Gee, you have a nice friendly religion there. No wonder mormons comprise 0.000000001% of the world's people, you're waaaayyyyyy too friendly.
The mormans showed thier hand when they sucked up to howard hughes and stole his estate.
Approximately three weeks after Hughes' death, a handwritten will was found on the desk of an official of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City. The so-called "Mormon Will" gave US$1.56 billion to various charitable organizations (including US$625 million to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute); nearly US$470 million to the upper-management in Hughes' companies and to his aides; US$156 million to first cousin William Lummis; US$156 million split equally between his two ex-wives Ella Rice and Jean Peters; and US$156 million to a gas-station owner named Melvin Dummar. Dummar initially denied any knowledge about the will but changed his story when his fingerprints were found on the envelope containing the will.
Dummar claimed to reporters that late one evening in December 1967, he found a disheveled and dirty man lying along U.S. Highway 95, 150 miles (240 km) north of Las Vegas. The man asked for a ride to Las Vegas. Dropping him off at the Sands Hotel, Dummar said the man told him he was Hughes. Dummar then claimed that days after Hughes' death, a "mysterious man" appeared at his gas station, leaving an envelope containing the will on his desk. Unsure if the will was genuine, and unsure of what to do, Dummar left the will at the LDS Church office. In a trial lasting seven months, the Mormon Will was eventually rejected by the Nevada court in June 1978 as a forgery. The court declared that Hughes had died intestate.
Hughes' US$2.5 billion estate was eventually split in 1983 among 22 cousins, including William Lummis who serves as a trustee of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dummar was largely discounted by the public as a phony and an opportunist. Jonathan Demme's film Melvin and Howard (starring Jason Robards and Paul Le Mat), was based on Dummar's tale.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Hughes Aircraft was owned by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, who sold it to General Motors in 1985 for US$5.2 billion. Suits brought by the states of California and Texas claiming they were owed inheritance tax were both rejected by the court. In 1984, Hughes' estate paid an undisclosed amount to Terry Moore, who claimed to have been secretly married to Hughes on a yacht in international waters off Mexico in 1949 and never divorced. Although Moore never produced proof of a marriage, her book, The Beauty and the Billionaire, became a bestseller.
sounds to me like the Supreme Court made a ruling and nobody took anything. I'm not quite sure your point.

The Mormon church Bought a controlling stake in BSA, and then changed the rules. The Scout handbook from the 70's tells scoutmasters not to even talk about religion let alone enforce a monotheistic pledge of allegiance. What's worse is that the BSA receives government funding even though they're still enforcing segregation. The Mormon church also spent MILLIONS of dollars advertising for the bill in California to ban gay marriage. Don't try to act like the Mormon church just bought the BSA for economic reasons. The Mormon church is proactive in spreading their belief system.
That's a definite YES!!!!!!!
Did you go preach in Africa and when someone asked you a question you said: go read my 92 pages thread at USMB? I bet you converted NO ONE in your 2 years, but got laughed at a lot.
whatever you say sonny. For me to respond on your level would be for me to say something like. "Yo Momma".

You know what my point is and has been consistantly in this thread. The mormans are about control as a cult is. They are about stealing inherhitances as they did with hughes. The mormans are about the money. Like the Jim Jones church with the exception of the suicides I see no difference.

Again I try to have first hand info before I rail on any group. About three years ago I was working on an invention that required a computer tech to verify the validity of a major component of my business plan. The guy I hired was a morman. He gave me the book of morman which I read. This poor fucker was unemployed when I met him but still so beat down by his church that he was more worried about paying a percentage to the LDS of what little money he had and would make than he was concerned about his own family.
A decent but very confused man.

That's a pretty nice way to compliment a "decent" man by calling him names and assuming he is confused and brainwashed. Maybe he knows something you don't. but that thought hasn't occured to you of course because you're such an intellectual.

The unfortunate people of the Jones family knew something I don't also. Believing something does not make it true...or safe....or even morally right. Re reading the nonsense in your book won't happen. I don't have any more time to waste on it.
Truthspeaker, what's it like to go through life and when people find out you're a mormon, they dismiss you outright and think you're a retard?
except for the mormon part, i expect it's much like your experience, retard.
you're dismissed.

Believing something does not make it true. Knowing it does. It would be a waste of time for you to further investigate something you are not interested in learning about. Happy Trails buddy.
"Last time I checked, it was ok for private organizations to make their own rules."
They get public funding through the federal and state government. They're acting like Dick Cheney, one day their public the next private. I agree that private organizations can do what they want, when they can afoord it. I don't like the fact that I'm paying to make homosexual youths feel like shit so much so that suicide becomes an option.
Has anyone seen the south park episode on Mormons.........dumbdadumbdumbdumb. those guys are hilarious.
You're not leaving? Fantastic! If you stay on long enough you may actually learn something. Be careful though. The dark side is enticing and you may never return once you venture over.The unfortunate people of the Jones family knew something I don't also.

Oh I'm not going anywhere...unless the administrator decides it so.
You cultists and thieves don't get a pass from me.
ouch
