Holy shit. Just heard the new TV commercial for their new Krabby Patty Kolob Burger. I about crapped my pants. I thought "WTF-Mormons are getting their own Hamburger? No way!"

No. That would stop the ability for everyday mormons to judge each other, separate the chosen from the gentiles and gossip about fellow ward members.

Oh good! More neighborhoods and cities to piss of and sue if they don't let them force their church Costcos into their neighborhood. Plus, Price, Utah? There's a whole 6500 people there. They have 1 McDonalds. Now, They'll have a 1:1 ratio of McDonalds to McTemples.

That's how I think. Someone should try that. Or maybe, many do and the church quietly pays to make it go away.

Yes, grief can make people think wrongly. But he wasn't grieving when he decided to continue to take a beating from "his" church for all those years, while he was with his partner. I agree, he needs counseling from a real, non-religious counselor.

"Proving that the family member didn't know or completely disapproved of the church's activities when that person had been a church member all of his/her life would be a very tall order indeed." Yeah, but what if their children weren't members and knew nothing of the church practices? Times have changed since Packham's opinions, laws have changed recently. I'm asking if elder abuse l

I agree. But can it be used by family, that lost an inheritance to the church, in court? And further, can the law enforce elder abuse laws against them?
Forum: Recovery Board

Many states now have laws against people taking advantage of the elderly. Many times it's abuse and lack of care from family members and often it's also pressure into signing financial documents that they don't really understand. They will convince them to put their lifelong earned finances in a Trust managed by them and they pilfer from that trust. They will get them to rewrite their will, benef

I understand that. That's why I was asking. If he just quit his job, it was probably because he got caught doing something nefarious. If he quit the church, he probably wised up and decided to stop tolerating the bullshit. The OP didn't make it clear about his level of quitting.

Did he quit the church or just the job, sorry, "calling"? If it's just the job than I agree with Moe, either an affair or financial crime. Keep us posted. More Deets!

"The Mormon church has evidently made the decision to keep pumping temples out at as brisk a pace as possible." And as cheaply as possible. I've been in nicer Hilton Hotel lobbies that are nicer than them, although I think LDS Inc. ripped off their design. I'm betting a 4th grade class can draw a better design than these new ones.

I grew up in Texas. Just got back from a 4 day trip in Houston. "The" church is getting increasingly aggressive and bullying in their McTemple building campaign.

Funny that my Mom's old church , Clear Lake Presbyterian is also included in that for being a Red Cross Center. I worked at City Auto Parts on Main Street in League City in the late 70's.
