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."

    PS: Parent: You know nothing of Joseph Smith, Jr.'s background or his descent from the bardic family of Irish Clan King. There's more to the story than fewls like you think...

    And like most other mainstream religions, as time went on Mormonism has tended to shed the most bizarre or "out-there" claims and stick with the basics of preaching their ideas of morality.
    Let me know when they drop all that stuff about Xenu and being descended from crabs and I'll give them a fair hearing.

    No it does not beg the question. Seriously, you'd think that seeing us yell about this every time someone uses that phrase wrong on /. would annoy people enough to just stop using it, but no. ENGLISH IS A LIVING LANGUAGE. Natural languages want to be free! Why must you attempt to throw English into chains and shackles? ;_;

    Then you're too stupid to live. They were talking about special religious clothing, and anyone with the reading comprehension of a dog's ass could follow that.
