Malls and movie sets: Your tithing dollars hard at work

Post by _hugh jass »

The mega-mo'mall is still not complete, at a cost to LDS Inc of four billion?

Next up a massive movie set to attract more unwitting new members:

Interesting. They are recreating the Holy Land in America for a film about the life of Jesus. Why don't they just film the story of Jesus in America. They wouldn't have to recreate anything. Or don't they think that will sell?

Perhaps because they don't want to be pinned down.

"Jesus visited the people of the Americas somewhere between the Northern border of the US and Argentina", is about all we can expect from them.

LOL

Because nobody except Mormons would give a crap. Nobody but the Mormons believe that white Jewish people sailed in over sized dishes with holes in them to America, wrote on gold plates, had wheat, barley, bees, steel, elephants, horses, chariots - and more - ONLY to have all of it wiped out by this same white Jesus - to test the faith of the Mormons.

Mormonism is nothing more than a bunch of feel good movies, special effects with nipple bursting holy ghostness, and all the while underneath it is a grubby perverted hand groping corporation selling Jesus for cash.

She was smart enough to show Elder Oaks the door, so maybe we should be admiring, instead of ridiculing?

Sherri showed Oaks what door? When was this?

A single unwed WOMAN telling the mighty MAN of god what to do??

right... In Mormon heaven he WILL be a god. She and all other women will only be one of many wives to a man.

After his first wife passed away, he dated Sherri Dew for a while, but she didn't want to be "second", so that was the end of that.

Oh my.

Seriously, can you even imagine what that would be like?? Holy crap talk about a very sterile conversation!!. They probably had to date in a hospital operating room.

Great idea for a new reality TV show.. General Authority Bachelor...

If the church really wanted to cash in, they'd make a mo-themed porno. That way, Utahians can have their church and porn fixes at the same time. Great for the bottom line.

Possible titles:

- Pearls of Great Price (something about male hookers)
- The Not So Immaculate Conception
- Parting the Red Sea (I'm sure there's a demographic for this kind of thing)
- Wives, Wives, and More Wives!
- The Burning Bush and the Flaming Sword (They could try to make a thriller out of that one)
- I Like Your Fanny Alger
- Digging for Treasure (in all the wrong places)
- We Like to Brig'em Young
- Coveting Her Ass
- I Thought She Was Older
- Jonah and the Whale (I'm sure there's a demographic for this kind of thing)
- The Suffering of Job (both hand and blow)
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
