"Usually it boils down to somebody somewhere did something they were offended by and they never got over it "
Actually, it's about ten events that all had major impacts on me. Some even impact the current health and welfare of the state of Nevada. Look up Harry Reid, Dario Herrera (his Mormon convert protege going to jail for taking money from titty bar owners and land developers in the Gsting scandal). This isn't little stuff, it is major sordid stuff linked to the real mafia and Oscar Goodman, the mafia mayor of Vegas.
You people have noooo idea how brutal some of this stuff is. Go see Casino, or watch the Godfather. The Mormons aren't the worst, but they have damn well looked the other way. Really people, research Dario Herrera and Gsting and you will find a treasure trove. Reid got Herrera to convert to Mormon.
I have 40 megabytes of research on all this, I've been a paid opposition researcher in the past, so anyone who believes I'm smoking dope - well lets just say I can go toe to toe dishing dirt in Vegas - a heavily Mormon city.
So, you are a professional Dirt Digger, who has issues with the Mormon Church which are personal. This explains a lot.
Is it possible there were just bad people (The politicians from any religion are not exactly the best ant the brightest after all) and not the church itself? Are most Mormons good people in your opinion, or are w all politicians in sheep’s clothing to you?
Not that I expect it to help. If a Mormon offended you in any way, I apologize for any obnoxious or offensive action they may have taken. Truly the church does not teach that we should offend any man intentionally; however, there are those in every religion who are not keepers of the word, but hearers only. Mormons are no exception to this.
I will state that the illegal dealings you list here are not in keeping with the church’s teachings, and I condemn illegality be it land deals, graft, protection, or any other immoral and illegal activity in the strongest terms.
I have no interest in dishing Dirt, so I’ll just take your word that there are those in Vegas who are not keeping the commandments (the sky is blue alert!) I used to go there for conventions for work, I always felt no matter how much I washed, I was not really clean until I got home, do you know what I mean?
Any way, I am sorry some of our flock have given you problems.
You just lost.
Gimme any religion, company, country, party, whatever and if I'm paid to research dirt on em I'm gonna find it.
