They are a repository of those values in an era when most of the rest of the country is losing them. I suspect God may be maintaining those values among them so there is an example remaining when the rest of the country comes to its senses.

Some folks here have swallowed the mormon propaganda wholesale!

I was born and raised in mormonism, have lived in several communities that were heavily populated and controlled by mormons, and I personally have know mormons who were/are drunks, wife beaters, thieves, pedophiles and most of all hypocrites! These same people would show up on the front row at church services, wearing their cloaks of piety.

When I was a youngster, I was molested by a mormon teacher who, even though his actions were known to many was never reprimanded by his church. My former father-in-law refused to rent his heavy equipment to the bishop because the bishop would cheat by running back the clocks on the equipment. There was always such a holier-than-thou attitude regarding the "word of wisdom" yet many smoked and had to have their coffee. There were several cases of adultery amongst the congregation that were known, but they were overlooked.

In short, to all you who think that all mormons are white as snow, they are no better than any other group of people...they just wear a false face to the world, and when these wonderful people are doing "good" deeds among you, keep one thing in mind: They want your membership...AND your money...because they are conditioned that "Every member is a missionary".

And are choking on it!

I get that Free Republic is your vehicle for punishing the Mormon church for your personal grievance against situations in your life. Perhaps there should be a permanent thread for you and your co haters where you can all spend your time airing complaints and hatred of that church without dragging every poster who is not anti Mormon into your wretchedness.

I am really very disgusted and annoyed that I am getting spammed by you and your co haters and request that you remove my name from your posting list.

Gee, sounds like members of just about any other religion you can think of. There are rotten apples in every religious barrel. You choose to vilify only your former religion even though there are rotten hypocritical people in every religion. I fully expect you won’t ever be able to get rid of this fixation based on your perceived experiences.
