ChurchCo is quick to take credit, as 'the church spends lots of charity giving to disasters, etc'...


Do they thank the actual donors? Seldom at best.


When things go wrong in a family or with a 'worthy PH member' doing a Ponzi, or some other get-rich-quick, or even with a known child molester....

ChurchCo is OUT OF THE PICTURE.

They've had Plenty of time/opportunities to repudiate-disown Joey, Brigham, and others, Why haven't they done that?

In 'Rough Stone Rolling', did the author mention that Joe hooked up with a 14 y.o. girl?

Did he mention that Joe (reportedly) was 'sealed' (yeah, right) to other women before Emma?

HOW about the top layer of coins that proved there was sufficient capital to fund/start a "bank" in Nauvoo?

There's lots more, but Hey, it's the holidays.

They love compliance and conformity.

"We believe in being asubject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law."

Not only does this go against the Book of Mormon's own teachings on "kingmen", it suggests might is right. If someone is in power, do what they tell you and don't question them.

It's almost like a sports team.

Mormonism is, from its very roots, divisive. And it teaches mental gymnastics

When a Mormon gets rich, it's because they live the gospel.
If a Mormon is poor, it's a test.

Either way, "the" church is true.

Mormonism is the ultimate expression of “heads I win, tails you lose.”
