Mormon Church Goes After WikiLeaks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the for-once-its-not-the-scientologists dept.

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."

      Step 1: Place stick in water. Leave enough to hold on to with both hands poking out.
      Step 2: Freeze the water.
      Step 3: Push the frozen water uphill with the stick.

      My Dad used to always say "Poking butter up a wildcat's ass"

      I find it gives a good mental picture of difficult, and not worth trying.

    Everyone is trying to limit information on an unlimited information supply. They can't understand what the word unlimited really means. You mean they all work at comcast?

    Interesting, I never thought of the old Egyption religions as pyramid schemes, but I suppose they were the first too.

  5. Mormons Still Practice Plural Marriage by Jizzbug · · Score: 5, Funny

    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]).
