MS Word File Reveals Changes to SCO's Plans

jfruhlinger writes "Ah, the joys of 'track changes' in MS Word: metadata in a document obtained by Cnet reveals some earlier plans by SCO's legal team. Among them: to sue in February (their original target date), to sue Bank of America, to 'impound ... all Linux software products in the custody or control of Defendant through the pendency of these proceedings', and to accuse in court 'Linus Torvalds and/or others' of 'inclusion into one or more distributions of Linux with the copyright management information intentionally removed.' Good stuff." Also, SCO has announced a few new licensees including Computer Associates.

Don't apologize. I've seen 100 (one hundred) MB PP files that should have been just a few MB due to editing.

Frankly, I find all religion to be evil, but the LDS claiming to be a Christian church is really a lie.

If you don't find that page to be convincing, it's pretty easy to find other information by searching for Mormon cult on Google.

um...just for the record:

you're a total nut-job if you thing mormonism is a cult.

Cult:

A religious group that follows a particular theological system. In the context of Christianity it is a group that uses the Bible but distorts the doctrines that affect salvation sufficiently to cause salvation to be unattainable. A few examples of cults are Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, Christadelphians, Unity, Religious Science, TheWay International, and the Moonies.

Which is then followed up:

That is the Christian view based on theology, not reality. A cult is a social structure and while some of the above groups are cults, so are fundamentalist Christians. A group that displays three or more of the following traits would be a cult: 1) Claims of being the only "true faith" while attacking all others. 2) Paranoia such as unfounded claims of persecution, conspiracy theories, etc. 3) Attempts to isolate members from mainstream society. 4) When the group focuses on a few main individuals such as a local preacher regardless of theology. 5) The group controls the personal habits of members to the point of regulating what books to read, what to wear, etc. 6) Rejection of reason. Claims such as we never went to moon, the earth is 6000 years old (all science is a satanic/atheist plot, see #2.), Holocaust denial, etc.

Maybe it's debatable, but they're still wrong if they say they're a "Christian" religion. Also, I like the second definition because it makes almost every religion into a cult. The SBC definitely employs #s 1, 2, and 6. Also possibly #s 3 4 and 5 ;)

However, to stay on thread topic, both of those definitions would classify the Church of JC of LDS as a cult.
