But maybe it's just me.
Church leaders have said 200 members will live in the ranch compound, but Justice of the Peace Jimmy Doyle and others worry that far more are coming.
ya thier religion is a bit weird, but they are pretty nice people. Plus i like those old commericals from the church of jesus christ and later day saints, when they sang about breaking windows.
hey at least they aint jehovah witnesses.
...for class reading.
"Mr. Robinson, Mr. Robinson (what a horrible mess!),
I broke your window with my ball,
and I've come to confess. . ."
I can't remember where I left my keys half the time, but I can still recite a decade old commercial on cue.
A 16 year old girl pressured to marry an old man while living in an isolated community is a prisoner.
Found by Joseph Smith and sworn to by every memeber of his family-The single biggest religious fraud perpetrated on people.
They are doing this in the wrong place. They should do this in Massachusetts.
i liked the jingle about lying:
If you tell one lie, it leads to another; and you tell two lies to conquer each other; then you tell three lies...oh brother... you're in trouble up to your ears. You tell four lies so folks will respect you; you tell five lies so folks won't neglect you; you tell six lies, and then you collect you - a life full of worries and fears. So you lie and lie, and then keep on tryin'; every lie you tell will be falsifyin'; and you'll be neglected, rejected, disliked, and you should; 'cause when you lie - you're closing the door on everything good.
-now that will be stuck in your head for the next 20 years
JW's are a real pain. The Mormon missionaries are polite and will bolt if you don't want them around. JW's can't hear the word "No".
AMEN
You sir, need to read the rules of posting. We don't attack each other here in FR regardless of race, religion, or sex. In the property rights issues I have worked with many LDS and they were fine, upstanding citizens. Your logic of "I went out with one in high school" has about as much in logic as some of the things that could be said about Texas because I'm from Alaska argument. Baseless noise doesn't need to show up on the pages of FR.
Furthermore - these are fundamentalists in this article, not LDS.
I spent some time in Salt Lake City and my sister lived there for nearly 10 years. We are not Mormons. I am not convinced from my dealings with them that they are as moral and honest as some say. The dealings, after being asked if I was LDS and saying no, vary often turned out bad. I have not had that problem with other religious or ethnic groups or in other places. I am convinced that Mormons have no problem lying, cheating, or stealing from people outside of their own church. To my way of thinking, that is not moral or honest.
I didn't attack anyone. My opinion of Mormons is based on experience I've had with Mormon's. I didn't direct any attack at any one person (except for my ex-girlfriend and her kooky Mormon family). I guess I shouldn't post anything about Muslims or Democrats while I'm at it.
Every time I drive through Colorado City, the tune from Deliverance, Dueling Banjos, rings through my ears. They need some new outside wifestock; there is a wierd look in their eyes.
This story is about a weird bunch of welfare cheats on a sick power trip. But regarding the real Mormons and these people, there's no connection whatsoever.
As for your post, I'd say you should write Science Fiction, but it's pretty clear that you cannot write coherently.
