Feb 2012

when we visited. I think there is a Broadway Play running whose theme is Mormanism.

I spent time as a child in Indiana and had a friend who was Morman. I have been a genealogist for over 30 years and have used their records. Not a single person have ever tried to convert me, unlike other Christian sects. So what is the problem? Just because Mormans are outside of what some people consider Christianity?

We have a major problem in this country when you not only have to be Christian, but the RIGHT KIND of Christian.
