For example, in a large metropolitan area, you will have Oriental Catholic Churches, Indian/Sri Lankan Catholic Churches, Nigerian Catholic Churches etc. Catholics are not a tiny sect anymore controlled by a bunch of royal/influential families. The LDS is comparable to where the Catholic Church was in the middle ages time frame with the Medici family controlling the flock and leadership. Catholic

The LDS are always promoting Marriotts, Romneys, Huntsman, etc basically, rich white men but I have never seen LDS show any captains of industry or really smart, articulate LDS women out there. Do not bring up Marie Osmond since she is just a useless singer who peddles junk on QVC

I am a nonLDS with no desire to ever be one who lives and works with lots of them. I just to like to figure out what makes them so happy campers - is it a facade or are they really that mindless and drunk on the LDS koolaid.

Desnews constantly identifies someone who is an athlete/entertainer/business types as LDS. I do not know any other religion that does this. I am sure their are lots of prominent Catholics, Baptists, Hindus, Atheists, Muslims, out there but they do not seem to go around advertising themselves by constantly wearing their religion on their sleeve. My LDS friends constantly bring up famous LDS

Since there is a lot of poverty and you can buy a lot of converts in the slums, I saw the Phillipines thread so wondering if India is on SLC's target list to get lots of new members to maintain their myth of the fastest growing religion in the world

Is my assumption on LDS being >90% Republican too high or is it in the ball park

Is it stupidity, oblivious to reality or parakeeting what their leaderships has been telling them. I know a lot of LDS who state this and I just circle my eyes knowing full well that many other Christian faiths such as nondenominatonal Christians, Pentecostals and Jehovah Witness are growing much faster in the US.

http://thirdtierreality.blogspot.com/ Law school is a joke, too many graduates, no jobs either, bar exam has a pass rate greater than 90% and law school is easy to get in also - lots of schools with open admission, get a doctorate in accounting or finance or become a plumber or electrician to be employable

You get to worship old white men from USA and hope you can someday become white and delightsome and Republican like the Mormons in the USA

Also, you have bash any liberals/democrats like Jon Stewart etc. You also have to believe Obama is a socialist and also belive that Mitt is the 2nd Coming of JS. These are part of your membership privileges also

My theory is that LDS still want the white and delightsome heroes to represent their church and only want nonwhites for lip service and to avoid being called racist
