They can be nice people, but stuff like this and Mountain Meadows leaves one looking over their shoulder.
We had Mormon neighbors that were good people.
Went to visit them at their grandmothers in a small town in Idaho. Went to the little Protestant church in town.
The preacher was very proud of their new doors that they had just installed.
“Yeah - they were special ordered. They had to be installed by factory trained guys. When we ordered them the company said their were tons of guys in our area. Except they were all Mormon - and none of them would install them in a Christian church. They all came up with various excuses. Finally found a guy in Colorado that we paid to travel out here to install them. It is also almost impossible as a Christian to get a job out here as most of the businesses are Mormon owned.”
Although I must say, even in that town the grandmother was very friendly to our Christian family. She offered to make me coffee the first morning.
“Oh - that’s okay. I know that’s against your rules.”
“Now you’re starting to sound like Brother Andrew!! He told me to get rid of my coffee maker. And I told him if he didn’t like it he can get out of MY home!!! I’ve got Christian friends, and if I want to serve them a cup of coffee it’s my right to do so!!! And if I’m going to Hell for that - well so be it!!!!”
