It it was somewhere around 1980 ish when the Mormon church was told it would lose their tax exempt status if they didn't allow POC to become members of the church. The night before the deadline the head of the church. The chief prophet, seer and relavator. Had an epithany, a visitation from The Lord giving a reluctant OK. When announced the Flock gathered in the temple to praise The Lord for saving them, again. Funny result, BYU started winning at football and basketball.
So if he got a visitation from the Lord, this must be God. Jerome Kurtz former Commissioner of Internal Revenue
When given a choice between remaining true to their faith or taking the money, the Mormon Church took the money. Anybody surprised?
Our next-door neighbors are two sisters. African-American Mormons. The eldest is in her late 60's, which means she was an adult in her 20's when her church decided people like her were, in fact, humans. Human nature never ceases to amaze me.
Ya loin summat every day. How about this. Mormons were forbidden to drink the devils Coca Cola. Then around the same time period the Church, with an OK from The Lord, became major share holders in Coca Cola. Saved again. Hallelujah.
We lived in Park City Utah in the 80's. skied the winter worked construction when the snow went. The Mormon church wasn't in "Sin City" at that time. One hard thing I learnt was never do business on a handshake with a Mormon. Their bad memory cost me.
Well, The Lord did anoint a certain Orange Orangutan as President, so deciding that Coca-Cola was OK (but not coffee or other caffeine) shouldn't be a surprise. What would be a surprise is if somehow, The Lord retroactively anointed someone else, like that Negro Coloured Moslem who kills babies in his spare time, when he's not wiping his ass with the American Flag.
A good 'woman' friend of ours was excommunicated on her doorstep by 2 Mormon Bishops. Just on the word of her ex husband. Great party that night.
I associate mariachi music with the place where I usually hear it, which is at Mexican restaurants, so I generally associate mariachi music with tasty food, which is why I have a positive opinion of it.
I'm not sure if it's generally know that Mormons have to wear special underwear. Men and women. (My theory is one of Brigham Young's brother in laws owned a textile factory.) Young had 13 wives! One Halloween Party a guest showed up in her underwear with a Bikini over and a Miss Utah Sash. My tennis partner had to go to a special meeting with the Elders to have the underwear restriction on his wife removed. He claimed it was a passion killer. He won. OK, there's lots more but I quit now.
People get charged, convicted and censored often but excommunicated...that's pretty rare. An excommunication certificate would definitely be worth framing and hanging in your office. Certainly better than any stupid diploma.
Then there is the old Mormon joke about what you get when you cross a Mormon with a generic minority whom you wish to disparage? A basement full of stolen groceries. Ha. Ha.
I like this version better: What do you get when you cross a Mormon with a generic minority whom you wish to disparage? Excommunicated.
In our so called democracy that fought to get rid of a king, many people pray and wish for a supernatural king that is supposed to comeback and make everything better. I doubt any holy "all knowing" figure would have need for things like democracy or checks on power.
Every once in a while, I just have to sit back and marvel that this crap is being posted by: 1) a grown man; 2) who is President of the United States of America
Every few years Hollywood put out a picture where an adult changes bodies with a young person usually their child. Right now we are just seeing the dark side of this.
I was thinking that Buttigeig won't get elected. Not because he is gay, not because he is not White, but because he has no baggage and people will no longer trust somebody who has no baggage.
I knew Jehova's Witness who got fired from their job because they adjusted their electric bill...up, a JW stealing.
