^Heh, The Church of Latter Day Saints is fucking loaded man. All Mormons are required to pay a % of their income to the church.

I just went to Salt Lake City last month and their organization is run like a corporation. They've got a huge shiny office building in the middle of SLC, not to mention they own blocks of the downtown core. Their Temple Square is like a Mormon theme park where girls (yes all teenage - 20ish girls) stand around and strike up conversations with anyone that walks by.

We took a 1/2 hour tour of Brigham Young's house with a two of these guides - one was from Korea and the other from Virginia. At the end of the tour they did the hard sell with Mormonism and offered us a free Book of Mormon. We just said...err no thanks we don't believe in God and headed out on our way.

A bit scary but mostly harmless as far as I can tell. Most of them are just young and impressionable I suppose.


Many of the ones in Vancouver I think are Jehovah's Witnesses...not the same as Mormons
