I'm not going again if they own it!

I've never been to a strip club in NYC.

(But now you have me intrigued...)

It's of course illegal but some VIPs were involved, as some of the girls filed harassment suits.

:rofl:

Besides, there is nothing in particular to own here:

Services and Amenities

* No lifeguards
* No facilities
* No fresh water
* Sandy beach

I want to starve the Mormons of cash as much as anyone else, but I'm wondering how exactly a beach in Oahu can be an LDS business.

A client I did some work for is a certain hotel chain starting with an "O" and their hotel names are just like that.

Named after the beach. It's pretty common on these islands.

The entire nearby town of Laie appears to be Mormon owned and operated, so chances are that if you visit the park you will spend money at a Mormon business.

Thank you

Lots of fingers in lots of business pies. And lots of strongarm tactics and money laundering and tax evasion.

I heard when we lived in UT n the early 70s that the reason the head guy had a revelation that it was ok to consume Coca Cola (forbidden for decades) was the church had found it to be a rather lucrative investment. Pepsi, in which they had no investment, was still not ok to drink.

The Marriott Hotel chain.

I love Moab.

They were in the hall with a table of crap. Two large guys in suits tried to buttonhole me on the way out to look at the literature.

Remind me to NEVER patronize any of the businesses you've listed above.

I just read an article over at Market Oracle, the author also mentioned that the Moron Church owns Amway, and I believe Primerica (both skams). The article is about pyramid schemes.

(sorry can't find link, but it was at
www.marketoracle.co.uk/

The Mormons are skammers, complete business frauds. They just use their tax-free status as a business freebie.

in Nevada, a lot of it is in Las Vegas. Also, aren't they behind the Marriott hotel chain? Or, have they gotten out of those businesses.
