Anti-Mormon Insults, or Cheap Journalism.

Father, Son Used Mormon Faith To Lure Investors In $220M Ponzi Scheme, SEC Says

MY TAKE

It is a shame that the Forbes editors and Halah Touryalai as well as Google are showing their true colors in cheap writing by implying bigotry or anti-Mormon sentiment.

My E-mail headline notice is: “Mormons Duped Investors Out Of $220 Million In Ponzi Scheme, SEC Says.” My first reaction was: I never duped anyone, why am I being falsely accused? Thinking back about Madoffs’ (perhaps father and sons) news, never did I read anything like “Jew or Jews duped investor out of billions.” Because religion is a sensitive issue, and accusing all Jews of one person’s crime would definitely get lots of journalists and editors fired; and it would be rightly done.

However, the same justice was not done by Forbes, nor Halah Touryalai, even less by the Google editors who send E-mail notices.

Halah Touryalai’s headline: “Two members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are being charged by the SEC with securities fraud.” Halah is smarter the writing the same headline and replacing the words Mormons by Jews – in Madoff’s case. What the headline is showing is simply anti-Mormon feelings. In all the news, I never noticed the word synagogue or Jewish, associated with Madoff. Likewise, I expect the same professionalism when the issue involves my religion.

Crooks are everywhere, Jesus’ twelve apostles had one crook among them, and He knew it. Crooks have not respect for religion, political party or ethnic background; why than bring religion into the news when the problem was money. I would see it appropriate to even mention religion to show the extent of the fraudulent people; but including a blanket over a religion is unacceptable.

I, being a convert to the LDS church, thus nicknamed “Mormon”, demand an apology from each of the culprits in this insult. For, as stated above, I never duped anyone, nor do I deal dishonestly with anyone. Shame on Forbes, and on Halah, and on Google.

Forgery for Birth Certificates

Transgender New Yorkers sue over birth certificates

-------------------------------------

My Commnet
The public needs to be protected. If BCs area altered, afterwards, people will sue the government for the allowing altered birth certificates which will lead to people marrying the wrong gender biologically.


Marriage requires openness. Once changed in the birth certificate, innocent people who expect to marry a person of the other gender will be getting a fraudulent marriage and unable to have children, because of biologically-fraud records. There are limits. People may choose, but one’s choices cannot deceive innocent people.


The only option remaining for the public to know whom a person will marry will depend on blood tests. Therefore, blood tests for marriage should be standard, as it was in some places.
