Interesting....Glenn Beck turned to an organization that provided him with the discipline to conquer his alcohol abuse by infusing that goal with a religious purpose.
My early experience with the Mormon mishies was their attempt to convert me when I was on my way to Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. Said the magic garmies would protect me in a postcrash fire. My current interest in LDS is exploring the many unkind things their doctrinal authorities say about the Catholic Church which IMO is based upon sheer envy of Rome’s wealth & influence.
But your observation has me rethinking my view of GB. He rarely makes direct mention of the Mormon church & `food insurance’ seems to be the nearest thing to Mormon teachings which he promotes.
Maybe Glenn doesn’t go in for all the stuff about Jewish Indians, lack of archeological evidence, polygamy, star Kolob, or prophets named Alma, Ether, & Mosiah.
Beck plays the game, he will deliver as much Mormonism as his audience will tolerate, Mormons are taught how to work on people and overcome their defenses, Mormons are even taught to lie and to conceal Mormon teachings and to let them out in stages, "milk before meat" they call it.
Mormons first want you to think that they are one of you, Christian, they speak of Jesus etc., the goal is to string you along, to pull you in without triggering your defensive response, or shock, or revulsion.
Even within the religion, the people are separated, regular Mormons are forbidden to worship and witness the secrets and ceremonies that the elite Mormons attend and perform in those grand temples. An annual ID card is issued to those who pay 10% of their verified income and who must pass an interview every two years, to use those temples and to know what happens inside.
Here is Beck's book on Mormonism-- http://www.amazon.com/movies-tv/dp/B001EVKWLQ
Beck does promote Mormonism on his show, for example here-- http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/09/06/polygamy-magic-underwear-people-on-bikes-glenn-discusses-mormon-myths-in-theblaze-tv-special/
Showbiz attracts all denominations. The Vegas- Howard Hughes maintainers (dubbed the mormon mafia) were all... Mormons and connected in Nevada machine politics (as vs. the mob). Of course Hughes was a paranoid obssessive compulsive at that point, and was monitored by domestic company (see aye heyyyy)types like his vegas business manager Robert Maheu, who was a catholic.
Disturbing that any denom has weaseled into our gov, especially the muzzies, who have bought their way in courtesy of the saudis. Appalling really what turds our public servants(slaves) are to the nickels they must lap up. Lap dogs, liars, rinos, dinos, and all else.
