Subject: RE: BS: Freemasons/mormons,who runs who?
Ah, ya know, the fact that symbols used by Freemasonry are also used on the "Temple Garments" (which are themselves derived from the long underwear worn by 19th C. farmers) of Mormons is not exactly news.

The official name is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints" or, unofficially, the LDS Church or Mormon Church. It's somehow more polite to refer to members of that church as being "LDS" rather than "Mormons" but either is acceptable.

There is also the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which was founded by Emma and Joseph Smith Jr. when Brigham Young grabbed the reins after the "Saints" (as they call themselves) fled Nauvoo. Still a third group split off and settled on Beaver Island, Michigan; the founder of this group grabbed dictatorial power and was finally gunned down by his followers.

The LDS Church is a direct descendant of (and subservient to) the Discalced Knights Templars, which survived by fleeing to North America and are now working hand in glove with the Tri-Lateral Commission and the Moloch Worshippers at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco.
