Default Wow

Just found out that a member of an old ward of ours embezzled nearly $3 million from his company and is about to be sentenced in federal court. During the years that he was defrauding his company, he was EQ pres, YM pres, and High Councilman. Seemed like a straight arrow sort of guy. Guess appearances are deceiving...

But did he drink beer or coffee? If not, I'm sure he attended church each week with a clear conscience.

That's funny as Marsupial and I were saying that he would probably never consider drinking coffee or doing other mundane sins. I guess if you're going to go out, go out big.

Is he a homosexual? Prison affection may be easier to accept if he is.

Sorry, wrong thread.

It is all about making money--and if you get caught committing crimes to get it, oh well. You should have stuck to decieving stupid desperate poeple trying to get them to join your multilevel marketing company. That's not illegal.
What a steaming pile of shit.

It's from all those BoM stories where God prospered the righteous. Now, if you don't have money, then that must mean God isn't blessing you. And if God isn't blessing you with cash, the next best thing you can do is to go out and get an Escalade or a Hummer. That way others will at least THINK you're tight with God. No doubt about it...Mormons love the money.
