Did a feature on a Mormon couple where the wife ends up dead and the husband is the chief suspect. Lots of talk about personal revelation, temples, etc... Basically ended up being a sleazy MLM type husband who was a serial philanderer and a depressed wife who received commandments from God regarding every step she took in life (many of which, of course, were really crazy). The casual observer will have come away from tonights program thinking Mo's are totally nuts.

Yeah, I watched it for about 2 minutes (I watched it in its entirety when it first aired a while back).

I didn't watch it, but my wife watched it. She already thought Mormons were totally nuts before she watched it, but she said exactly the same thing you did--anyone who watched this would have a really bad impression.That which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C.

I have known Mormons like this. They aren't unique.Originally posted by SteelBlue View PostWhen a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

Surely they are not unique, but would you agree that maybe they represent fewer than 50% or so of all Mormons?Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post

I hope so because it's getting progressively harder and harder to keep up with the Christensenses.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostSurely they are not unique, but would you agree that maybe they represent fewer than 50% or so of all Mormons?Comment

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I heart SU. It's nice to see him upping his game as football season begins.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

I miss SU. Even his crappy posts make me happy. But, when he's golden, it's like the sun is shining on you, just to make you happy and warm.Originally posted by Moliere View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

This is roughly analagous to saying you miss having hemorroids, because even though they hurt when you have them, when they heal up, it makes you feel happy and warm.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Was this the case from Arizona where the guy ran some sort of health center and started banging one of the Mormon secretaries?Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post
If so, the guy was the nutritionist for the Phoenix Suns and used to give presentations to Relief Societies, etc. on nutrition. My SIL claims he tried to hit on her in the parking lot afterward.
Nevermind...yes, it is (google is a beautiful thing).
Yeah, that guy's a creep. His poor wife.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

I just watched it last night. That was the guy. He was banging his 19 year old secretary/employee, when his ex-wife was in the temple receiving a revelation that she was suppose to re-marry this guy. The wife was wack-a-doo crazy and it was pretty obvious that she needed some psychiatric help. He married his secratary three weeks after his wife died. He got 5 years in prison for manslaughter. Sad situation.Originally posted by Green Monstah View Post

Oh shit! I used to work for this guy. No joke.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.
