Concerns about the cleanliness of the water arose over time, including a study by the U. that found copious amounts of bacteria in the water. As baby boomers became older, they began going to places such as movie theaters instead of hot springs. It closed in 1976 because it couldn't draw a big enough crowd to cover its expenses, according to a report on the building by MJSA Architecture and Interior Design. It was used as a storage facility after it closed.
It's this kind of Brigham hatred that makes Six Days in August a vital necessity for believing Saints. See!
Indeed. Mr. Type-B Personality was so laid back over these posters listing the facts about BY's business holdings that he obsessed over it while on vacation at the Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, *and* he went to the trouble of emailing a Mopologist-friendly BY scholar who essentially gave a non-committal response: i.e., "Well, it's really hard to separate BY's wealth from the wealth of the Church...."

Over at SeN, a commenter has posted a list of businesses that Brigham Young owned. Many of them funded with zero interest loans from church tithing money. The proprietor seems a bit blindsided by this, and demanded to know where the list originated. The commenter replied it was from Quinn’s book, which apparently DCP has not taken the time to read.

They forgot Deseret Winery. I will butcher this story, it's been a long time since I read about it. But it goes something like, BY started a winery around St. George, and soon the members down there were drinking up too much profit, so BY ordered them to only bottle by the gallon or keg?, but that soon became a mistake when the members would drink even more. There was a classic remark by one of the members I will have to look for it when I get a chance....
B. Wilson wrote:Why mix personal and church accounts? according to Arrington early church leaders, "skillfully contrived artifices to circumvent confiscatory federal legislation." Given early persecutions of the church, these efforts were justified. Ignoring circumstances is a method to present correct and misleading information.
So, Church leaders deliberately lied in order to cheat the federal government out of money? Okay! This elicits the following response from The Proprietor:
Awww. There ya go again, lettin' cold, hard, dispassionate facts interfere with a good, serviceable slander. Spoken like an economist.
lol….Wut??? Perhaps the Mopologists *still* believe that “skillfully contrived artifices to circumvent confiscatory federal legislation” is the way to go when (e.g.) preparing Interpreter’s tax forms? It would certainly confirm a lot of suspicions and explain how and why someone can afford so many expensive vacations. Quite a telling admission here, I daresay.

LOL. Well, it seems like the modern church has certainly carried the torch Brigham lit, evading taxes, failing to disclose investments, mixing funds between it's various entities in shady or illegal ways but there's a lot of moving parts each with deniability. And yeah, it's no surprise to learn that paying one's fair share is considered anti by church leaders, if it's the corporate church paying rather than individual members. Even the Proprietor has spoken in his libertarian way about taxes being a crime against humanity. And no, this isn't economics, it is accounting and law. Shady accounting and law, of course, practiced by folks of the upmost materialist mindset.
I'm sure if the federal government was really so "anti" that they were ready to seize property, that "Bloody Brigham" putting everything in his name wouldn't deter them, even if it checked some box that filled a formality. Like they wouldn't see through it and find a way around it. Wilson's logic is an awful lot like apologetics we hear justifying polygamy. They had to do it because all these single windows needed to be taken care of financially, or there was a high women-to-man ration, or everyone was getting sealed to everybody to provide for a theological welding link that Malachi talked about.
Religion always has a weak cover story to cover its crimes and violations of human rights that only the leaders and apologists believe.

Dang, that’s true, he had no private jet. Oh wow. Gonna have to rethink my whole picture of Young.
Shoot. I guess he was just an earnest and honest hard-working son of the people, after all, up at dawn to do chores and driving the plow until dark. Yeah, it’s obvious now.
How the heck did I miss this? He had no private jet.
