My hats off to you on these 3 videos. Absolutely golden. I am now testing a new mobile guillotine that can be carried and operated by 1-2 people. Meet me in NY. We have work to do.

I'm drunk as fuck, and all I can say is, fuck a bunch of Glenn Beck. Him and Garth Brooks both remind me of Elmer Fudd.

I do commend him for making it through the discussion without advocating for the overthrow of the government or bursting into tears.

I listened to Glenn in when he started in Tampa. He was a good bit different from his current dysfunctional FoxTV persona... just as irrational but more in a Dr. Phil way.
"God stalked me!...He had a giant baptismal rifle," Beck said. "I thwarted him. I led people astray as much as I could, but he kept putting Mormons in my way."

It wasn't God.

The boring cult has backed off for now. I pretty much threatened my old business partner to tell his bishop about his many transgressions from the gospel if he didn't call off the troops.
The deal with them is they look first at the potential tithing dollars from any given potential convert. They are directed to focus more on business people and professionals than poor widows and the chronically unemployed and/or disabled people. And to give them credit due, they REALLLLY focused on us.
It seems like a losing battle for them, because any person who is used to doing due diligence (like educated people with an internet connection) isn't going to give them the time of day. Conversions like Glenn Beck and my old business partner must be great victories for them, but I maintain that any person who consciously decides to join the Mormon religion is a few fries short of the proverbial Happy Meal.

If I'm gonna join and give mah hard earned dollars to a cult, there needs to be a lot more sex and marijuana involved.

So I assume that since he's now your "old" business partner that your dealings with him have suffered from all this?
Fuck, this is why you don't mix religion and... well... anything.

When all the booga booga surrounding every religion is boiled down, it always comes down to some holy script. The Book of Mormon is a complete fraud. Supposedly written on gold tablets and found by Joseph Smith, requires Mormons to store all their excess goods in Joe Smith's barn. Even today's Mormons admit that Smith probably wrote the book, but claim his hand was guided by the Devine. Well, if Smith lied about where he got the book, there's a pretty good chance the whole thing is bullshit. Yet, despite this, Mormons continue to "believe". This even though they have nothing on which to base their faith. The Bible is not much different. It is so obviously a carrot and stick approach to keeping the flock together and not the work of a loving god, that it amazes me that intelligent people still line up to give its interpreters money.

From what I understand, many Mormons stay with the church even though they know it’s full of shit because their family members and lifelong friends are members. To do otherwise would result in loss of family and friends; it also means stepping into the void and determining for themselves who they want to be. In effect, being Mormon has some aspects of being a cultural identity, and being stripped of that is a disturbing experience that many people are unable to handle.

This is 100% true.
Say, a poor couple walks in to the Mormon church and wants to join. Sure, they can join all they want, but they will get little attention and would almost feel shunned.
On the flip side, say a wealthy business owner and his/her spouse walk in. They will get the full-court press. The church isn't even shy about this. This is why, pound for pound, they are the wealthiest church in the world.

Funny you should say full-court press. Their meeting house doubles as a basketball court, and there are basketball hoops retracted into the rafters.
