So much for the "sanctity" of THAT Mormon marriage

[_Jonah]

First off, I love screwing with my TBM kids. I have a daughter who is half-way out of the LDS door but can't get completely out because she lives in the Morridor, kids involved in church, uber TBM in-laws, etc. She discovered Rock Waterman's blog a week or two ago and is fascinated by it. When I told her that "Meet the Mormons" was now on streaming Netflix she responded with, "I don't need to watch it. I have met enough Mormons to last me a lifetime." Yeah...she is well on her way out.

I have a son who returned a year ago from his mission. He attends BYU-I. Before he left for school last fall I had a very blunt discussion with him about dating/love/sex. I pleaded with him to try to hold off getting married until he had a degree and employment. I mentioned that I knew he would have a strong desire for sex (I even encouraged him to bang), but to try to keep his eye on the prize (diploma). Fortunately Elohim is helping out having directed him to break up with two girlfriends he prayed about who weren't "the one".

Anyways, like I said, I love to mess with them about the church. Usually I'll send them links of crazy Mormon happenings combined with my own needling comments. Usually they don't respond. Today I sent this link to a news story about a woman in Arizona who was sent to prison for running over her husband in the family car for not voting for Mitt Romney. My comment was, "So much for the "sanctity" of that temple marriage." -

I guess my son couldn't resist and took the bait. He responded with -

"Doesn't say that they were LDS so the assumption that the "sanctity" of the temple marriage cannot be supported."

Poor kid. Here is my response -

"I never assume. I always have proof for everything church related. Here is the gal's profile on Mormon.org's "I'm a Mormon" page - http://www.Mormon.org/me/681k

Will that work for ya? Be careful with that "assumption" and "supported" crap. If you were to apply that same level of scrutinization to your beliefs in the church you might just find yourself walking away from the cult. LOL!!!"

I'm pretty sure he won't be responding. Damn I love messin' with those kids.

why the different Names?

From NEWS Article

Nicole Solomon, of Mesa, pleaded guilty to assault charges for injuring her husband because he neglected to vote in the 2012 presidential election.


From I'm a Mormon

Hi I'm Holly
I grew up in Mesa. I have been a member of the LDS church my whole life. I'm a Mormon.

Oh, the name confirmation is in the Video Nicole Solomon = Holly (Solomon)

[_just me]

Um, the lady who ran her husband over is named Nicole and the lady in the Mormon.org profile is Holly.

What did I miss?

ETA: I got it now.

The picture of Solomon and her husband in this article does not look like the same couple in the I am a Mormon link.

Holly = Nicole

An Arizona woman was sentenced to three and half years in prison on Thursday for running over her husband with the family car because he failed to vote in the 2012 presidential election, court officials said.

Holly Nicole Solomon, 31, pleaded guilty in April to two counts of aggravated assault under a plea agreement with prosecutors over the incident at a parking lot in Gilbert, a south-eastern suburb of Phoenix.

Police said Solomon was upset with her husband, Daniel Solomon, in the days following the 6 November re-election of President Barack Obama and believed the family would face hardship from his winning another term in office.

Her "calling" is nursery?

This is the part that gets me:

In one sentence she displays both arrogance and ignorance. 'Merica!

"Republican challenger Mitt Romney won Arizona's 11 electoral votes"

If her husband in Arizona did end up voting for Romney, it would have absolutely not done anything in helping Romney win since he did win all of Arizona's 11 electoral votes anyway. So Solomon running down her husband was all for absolutely nothing.
