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...
