The Mormons have have a more independant culture then most religions
do. They have also had the government on their backs since the
nation was founded. One thing about mormons, they just want to be
left alone to do their thing, and not bother anyone. At least they
are not knocking on my door trying to push literature or to get
me to join their church. They will fight to maintain their faith.
