Mormon Church Goes After WikiLeaks
An anonymous reader writes "The Mormon Church has instructed its lawyers to gag the Internet over WikiLeaks' release of the 1968 and 1999 versions of its confidential handbook for Church leaders. Apart from attacking WikiLeaks, legal demands were sent to Jimmy Wales of the WikiMedia foundation for a WikiNews article merely linking to the material, and scribd.com has also been censored. WikiLeaks has (of course) refused to remove the documents."
That would be as easy as pushing water uphill with a sharp stick :-)
If I had an Ass, I'd call it Fanny Bottom, then I could slap my Ass; Fanny Bottom, on the Arse.

Something is very wrong with you!

Interesting, I never thought of the old Egyption religions as pyramid schemes, but I suppose they were the first too.
Excuse me, but please get off my Pennisetum Clandestinum, eh!
Unless they actually wanted 1000's of unconverted heathens to download and read the document in the hope that a few might be converted.
A weird kind of inverse spam :
What else would cause 1000's of geeks and nerds to actively seek out and read a church document.
"You guys are christian, right? So forgive me."
Power corrupts. Absolute power...is even more fun.
It's quite easy, if you freeze the water into the shape of a wheel and put the sharp stick through the middle.

I goto FOSS church every Sunday(LUGs), I read the good book (slashdot), I even witness to the heathen unIntelligent Design followers. I voted for Al Gore damn it! Now you just take your Microsoft loving notions of tolerance and move along! If I don't do it or believe it or like it, then I just know its as evil as Windows, let me get an amen!
If you have no theology then nothing is a cult, if you do then LDS is a wierd cult. Salvation through geneology, weird underpants, 'secret meetings'...
Ask your Super Daddy in the Sky to send me back in time. I mean, wow, if he can create the universe... certainly he can send me back in time!

As opposed to "non-elective" transsexual surgery?
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
I downloaded the PDF and sent it back to them - problem resolved.

Nah. Religion is a rootkit. Once you get it installed, it prevents you from seeing certain files in your filesystem or inspecting certain processes, but your CPU otherwise works normally.

Hm-m-m. Responds to cited source with ad hominum attack. Persuasive? I think not.
I was taught to respect my elders. The trouble is, it's getting harder and harder to find some.
Also, most Mormons (myself included) believe that the practice of plural marriage will be re-instituted prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (some suspect it will be re-instituted after the collapse of the U.S. economy, when the Saints are called to gather in Zion: Jackson County, Missouri [Kansas City]).

Because their mythology is ridiculous and easily disproved.
From the article, "WikiLeaks will remain a place where people from around the world can safely reveal the truth."
So as a Mormon I get a warm feeling when I see WikiLeaks equating the church handbook of instructions with truth!
It's slightly awkward watching a pagan chew jesus up without knowing it. Some might say there's a lack of propriety in such an act. Sort of like sneaking veal into a vegan's tofu burger. Not to mention, jesus has to sit around in some unbeliever's gut for a day or two. He has better things to do. Just bring your own Spaghetti or Unicorn Flakes to mass if you want to participate.
Man, leave it to the Catholics to attach a EULA to the Eucharist.
I am not a crackpot.
