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.

About Anti-Communism
Response to a comment on FaceBook
Are you talking about communist? The problem with the so called communism is that it is dominated by atheist, and fascists, just like capitalism is. The problem is not the labeled party, rather the problem is the tyranny behind it classist rulers.
Remember that it was capitalism that made a run on American jobs.
It was the boys and girls behind the mahogany desks making millions of dollars, who took the jobs away from the American people. So they could make more millions at the expense of the lower class. Speaking for myself, I was the victim of five shut-downs plus downsizings due to jobs moving overseas.
On my last shut-down, there was a guy who had moved his family across country three times in the hope to secure a job. Hurray for capitalism—hahahahah…
Che Guevara was and is the hero of the Latinos. He was not a lower class ignorant like many of us, he was a doctor fighting against capitalism. So was Ho Chi-Men.
See, there are two great evils. One such evil is called Stalinism or Marxism, which is an excuse for oppression as it was in the Soviet Union.
Remember that Europe and the US supported dictators and oppressors using the same tactics as the Soviets did. The only difference is that the tyrants on the west supported capitalism.
As an example: Brazil’s oppression was not different from Cuba. But in the west we only heard about the oppression about in Cuba and in the Eastern-Block nations. Portugal’s tyranny was not different from any Eastern-Block nation. Yet we only heard on western journalism, how bad it was on the Soviet ideology, and the long lines at stores and banks.
That is only because it was convenient for our media to paint our tyrants as better than their tyrants. We all saw in the news about the long lines at the stores in the Soviet Union. The same news media could also say that it was like in Brazil where going to the bank is still an adventure.
First you wait in line for an hour or better to make an appointment to cash a check; and then, you wait another hour in line while—if you lucky, be moving from seat to seat until your number is called about an hour later. Should we say that the other evil is Sovietized Capitalism?
Waiting on lines; some people in Brazil know that they will be at least two hours in the bank to do their business. But it was never heard of the American media to talk about such lines; but we do hear about such lines about communist countries.
Communism is not bad, if it was bad Jesus would not want us to have things in common, as it was in the primitive Christian Church. Rather, what is bad is Marxism philosophy to use force as a means of equality—thievery.
It is the oppressors within the so called communist systems that make communism look bad. In the end, as long as any government is run by humans, such government will be corrupt. Whether it be communism or capitalism it is all the same. Marxism is an atheist machine; but so is capitalism.
Now, we cannot mention God in our schools. I had to fight to help my son pass cards about the resurrection of Christ in his class, yet eggs which is definitely a pagan ritual, is part of the school systems. So who is who? Who are the anti-God crowd? By euphemism the capitalists say “In God we trust”, while not allowing you to practice Christianity.
In communism countries,they are not bias about religion. They measure it all the same, because of so much corruption within the professional-false religions.
So, please don’t knock down other people’s trees without checking their fruit, and their roots; it is the same as your special tree.

Media Gender-Bias
Referennce to:
NBC News
http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Woman-Beaten-for-Saving-Parking-Spot-in-East-Village-117397173.html

My Comment
If the genders were reversed in the women preventing a driver to park and assaulting the driver, the headlines would be different. Let’s follow the sequence that was reported in reverse. A woman decides that nobody can park unless her boyfriend is assured the spot, but the boy friend is not there with the vehicle.
She stands abstruding proper use of the parking lot, to reserve it for her boyfriend. Another driver arrives and wants to park; but the women without any right or authority tries to stop the rightful driver-by-time of arrival from parking.
It appears that, they argue and she violently assaults him leaving him marks--according to is lawyer. In reaction he punches her leaving her unconscious. He is still probably under the shock of what happens and goes home. He gets arrested, but the women who started aggression is made the victim. Typical American a mantra "poor woman."
Women are used beat and kill men and then get away with it; so, when a man defends himself from women, it is called agression. When are the feminists going to follow the golden rule? Never, as long as our laws are biased against the male gender.
The law of violence says that the person who starts violence deserves to get beat. If she started the fight; she got what any other aggressor gets.
We can see the media spinning for feminism. That is the core of the problem, media-bias and corrupted courts supporting women’s violence. In this case, if the gender would have been reversed, the media would be hailing the woman as a hero for defending herself. But, In this case, the man defending himself is seen as the aggressor. Oscar Fuller will not get a fair trial on this because he is a man.
