Sure was a Las Vegas thing, a minnesota thing and a wisconsin thing, a california thing and I assume a church-wide thing. Stop running to tell everybody all is well in zion, Nehor. It gets tiring having to roll my eyes and shake my head everytime you tell people how normal and benign the church is.
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning

I don't tell people the Church is normal and benign. I can't. I'm part of it. I can tell you that in Texas I haven't seen it and it wasn't present in England when I was there. I also have had people tell me it doesn't go on in Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Ghana.

Yeah, some of the comments were pretty good:
I saw a kid trip on his own feet and he got so frustrated that he tried to bite another kid's leg.
This one time at church basketball my brother of a different mother had his head knocked clean off and he kept playing till the game was over.
We beat them and had ice cream. After that, we took him to Home Depot because it was close and we wanted to get home to watch Wheel of Fortune so we duct taped it back on.
He's okay now.
This one time, . . . we were playing against the democratic minority ploygamist branch and it was a tie. Someone threw some kind of cornflakes cream of mushroom tuna pasta salad with relish and mustard and coconut onto the floor.
Brother Carl Malone stepped on it and fell and broke his cockus bone. We were pretty angry and a fight broke out with the crowd. The police came with their riot gear, dogs and tear gas. People were fighting back with homemade bombs.
After that, refreshments were served and Warren Jeffs gave the closing prayer.
This one time . . . they felt we were being a bit too rough so they made us wear dresses for a game.
A couple of the brothers still wear them now.

I think Nehor's message is all is well outside of Zion.

The definition of Zion is those of one heart and one mind and have no poor among them. Utah fails on all accounts. Utah is NOT Zion. Don't even get me started on how hilarious the term Zion's Bank is.
