“so they were forced to go the route of subterfuge and deceit.”

Except two courts rejected the idea that there was anything deceptive about it. It was a very clear example of tounge in cheek parody, which REQUIRES the reader to realize that it is a deliberate parody to get the joke.

What was deceptive (or just stupid) was suing for trademark infringement when THEY HAD NO TRADEMARK.

Pretty unique situation: the mainstreamers have to admit that the plaintiff here was either deceptive or stupid.

I wonder which they will choose.

Come now, the joke is that Mormons are so paranoid about the Tanners that they would stoop so low.

Heck, you guys can’t even take postings of your secret handshakes or underwear without going ballistic. I think we know who can’t take a joke.

I’ve read a great deal of the Tanner’s material. They don’t use subterfuge and trickery to make thier case against Mormonism. They use Mormonism itself, it’s teachngs and it’s history.

So, Mormons register every domain that even has any passing resemblance to Lighthouse Ministries, and make it a parody of the ULM website.

Looks like Mormonism can’t defend itself from the truth, so they use subterfuge to hide.

Nice.
