Wtf - Mormon apologetic junk mail?

There does appear to be a 4550 Zarahemla Drive:

That doesn't mean that's an actual home address. The homes might be 4544, 4548, 4552, 4556, etc. I've looked up a sight that gives residential addresses, and 4550 isn't on there.

Change is good, especially in Utah. Especially when it pisses off the powers that be at SL Central.

True, but the kind of change I'm having a gut-reaction to is the opposite: it pleaseth the powers that be exceedingly well. It speaks of the making of money, of the blandification of culture and thought, and overall conformity.

I'm reminded of a nice bit from that venerable tome of western wisdom "The Monkey Wrench Gang," where Seldom-Seen Smith explains to some incredulous acquaitances just what "Bishop" means in mormonspeak.

"Why'd you call him Bishop?"

"He's a bishop in the church."

"That man is a bishop? In a church?"

"L.D.S. The Mormon church. We got more bishops than we got saints," Smith grinned. "Why hell, honey, I'd be a bishop myself by now if I'd kept my nose clean and stayed out of Short Crick and Cohabitation Canyon."

"All right, come on," Bonnie said, "talk American."

Hayduke, who'd only been feigning sleep, put in his two cents. "He means if he hadn't been following his cock all over Utah and Arizona he'd have a bishop-prick of his own."

....

...old Bishop Love hates me because last time we locked horns he's the one got throwed. You don't wanna hear about it."

"Probably not," Bonnie said. "So what happened?"

"Just a litte difference of opinion which cost old Love about a million dollars. He wanted a forty-nine year lease on a section of state land overlooking Lake Powell. Hand in mind some kind of tourist development: summer homes, shopping center, airfield and so on. There was a hearing in Salt Lake, and me and some friends talked the Land Commission into blocking the deal. Took a lot of talking but we convinced 'em Love's project was a fraud, which it was, and he ain't forgiven me yet."

"I thought he was a bishop."

"Well that's on Sundays and Wednesday church-study nights only. Rest of the time he's neck deep in real estate, uranium, cattle, oil, gas, tourism, most anything that smells like money. That man can hear a dollar bill drop on a shag rug. Now he's running for the state legislature. We got plenty like him in Utah. They run things. They run things as best they can for God and Jesus, and what them two don't want why fellas like Bishop Love pick up. They say its a mighty convenient arrangement all around. Jesus Saves at eight and a half percent compounded daily, and when they make that last deposit they go straight to heaven. Them and all the ancestors they can dig out of the genealogical libraries. It's enough to make a man want to live forever.."

Hayduke LIVES!

Yeah, that's where i looked. And that's why i think there is no 4550 address. It goes from 4548 to 4552.

[_Blixa]

There appears to be no 4550. The street ends with a turnaround that stops at 4502 (If I recall correctly, its been a long day). The Google Maps map is off because its showing 4550 on the uneven side of the street (unless reality is reversed on Zarahemla Dr. and the streets can suddenly reverse even/odd order. Which I wouldn't put past whoever planned the damn subdivision).

Hope that helps. I'm willing to do more spywork if necessary.

Ok, thanks for your help.

What's wierd, is if someone was just making up some random bullcrap address, how is it so close to an actual address?

Oh well. I guess i'll just wait and see if this coward ever confronts me. And TBMs wonder why exmos can't 'leave the church alone'.

Keeping the house under close surveillance may not be called for if the house does not exist. If so, this might call for Plan B, where you post this picture of Porter and Mercury nearby to let Mr. McConkie know we are on to him:


Porter, Mercury and eternal vigilance

You might also want to click on the satellite button. You can get quite a good view of the house.

You might want to print the picture and mail it to them, with a note saying something like "Boo... I see you...."
For best effect do it with large letters cut out of newspapers or magazines.
