Maybe, but that choir! Simply marvelous.

I'll take the Mormon Tabernacle Choir over gangsta rap any day.

My concerns with mormonism stems from stories my grandpa in law used to tell about way back when he used to drive an oil/fuel delivery truck in southern Idaho. He said that once the mormons reached a majority in a small town they would basically take over everything. He would be told that his services were no longer required since he was a protestant - and the business would go to a mormon.

I certrainly could not verify his stories but he always came across as an honest, sober man. It's an expansionist organization.

Always remember that when those nice looking young mean in white shirts and ties show up at your door - the end game is that they want 10% of your income for life.

Had your grandfather been a Mormon who decided to leave the church, he would have found himself without a job (assuming that he worked at one of the many Mormon member-owned businesses), a wife, a family and definitely without friends (most Mormons primarily associate with other Mormons from their Ward, their neighborhood and/or job.)

All of that ends when they leave the church and other Mormons are told to disassociate themselves with those who do.

FRs don't have to believe what I say but I know far too many former Mormons who have basically found their entire social network gone after stepping away from their church. It is one of the things that keeps many Mormons who might think about leaving, they know that the life and family that they now have will be gone.
