Mormon "prophet" under summons for trial for criminal fraud, could Thomas S. Monson be convicted?

[Phill McKraken]

It would be awesome to see the courts pimp slap the good old boys in SLC. However it is unlikely. The Mormon church has no respect for the law but does know how to manipulate it very well. They have numerous judges, politicians, and people of influence in their ranks. Even more importantly the churches for and non profit side has extremely deep pockets. They never say how deep but then again after watching their behavior regarding prop 8 they seldom spend their money. That is what wealthy parishioners are for. In the past they will prefer to settle out of court rather than deal with public scorn.

I don't know if I believe fully that old Tommy and his cronies fully see thru all of the lies they spread. It should be obvious to them at this point that the founding of the church and the book of mormon are all nonsense. The evidence is too overwhelming. I do believe they think regardless of these facts they somehow serve a greater good. Tommy would gain a marginal amount of my respect if he would do one thing. Admit no god talks directly to him and the entire religion is based on his own personnel ideas of what a bronze age deity would expect of their trained monkeys. My hat is off to you and all the others that walk away from this cult. I have heard it said religions like Mormonism do more for the atheist movement because of their extreme beliefs than more mainstream religions. The best thing I did for myself was walk away.

The Mormon church will eventually fall, it is to obnoxious and silly no to. It just isn't going to happen fast enough. It will also fall on its own sword. All we can do is point, laugh, and petition to keep them in check. In my life I have seen many go up against the churches corporate greed only to walk away silenced by a payout. I have watched "profit after profit" avoid legal prosecution. I am not saying they are above the law but they can afford to strategically act like it.
