Is that a baptismal pool or a jacuzzi? Or both? I'd really like to know.

WOWZER!!! That's a temple that would make Tammy Faye, Paul and Jan Crouch, Benny Hinn, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart and many others drool.

Most Mormoms I've met seem to be good people --- but I find their beliefs nuttier than squirrel poop --- and I'm not referring to the multiple wives matter --- in fact, that's probably the only thing that would attract me ;)

You may or may not be aware of this but there are many groups that employ the Bible that are not considered to be Christian by the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church --- and Mormon's are among them.

Today is Great and Holy Friday for Orthodox Christians:

Well said.

25 years ago i conducted a week long Family Therapy training in Salt Lake City for for a group of 15 practicing counselors/therapists.

In the course of a role-played individual session with "Susan", a 24 yr.old single woman, daughter of a Mormon Bishop, the two female, Mormon, co-therapist participants got absolutely stuck....when "Susan" coughed up the fact that her father had been sexually abusing her since age 12 (based on an actual case).

My co-trainer and I had to stop the role play to process what was going on with the two seemingly competent, bright co-therapists.

Their focus:

a) If "Susan" were to directly confront the incest, come Judgment Day, she would be in deep dodo, since it would be her father's decision, as the patriarch, to "call" her (as an unmarried female, over to Heaven.

and

b) As she had just become engaged to a good Morman boy, what in the world could she do ref. the eventual wedding since, as a non-virgin, she couldn't be allowed to marry in the Temple.

Any questions?
