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.

Research and the Book

My Take

Research shows bias in Women-defenders.

We men have been and still are being discriminated by everyone from religious leaders to politicians; and, worse by the courts of divorce. Professional preachers, especially tell-evangelists, and the media, have been the enemies of the male gender, in top of what we suffer at home. Now, research by a women, brings more light to the nature of women.

Will the bigots repent? I doubt it. That is how they keep themselves from sleeping in the doghouse. By blaming other men for domestic violence, they show their oppressive wives that they are OK; such men have joined the feminist movement in male-bashing.

Bigots have always known the truth; but they did not have much evidence thrown at
them. Thus, biased people kept their crusade. If any man brought up evidence to show that women are culprits of domestic disharmony just like men and sometimes worse, those men who brought evidence, were chided and belittled even by other man; especially those in leadership positions, who benefit from numbers in population.

I had to prove my take on a journalism class in the University of Massachusetts in 1993. After being told that I “was going against the grain”. My bibliography was not enough. I was invited to bring in the research books and professional magazines. I did not see such requirements from other students’ research. I was the only-one who had to bring in the evidence—I am a man; and I was writing about equality on domestic violence.

In that research, I found that married, men have a greater chance of getting killed by their own wives, by 10%; I was threatened my “Ex-wife” while married. Also, I found that women start most of the violence at home. That complimented my own marriage that was in the midst of a divorce. The violent spouse got custody of the children, even after the judge knew that mom (My “EX”), had bitten our four year old daughter in the face.

The book in reference that lead me to write this piece, appears to be obscure to me. I did not yet read the book. I did not see any news about the topic; but the info in the add-info gives enough to know what is in the book. Granted, I sometimes go a few days without checking the news on the WEB; but, I normally surf the news.

However, I have about half dozed of main media publishers, sending me daily headlines. So, this info does not qualify for headlines. Well, it appears to be because the book exposes “women as being like or worse than men”. The major media appears to have disregarded the great book – it exposes feminism’s distortion. I bumped into the book Women's Infidelity by Michelle Langley, in a Google’s ad.

The Reluctant Mormon
By TIMOTHY EGAN

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

My take

Shame on bigotry; TIMOTHY EGAN and some of this article’s commentators should be ashamed of themselves, for exploiting the bigotry trail that suits too many anti-Mormon Americans. If the article was about a Catholic would Egan be bringing out the inquisition. Even if the truth is mentioned, the tone and the implication is what is bias.

While a few Mormon leaders had multiple wives and lived with duty and honesty to each, the secular leaders of this country had and still have concubines or Mistresses—using euphemism for dishonesty and wife cheating and abusing the mistresses. For, such activity is only on the man’s side; but that seems OK to the Mormon haters, and it is never mentioned. Could it be coincidential? I do not believe so.

Why don’t these writers use the same tone for the adultery among the Kennedys and other people of influence? What Egan and other anti-Mormon writers do is exploiting the Mormon issue as if it was unique; but ink is cheap, and another article needs to be published. So, why not at the Mormons’ expense. If people today cold have multiple spouses—for they do have multiple spouses; but it is in an abusive method—“extra-marital affairs”; women would have more self-respect; and honesty would be required.

Nevertheless, today adultery is treated as a normal phase of life. Are any laws passed or enforced on the issue of adultery? I have not heard of it. But when the Mormons had multiple wives by agreement with consideration and respect to all parties, it was outlawed; and it is still treated with disdain. Where is logic? Where is the respect and liberty of the people? Where is the constitutional guaranty of “…happiness for all”? as it is mentioned when we pledge to the flag? A secret-girlfriend (or concubine), is no more than a sex slave. But no one touched nor touches the issue, because it is common among people of diversified religions and secular people. But, Adultery is kind of rare among Mormons. So, who are the abusers?

Yes, Mormons do believe in pre-existence; but is in the bile. Now, which parts of the bible are not convenient to professional preachers? Anyone who deeply studies the bible will see that Mormons do not believe on anything that is not on the bible. Did not Jesus state that those who follow him would be like Him? Some of these ministers better start reading the bible in search of what is there, rather than reading it in search of how they can please their congregation to guaranty another pay check.
