When a Mormon couple is "Sealed in the Temple", during the ceremony, a gloved hand reaches through a curtain & fondles the couple's genitals to "bestow a fertility blessing".
They are also given "Celestial Names". The wife receives hers, the husband receives his & hers, so he can call her to him if he wants to. If he doesn't? She's SOL.
The church said that no colored would ever hold the priesthood, their Prophets & Apostles writing so, up until the point that a church in the south was about to get it's tax-exempt status revoked due to discrimination. The result? GOD HAS SPOKEN TO US! THE COLOREDS HAVE BEEN REDEEMED!
They also set their missionaries out to every library & place where you can find their literature, offered "new copies to replace the old" that conveniently left out the nasty raciss bits.
They really do have a good support for their members who toe the line, but that's just the sugar coated topping that most don't bother to look past. That church is shady as fuck.
And that's not even talking theological discrepancies.

That's hilarious - and totally not true. The church is growing exponentially in Africa. Africans like having a non-paid clergy, made up of volunteers.
