Ok, that IS creepy. Sounds exactly like what the LDS do. Deseret Book, Deseret Bookstores, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers.
Well over 50% of the media in Utah is controlled by the LDS church.
Try finding a CHRISTIAN bookstore in Utah (they are rare and usually don’t last long).
Even Wal-Mart sells LDS books there.
Sounds like a MISSION field!
