1. not just you. He creeps me out.

But then again, I grew up a non-mormon in a mormon community, and many of the mormon fathers creeped me out, so maybe it's associative for me.

2. Could be - Have you read "Under the Banner of Heaven" -?

True crime story and history of the Mormon Church.

4. I believe that is the book

I read a few months back. He gave a lot of facts about the church-- their numbers are quite surprising.

5. yep. scary tale.

But then again, he creeps out several people I know, so maybe it's not just me.

3. Don't forget - he's the father who hired the creep to work in his home.

I feel compassion for people, but I wouldn't hire a transient to work in my home when I have young children there. Maybe that's just me, but I think I'd just make a donation to charity.
