Much less goes wrong with outdoor plumbing. Every 10 years you go did a new hole, and move the shed.
Although when you drop your watch or cel phone in it, it's good bye forever!
At least with a terlit, you stand a chance of fish'n it out of a clean bowl.
Hey! Speak of the Devil....I think I feel a phone in here!

Why wouldn't it? She is a ex-Mormon and is very familiar with the culture.

And they tend to be more patriarchal and more race conscious than most other Christians sects.

Isn't Michigan a country?
I know for a fact it is, USA don't want it and Canada doesn't either so therefore it is it's own country.
Its like Iowa, which stands for "I ought a went around"
No one goes there, ever. :yes: oops I mean :no:
Well, given there aren't a disproportionate number of Mormons who go on shooting rampages, do you think it likely that his religion had much to do with his behavior here?
So far as I've heard, people who go on shooting rampages are disproportionately young, white males. So, it would seem at least slightly more likely that might have had something to do with it than his religion. At least in my opinion, Nymphs.

Not a clue. That's what I'm wondering...thus the thread.
Could be. I've just haven't heard of a Mormon shooter yet, so I'm curious to see if this is a factor or not.

In bits and pieces, but ask me here and I'll write it out if you'd like.

I recall from several decades ago that some rival factions (backing different claimed
new prophets) did some killing. My search abilities aren't up to the task of finding
articles though. But I don't blame the religion for the actions of some crazies.

That was the FLDS and polygamists -- off the top of my head I cannot remember the names and the sects, but it happened several years ago. The FLDS are an offshoot of the main Mormon Church.

It isn't just a conspiracy Kashmir. From the clothing you wear (including underwear at a certain age), to the food you eat (Word of Wisdom -- health code), to the movies, tv and media you partake of, to the things you can and can't do on Sundays, to how you feel about politics, etc. It literally envelops your entire life. There is very little that isn't in the sphere of Mormonism. For those who haven't lived it, many do not understand.
It can be a high-pressure situation for many, especially when teens realize they are GBLTQ and they don't know what to do. While I am NOT saying he was GBLTQ, there may have been something in his life with the pressure of his lifestyle that could have caused him to snap, and I am interested to see if it was something to do with his all encompassing faith/church.
I don't see how being a Mormon means anything. He certainly wasn't representative of Mormons, by any means.
