Mormonism?

Hearing the words Mormon, Alex's attention was highly focused.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Is it possible...... Hughes wants to pull me into the church? ”

This idea was not unfounded, and in recent years he had heard that Hughes had been surrounded by Mormon people and that he was close to Mormonism. It is already rumored that Hughes joined the Mormon Church and became a very important follower.

Mormonism is no different from a cult in the eyes of many people, after all, the rules of "polygamy" and "isolation" are very eye-catching. In fact, these are all hearsay, and none of them are objective evaluations made after a comprehensive and in-depth understanding.

Mormon was founded in the 1830s, initially by a man named Joseph Smith near New York, and then the church went through several twists and turns, and finally took root in Salt Lake City, Utah, where Salt Lake City is now the headquarters and base camp of the Mormon Church, and 60% of the city's population is Mormons. The Mormon Church places great emphasis on education and publicity, and spares no effort to raise its adherents into the elite of society.

"Mormonism" is not actually the official name of the church, but rather "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." The concept of "late-stage" refers to the fact that we are in the "countdown" of the imminent return of Jesus Christ.

Mormons also believe in God, Jesus, and the Bible, just like ordinary Christians, except that they also hold up another book as a classic, the Book of Mormon. "Mormon" is really just the name of an ancient prophet who recorded and compiled some ancient events related to Jesus Christ on the American continent. The bound book is the Book of Mormon.

When Alex learned that Hughes might be a Mormon, he looked for some information to find out. But if you want him to join this church, that's really unlikely. He thought for a moment and said to Hughes, "How many wives can Mormons take now?" I know that you only have one wife, do you want to take more? ”

Hughes was amused by Alex's question, and almost choked on coffee: "You, you are really too many people ask this kind of question, but in fact, things are not what you think." ”

So Hughes explained to him in detail some things about Mormonism, especially about polygamy, and he explained the ins and outs of it very clearly.

Back in 1890, because Utah wanted to fight for the status of an independent state in the United States. The Mormon congregation officially renounced polygamy. Polygamy has always been the greatest obstacle to opposition from other civilizations.

The patriarchs of the time were very vague in their manifesto, not that they did not think that polygamy was wrong, but only that any polygamous marriage would no longer be recognized. To this day, because of what the Mormon Bible teaches. There are also many people who believe that this kind of family is eternal. Although polygamy is no longer allowed. But many Mormons still pursue this eternal bond through marriage.

Since then. There are also a small number of stalwarts Mormons who cling to the so-called idea of eternity through polygamy, despite the orders of the sect leader. They were broken into pieces, even to this day. There are also people who insist on polygamy in spite of the orders of the state, in disregard of the orders of the Church, and they believe that the Church, who compromised with the federal government at that time, has made a great mistake and should adhere to this Mormon tradition, and they even claim that the current Mormon Church has gone astray under the pretense of the will of the previous Church leader, John Taylor.

Because of their promoting, although they were small in number, they were still quite influential to some ignorant and foolish people, so Mormon officials had to issue a unified order to strictly investigate those who advocated such ideas, and to excommunicate them immediately if they were discovered.

"Well, I'm a fool, so you mentioned to me that Mormonism really wants to pull me into the church?" After listening to Hughes's explanation, Alex hurriedly asked about the other party's intentions.

"How? Have you ever thought about joining a church? If you've ever thought so, I'd suggest you join the Mormon Church, I think it's a good fit for you, really! ”

Hughes went on to explain that Mormons make up less than 2 percent of the total population of the United States, but that most of them are elites and have a high percentage of successful people in politics and business. Hughes urged urges: "When you join this church, you understand what it means to be like a family. ”

Alex shrugged his shoulders and shook his head in refusal: "That's okay, I'm not interested in this." Besides, if you join the Mormon Church, wouldn't that be a dedication of one-tenth of your income to the church? That's a lot of money, and it's painful to think about. ”

"Ha Luha, you're really a little money fan. It's only a tenth, and the money we earn is given by God, and we only give 10%, and we can keep 90%. ”

Hughes shook his head, they were talking about the Mormon canon "tithing," which means that members must pay a tenth of their income to the church. As a result, the Mormon Church was very wealthy and had a great impact on society.

"No matter what you say, I'm not going to join the Mormon Church!" Once again, Alex explicitly rejected Hughes, who was not interested in joining such a religious organization.

Unexpectedly, Hughes did not continue to persuade, but nodded, indicating that he understood Alex's choice. He put away his smile, looked at Alex's eyes seriously and said, "You can not join the Mormon Church, after all, it is just to hide people's eyes." Do you know anything about some of the mysterious organizations in this world? ”

"Mysterious organizations? What organizations are you referring to? ”

"For example, organizations such as the Freemasons, the Skull Gang, the Illuminati, and the Black Aristocrats, you must know that these organizations are composed of elites who control the world of this world. Now you should also vaguely feel it, if no one pulls you into these organizations, I'm afraid you will encounter an invisible ceiling, and you will not be able to climb up. Some people are like this, they have always stayed in their original position, and no matter how hard they try, they can't develop. ”

"Because of the limited space on it, it can't be for so many people, right?" Alex understood what Hughes meant, and the other party really wanted to win him over to join an organization, maybe this organization was not Mormonism, but a so-called mysterious organization.

"Yes, after all, the resources of this world are limited, and the hierarchical relationship between people is like a pyramid, the higher you go, the fewer people there are. When it is less than a certain level, they will naturally form gangs and form an absolute barrier to the people below, so that the middle and lower foundations are fixed in their original positions and cannot be turned over......"

"Wait!" Alex interrupted Hughes abruptly, took a piece of paper, and drew an eye-like pattern on it with his pen. "Do you recognize these eyes?"

Hughes was stunned, he looked at this eye pattern and said, "This is a logo only for high-ranking personnel of the Illuminati, how did you encounter it?" Before Alex could answer, he immediately guessed, "So they've already been in contact with you!" I'm afraid I saw it in that kidnapping case, right? ”

Alex then told in detail what he had encountered, and of course concealed some secrets, such as the information he used to copy the Crazy Eight with his ability. However, he had already made the whole incident very clear, and this was the first time he had told anyone about the mysterious man and the eye-like pattern.

"Well, I think that mysterious person should be a member of the Illuminati, the Illuminati often do this kind of thing, and when they see a suitable candidate, they will try their best to pull out the brainwashing, and then absorb it into the organization. You are favored by the Illuminati, otherwise you would not have met their people. ”

"The Illuminati? What do they do? ”

Alex had vaguely heard some things about this mysterious organization in later generations, but after all, it was the information found on the Internet, and it is estimated that most of it was false, and it was not very accurate. Now that I meet someone like Hughes who really knows, of course, I want to find out the inside story of this organization.

Several times he tried to reach out to touch Hughes, but the other party always avoided it, intentionally or unintentionally, as if the intention had been seen through. After trying it a few times, Alex didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that Hughes would really know his biggest secret.

Hughes did not answer Alex's question, but fell into deep thought, and after a long moment said, "I see, I said how Rockefeller could be so kind to help." At the time, I really thought that Alex had something to do with Rockefeller, and they came forward to warn the Kowloon Society in order to suppress the development of the Illuminati. ”

"How can Rockefeller be associated with the Illuminati?" Alex became more and more confused the more he listened, but he felt that he was coming into contact with a secret that no one else knew.

Hughes also took a pen and wrote a word on paper: "Illuminati"!

The word stands for "Illuminati", and Hughes quickly drew a vertical square pattern under the word, which was made up of the letters of the word, and it looked very regular and orderly.

This is the logo of the Illuminati, and people think it was founded in 1776, but this is not quite true. Because this organization has existed for a long time, and it used to have a very close relationship with Freemasonry. In fact, the Illuminati and Freemasonry used to be one organization, but later split into two organizations due to different philosophies. ”

"Freemasonry?" Alex felt that his head was starting to grow bigger, as if it was quite complicated, these two organizations had a long history, and there were countless capable people in the meeting. If you mess with these two organizations, I'm afraid even Hughes will have a headache.

"Don't worry, they don't dare to stir up disputes easily, as long as you join my organization."

Looking at Hughes's demeanor, it didn't seem to be lying, maybe there was really any organization in this world that could compete with Freemasonry and the Illuminati. But Alex is a little resistant, he is very disgusted with political parties and organizations. In his opinion, once he joins these so-called mysterious organizations, he is afraid that he will be subject to others for the rest of his life. (To be continued......)
