But.... He IS right.

Oh yes another interesting history of their formation and growth, and
those strange beliefs sort of mingled religioisity and their own Bible,
written apparently on tablets of gold.
Then there are the visits by bicycle, like they are doing a census or
something.
Have not seen them for a while.

They do, however, have an impressive obsession with family genealogy
and maintain what I believe is the world's most complete ancestral
family histories cache -- in a nuke-proof underground storage facility.
They also have many supplies stored underground to live out a sustained
nuke war. Once reviled by many Christians, the Mormons have survived to
become a powerful American 'cult' worth billions, and commercially
influential.They're prepping Gov. Mitt Romney, R-MASS., to be the
first serious Mormon presidential candidate! Always neat in appearance
when door canvasing, usually dressed in suits and ties, and very
polite, but 'quietly aggressive.' Not the firebrands like Pentecosts
and JW's, but close to it. They believe Jesus walked the American
continent, and the Angel Moroni told Joseph Smith where the gold
doctrinal tablets were (that started the whole cult rolling). Polygamy
was common, and if practiced today, many would have been labeled
pedophiles for taking wives barely in their teens, and, in some cases,
not in their teens. Multiplying like rabbits, the Mormons spread out
from Utah and are now everywhere, and own many major media venues. I
knew a lot of 'em as a grew up and they tried to get me to join 'em
more than a few times...very smooth approach, I have to admit, that is
less intrusive than the JW recruiting process...but still not entirely
honest or pleasant, either.
