Looks like the Mormon church is not much different from Scientology:
David Twede, 47, a scientist, novelist, and fifth-generation Mormon, is managing editor of MormonThink.com, an online magazine produced largely by members of the Mormon Church that welcomes scholarly debate about the religion’s history from both critics and true believers.
A Mormon in good standing, Twede has never been disciplined by Latter Day Saints leadership. But it now appears his days as a Mormon may be numbered because of a series of articles he wrote this past week that were critical of Mitt Romney.
On Sunday, Twede says his bishop, stake president, and two church executives brought him into Florida Mormon church offices in Orlando and interrogated him for nearly an hour about his writings, telling him, “Cease and desist, Brother Twede.”
Mormon leaders have scheduled an excommunication “for apostasy” on Sept. 30. A spokesman for the church told The Daily Beast that the church would not be commenting for this story.
L. Ron Hubbard wasn’t the brightest bulb in the pack. Most of his concepts for Scientology were based on Mormon teachings. But being a religion is a fantastic tax dodge.
I can recall some years ago that Hubbard’s ‘philosophy’ was used as a training tool for up-and-coming corporate bosses; I was one of them for a while because the money was such a major draw for a young man with a family. But, after 8-10 years I knew I was being used as a pawn for the wealthy bastards who had ‘indoctrinated’ me to believe that I could never survive outside of the system. I eventually told them to kiss my ass, and that Hubbard and his bullshit teachings could all go to hell…….
And — let me guess — Romney won’t call the bishes and tell them to stop making their fantasy world obvious, because he’s also one cufflink short of a set.
What a crew. Man, what what a crew.
