Last time, we heard about the largest power in Salt Lake City, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormons. This week we will hear more from these ex-members including a little more about their political power and strategies. They start training their members as early as age 3 to think and behave in the Mormon way while discouraging too much independent thinking.
We will also hear about another area where the church has made a large impact: People around the world often know about the church when there is a natural disaster. Mormons have become a standard presence when people have been harmed by the forces of nature and need money, food, clothing or housing. They use their structure and organization to quickly organize large relief efforts whenever and wherever they are needed.
And please listen all the way to the end to hear a lighter view of Mormon history with a reading of Mark Twain’s essay which gives us a nineteenth century view on the “new” religion.
