If I was a nutbar bent on killing a religious person, I think a Mormon would be my last choice.
In the 1850's, Mormons annihilated an entire wagon train of Arkansans coming through Utah because a couple of Mormons were murdered in Arkansas.
Just sayin'.
So just show me ONE faith that does not have blood shed in their past either to them or to others. This Mormon faith has as all faiths under gone a few changes since its founding. Protestants no longer burn people at the steak in Salem Mass. --By the way what was done to those people back then was totall illegal by the laws of the time.
Any way, the Church is finally coming into the current times, they now allow nonwhites to have a chance to become part of the church directors boards.
Mormons have the money, they have to as there is so much we spend a fortune on each year they never use or buy. NO, booze, tobacco, chocolate,coffee, tea or soda with caffeine. No chocolate ever for life, hot coco or a rum and coke. I do not know if they eat pork or other dietary no-no's.
All I know is that they have a years supply of food on hand for each member of the family, wear unusual underware with strange symbols on them, baptise the dead, George Washington is now in Mormon Heaven don't matter he likes it or not.
I have to mention the appearance of the members themselves. Every Mormon I have ever met looked like they could have been on Lawrence Welks Show. FLAWLESS, not one zit, healthy as a horse and Virginal, even the old men that sang and played in the band looked Healthy.
They do have some problems with humane nature. Donny and Marie Osmond ran into that . Marie was married in the Inner Sanctum meaning she paid a pretty penny to be married for life. Left her with a problem when she divorced.
Then there is the Mormon Bible that I was given by a friend that confuses and boggles my mind. But then some parts of the Bible make me wonder what the heck was really going on.
I lump the Mormons into the Christian faith, same as I do the Quakers, Christian Scientists, Seventh Day Adventists, Greek and Russian Orthodox, the Amish, the Catholic and the Jews for Jesus'.
Just to make this post interesting for me, do you Crock feel that because the American Indian slaughtered the people of waggon trains that were headed West that today we should be blaming them for what their Ancestors did to protect their life style.?
