My conflict comes about because as you state below, they seem to have
excellent family values.

They do have their good points, though. They're really big on family (and
have a lot of really big families!). They also have a church welfare
system
I very much admi they will give aid (food, etc.) to any member that
needs
it at any time..

So, therein lies the dichotomy...good people following a 'religion' that
(IMHO) seems to be founded on fraud...by a dirty old man no less.

Why God wants them to wear burlap underwear I will leave for another
discussion.

That's a new one on me...

And isn't it Ummim and Thummim? It's been a very long time since I left the
church...

Wayyyyyy back when some Americans moved wayyyyyy out West, many of those
women did make clothes for their kids from burlap and flower sacks,
whatever they could find and use.

As I recall, bulky items came wrapped in burlap and flour came in cotton
bags. My mom got our clothes at JC Penney.

Last week, I bought four nice plaid short sleeve shirts and a belt at
the Goodwill store, $3.75 each shirt, $0.75 for the belt.I won't buy a
shirt that doesn't have at least one pocket.I always buy my Dickies work
pants at Wal Mart, the dark blue one because sometimes I ''leak'' a
little bit.

Sometimes you can find some good old radios at Goodwill and other
thriftstores.

of tornados.Winds were estimated up to 167 miles per hour.
