Some Mormons Search the Web and Find Doubt

Meet the man, the myth, the macker ... RickStain.

 

He did it.

 

You don't need to go into a Mormon temple to find out what the church is about. There are plenty of chapels in most cities in the US...with a sign that states "visitors welcome." You can go in there and find out anything you want to know.

 

Yeah. Or talk to missionaries and/or church members.

 

Or you can just google "Inside a Mormon temple"

 

But there's the rub...google anything about "Mormon" and the results are less than supportive, judging from the original post.

 

L. Ron Hubbard thinks Joseph Smith is a pussy

 

But where would I find them? It's not like they're just going to drop by my house. Geez, you'd think they were just out there going door-to-door or something.

 

I used to think polygamy was a cool idea and having a harem of wives would be great. Then I got married and realized those guys are insane. Hell, it's hard enough to deal with one wife!

 

That's one of the oldest jokes in the book:

What's the penalty for bigamy?
Two wives.


Groucho Marx had a variant of it in Animal Crackers when Capt. Spaulding proposes marriage to two (very rich) ladies at once. Mrs. Rittenhouse indignantly tells him, "Why, captain, that's bigamy!" Groucho's reply is something like: "Big of you? It's big of me to put up with the two of you!"

 

I would agree, except that Scientology hasn't gotten to the level of mainstream acceptance that the Mormon church has achieved. I mean, it's hard to find a "church" of Scientology anywhere outside large metropolitan areas, but there are two Mormon churches in the Southern town where I live.
