You know about that powerful being. The one that knows us. Watches what we do. That’s supposed to listen to our pleas for help. A being who can punish us. Or make our lives better.

There is an Israel Lobby. There I said it. The fact I or other people say that where others can hear cause people to look around and listen for the anti-Semitic alarms to go off. It’s a country and there are people here and living in the Israel who petitions the US Government on behalf [...]

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE and FRONTLINE, presented this documentary about Mormonism a few years ago. I just got the chance to watch it again recently.
