The “Lord’s Get Rich Quick” law is similar to the one taught by Mormons:
- Pay tithing, the Lord will bless you
- Be faithful to the church, the Lord will bless you
This get rich quick mentality may explain why the bankruptcy rate in Utah is rapidly increasing: Utah Bankruptcies Soar
A Colorado man filled a Mormon temple hat with helium and let it loose into the atmosphere late last week. The so called “balloon boy” incident wreaked havoc on Colorado airspace causing local airports to re-route and cancel flights.
Many people who viewed the temple hat were strangely moved by the spirit to hunger for jiffy pop popcorn.
Hot Air Temple Hat
No comment from LDS leaders on whether balloon (pun intended) boy will have his temple recommend grounded. This may force the brethren to finally do some thinking outside of the box. Also of concern is that other members may try to get high in the same manner.
No word yet on charges from general authorities, possible violations may include: flying a temple hat without a recommend and perpetrating a hoax against humanity.
LDS Members Special Alert: the anti-Mormons have created a “Mormon Temple Hat-Think Outside the Box” Halloween Costume kit (see below). Do not reward these apostate trick-or-treaters with any candy.
Mormon Temple Hat Halloween Costume
Update: Balloon boy’s mom admits the floating Mormon temple hat was a hoax. At a cost of 2 million dollars (rescue efforts, military choppers), each Colorado taxpayer forks out about 50 cents. I know it was well worth it for me.

Below is an interesting youtube video on how 1/3 of NJ christian evangelicals believe that Obama is the anti-christ. This reminds me of growing up in rural southern Utah, where the same mindset exists with large portions of the LDS population, some examples:
- I had a seminary teacher whose (large) family lived in a truck camper because he thought at any moment the LDS brethren would give the order for Mormons to move to Missouri
- Another seminary teacher would regularly diagram on the chalk board how the final war would be started, where the various armies would meet, and so on.
- World bad news was viewed as good news (the end of times was always right around the corner)
- Similarly (oddly), good news was viewed as bad news
- Mormon neighbors who had underground cement bunkers stocked with ammo, food, iodine tablets, and so on
- Mormon leaders stating it was the last hour, the 59th minute, the last second of time before Christ was coming (every generation has been told this for the last 180 years)
A Mormon leader (Bruce C. Hafen) recently promised gays “If you are faithful, on resurrection morning—and maybe even before then—you will rise with normal attractions for the opposite sex.” Read the article here: Satan Behind Gay Behavior
Do the LDS leaders actually know any gay people? Do they really think that gays just wake up one day and choose to have a same-gender attraction? Apparently so, Elder Hafen states “Having same-gender attraction is NOT in your DNA.”
Perhaps the LDS leaders have a special knowledge of DNA? Maybe drawn from their experience with the Lamanite=American Indian issue? Reference: Lamanites Blossom as the Thorn
In about 50 years from now, expect the inspired LDS prophet to receive a “Homosexual Manifesto” revelation from God that proclaims same-gender attraction is a natural (and positive) variation of human biology.
The Mormon church will further state that any prior statements on homosexuality were simply misguided opinions of LDS leaders from a previous era. Elder Hafen will be panned with the likes of Brigham Young, Joseph Fielding Smith, Bruce R. McConkie, and so on; he was an uninspired and misquoted person, speaking as a man.
Rifqa Bary said that her father threatened to kill her because she converted to a non-Muslim religion: Honor Killing
What would a Mormon family do with a 17 year old that converted to another religion?
a) ostracize them
b) cut them off financially
c) threaten them with eternal damnation
d) don’t mention their name anymore to relatives
e) treat them as if they had died
f) remove them as a facebook friend
g) put their name in the temple prayer hat
What would Jesus do if he had a child that converted to another religion? Would he react like the Muslims? or the Mormons?
What would the Mormon Jesus do: shun, ostracize, ridicule, cajole, avoid...
As reported by National Council of Churches, NCC report, here are the top 4 denominations by membership numbers in the U.S.:
1. Roman Catholic Church, 67,117,06
2. Southern Baptist Convention, 16,266,920
3. United Methodist Church, 7,931,733 4. Mormon, 5,873,408
Compare that to the Pew Forum, reporting affiliation by percentages of adults in the U.S.:
1. Protestant evangelical churches, 26.3%
2. Catholic, 23.9%
3. Protestant mainline, 18.1%
4. No religion, 16.1%
5. Protestant black, 6.9%
6. Jewish, 1.7% 7. Mormon, 1.7%
8. Jehovah’s Witness 0.7%
Another interesting statistic from the Pew Forum Report, it states that only 57% of Mormons believe that the LDS religion is the one true religion. When I used to go to church, it was more like 99% believed that. Did something change?
