It is exactly like that in Utah. There is something almost devious about some who use Mormonism for their own gain. It is rampant!

Romney may not be one of them, but I have seen underhanded business dealing even within the heirarchy. When the apostles and Prophet were buying forged documents and squirreling them away from the sight of members, it was a glaring symbol of deception.

Google “Mark Hoffman” and “salamander letter.” I hate to point it out but Mormonism is known in the West for deception and advantageous (to them) business practices, pyramid schemes, land speculation fraud, white collar crime, bankruptcy.

They aren’t better than us. They aren’t more special. They have a high price PR firm that has made the nation believe what they wish them to believe. Divorce rates are the same as the general population, anti-depressant use is greater, sex crimes, rape is higher in Utah.

They are just people, just like everyone else. They have problems just like everyone else.

It would take exactly one, only one, shady deal that could be connected to Romney for Hillary to be the next President with a filibuster proof Senate majority. If there are any such deals in his past, you can darn well bet the clinton goon squad will find them/it.

With the Catholics, it's often their Knights of Columbus.

And the rest of us have the same things, sometimes via charitable organizations, sometimes via involvement with Masonry, etc.

There was a reason Christ drove the money-changers from the temple. A warning to those who would follow Him.

It's an open question whether Mormons have any bigger problem with this in towns or regions where they predominate than the other denominations have in their areas.
