in public, I mean, my question was asked in the sincere spirit of curiosity and he thought I came with some sort of agenda. Now THAT spoke volumes about the Church of Mormon imho.
I am not defending that church, and I can tell you from experience that I congratulate the boy. They are taught how to protect themselves from all sorts of verbal and yes physical attacks.
And they do "see" themselves as possible targets. They get "strange" phone calls all the time and can be quite wary of a given situation. These poor misguided young men are fully programmed and many are ready to see GeeBus rather than deny their faith. On the other hand, MANY are "pushed" into missions and serve missions unwillingly, let's say their full heart ain't into it... Years ago, one of my boys spent two years in Mexico and another did two years in Honduras. They think me a little "weird" with the Work, but they respect my views and we do talk...
Anybody know any good mormon sites to check out and post links to the above or any former mormons who want to express outrage?
Yep, lots of them... Here's just one I've read...
_http://www.exmormon.org/
A site for those who are
Questioning their faith in the Mormon Church
And for those who need support
As they transition their lives to
a normal life.
... they have a lot of money ...
Now that you bring it up... They got moe money than you'd think. How many millions of members multiplied by 10% tithing of ones' increase (that's gross, before taxes) is mucho deneros.!.!.! With vast invsetments income and properties, hotels, malls, and more...
An exceptional good ole boys club. Thinking about my old mormonic days, I do miss members helping members. Doctors, attorneys, realtors, mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, and anything else you can think of. All I had to do was make a phone call and the "call line" was activated. Someone will help somehow. Good gawd, yeah, if they'd get on the bandwagon to fight something, the MSM would haveta take notice... Ain't gonna happen...
And oh yeah, so ya know they all ain't sheep, we got neked...
... Mormon women wear "the garment" even when having sex!
Somewhere, I KNOW someone takes that as "gospel"... Hoo-Boy, the stories I could tell...
