Hmm, a family using tax exemption to further a business shrouded in "Non-profit" status. Where have we heard this before?

Bring on the naysayers who give lame examples of similar but equally fraudulent models.

The Church is nothing like this because their businesses ARE taxed.

However, don't let a little thing like that disrupt your inane rant. Bring on talk of it's evil nepotism and profit sharing. Don't let the lack of substantiation for any of this deter you. Fight the good fight.

Oh wow, you are still here. lets do the easy thing and tell you to “F” off. Its what you want to hear, so there you go.

Ha. Wicked awesome.

One thing Ikea has in common with the Church is that wherever you go, it's all the same. I have been to the Ikea store in Oslo and in Draper. I think we were on Joseph Smith and Zion's camp. No wait, that might have been something else. I am so confused now.

Better yet, here is an apt quote that can be directed at you:

another common thread: Adherents of Mormonism are given a "flat-pack" gospel and expected to construct rationalization for belief on their own.

OK, its a stretch.

At least with Ikea, you can have a beer, go boating on sundays, have sexual relations with your significant, non-married other, and you won't get fired until you can prove yourself "worthy".

Thanks, but actually I was hoping for someone to notice how inane your comparison was. Unfortunately, only the dimmest bulbs on the board have shown up on your side and you're doing the High-School insult/circle-jerk game.

I'll leave you to it then.

What? Sorry, I was busy trying to get this stupid Z12 slot to find the Z12-A King Follett.

So who's usually on top, you or Will?
