Gloria in Excelsis Deo

I have always been fascinated by the Mormons.  Partly because when they made their trek west from Kirtland Ohio, their wagon trains came through the little town I grew up in as they made their way to Nauvoo on the banks of the Mississippi  River. I have been to Salt Lake City many times to hear them sing.

The  following video is excerpts from last years Christmas concert with Renee Fleming.  It is in their ten year old, 21,000 seat, conference hall. While their doctrines are just as crazy as Armstrongism's, they do make great music!

Keep the volume down till the ad at the beginning is over, then crank it up. Organ, orchestra, hand-bells galore!

Check out the HighDef picture of the conference hall.  Click on it a couple of times to get it to it's largest state:

The whole televised production with the lily white choir amounts to an expensive, slickly designed ad promoting Mormonism. Like any commercial, it appeals to the eye, ear and heart.

The identical sales trick was used with Armstrong's auditorium, and now Flurry's poisonous cult.

If you notice Flurry's cult college and all the pictures on it, it is all lily white. But then the vast majority of Armstrongism is lily white. Thats all thanks to the British Israel nonsense and it's racist underpinnings.
