I'm a huge Beck fan, in fact I'm listening right now here
http://www.ksfa860.com/common/gap_streamer.php
but something really confuses me. It takes the ability to use real critical thinking to know what Beck (and most of us know about the state of the country and where we are heading). That is, we have the ability to discover the truth no matter how much the media or conventional wisdom try to hide it. Yet on Mormonism, Beck is cleary wrong. Any Christian knows that the book or momonism is severely flawed and that Joseph Smith was no prophet. How can Beck cut through all the chaff of what is going on in our world and come to the truth and yet believe the writings of Joseph Smith? It doesn't make sense? I'm not saying he's up to something secret, not by any means, it's just that he's so right about so many things and completely wrong on the most important thing. Now, he just said on the air that he believes Jesus is the Savior of the world and that he is Mormon.
I also think that because he is Mormon he is not attacked near as much if he was a Evangelical Bible only believer. Anyway, am I nutz or does Beck being a Mormon seem bizarre?
If you do a search re: LDS farming in Pascal, Wash. You will come up empty, the article you showed is just another media attempt to stir up trouble. Nothing came of it. My father in law has a potatoe farm in Blackfoot, Idaho. He has no knowledge of either problem. The Church does not attempt to bankrupt anybody.
The Church uses volunter labor everywhere and we consider it a privilege. This enables us to put the money to use in the Humanitarian, welfare, education,building, and other programs to help the needy. The Tabernacle Choir is all volunteer, except the director, and has a constant waiting list to join. Choir members love it and consider it a great blessing in their lives. Because of this, The Church has no debt. In the late 1880’s the U.S. government siezed all church property (unconstitutional) and bankrupt the whole organization. The volunteering started early on when money was scarce.

In 1978 California had a ballot initiative called the Briggs Initiative. It called for the firing of any educator who was determined to be "advocating, imposing, encouraging or promoting" homosexuality in the public schools. The initiative received a lot of support until one citizen, a certain Ronald Wilson Reagan, killed it almost singlehandedly. Three years out of the governorship and two years from the Presidential nomination, it could have been political suicide but he did it anyway because he thought it was right.
He could have hid. He could have dodged the issue.
But then he wouldn't have been Ronald Reagan.
Sister Monson refused to move from her home of over 40 years. Presidents usually move across the street from Church headquarters for convenience and safety. Most Presidents are in their 80’s or 90’s, work long hours and travel a lot, the local apartment helps conserve their strength.
We lived in the building for 3 years while we served in The Famiily History Library, it is nice but not posh, the Presidents apartment is about 2400 square feet. Former President Hinckley, before he was President, lived in a home he built personally years ago. We are taught to be a thrifty people.
If you recall from the bible, which we all love, The 12 served without salary, and missionaries served without purse or script. Following the bible is why we, and our missionaries, pay our own way.

2. Sis Munsun disobeyed the “profit”...
3. Sis Munsun wore the pants in the family...
4. Munsun let his unworthy female wife rule in his place in his house and make the decisions...
6. Sis Munsun is the scapegoat for Munsun’s disobedience to the mormon god...
7. Sis Monsoon is scapegoat for something else...
Which of these or other scenerios might be true ???
We know the profit wouldnt have been in error ...

Well that puts a lie to the commandment of Jesus to be servant of all if you want to be the big fish...
And whoever of you will be the most chief, shall be servant of all. Mark 10:44
Convenience ???
Jesus stayed in that inconvenient desert for 40 days...
Never mind I know the answer to this one ...
Munsun never camped out in the desert...inconvenient...uncomfortable...he’s too good a fox to live how Jesus lived...
And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head. Luke 9:58
Safety ??? a need for safety ???
Yes There would be for some old booger who had never relied on the God of the Bible..
There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. Psalm 91:10
You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3
Oh and ah, the term “president” is not in the Christian Bible...
What’s that ???
Munsun is president and CEO of the multi billion dollar mormon corporation ???
OK...that fits...
Most Presidents are in their 80’s or 90’s,
