I got some nice comments and some expected flames from my previous post. So-called Mormons on DKos have supposedly denounced me, rather how the votaries of L. Ron Hubbard denounced people back in the days of USEnet.
I do know about the endowments, which are supersecret among good Mormons, but have been leaked by bad Mormons, and a few jack-Mormons. Yes, young teen boy Mormons get their penises fondled during their endowments; this is rather like where the H.M. the Queen had her nipples annointed during her Coronation, the one spot where the color coverage of the ceremony was not filmed. Queen Elizabeth II only had her nipples annointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury (rather publically in fact, even tho' there is no filmed coverage -- see how her father's nipples were annointed -- the BW film covers it). Mormon boys get served by men interested in early teen penis. Mitt Romney had his teen-penis fondled, and Mitt Romney needs to be chased by this.
Yes, Warren Jeffs has been convicted of child rape. He's not a typical Mormon. But Elizabeth Swift is, and she is a tragedy of her Religion.
Utah makes marriage legal at 14. Which means it's ok to have male-on-male sex with a boy of 14 (and so the Supremes will decide). Utah is pervert territory, but then, so is the Netherlands, where 14 years is the adviséd age of consent. Maybe Utah and the Netherlands have a understanding of sexuality that most other civilized regimes do not.
I do not claim to know every crackpot thing the Mormons believe, but believing that Joseph Smith, Jr. received divine relavation is not something any real DKos-person believes, and in fact, utterly rejects, along with such things as Papal Infallibility or that the end of the World is commencing in Heaven, as the Jehovah's Witnesses believe.
I'm bad at tags. Age of consent should be another.
