It reminds me of my favorite beatitudes: blessed are the rich hunters, for they shall receive their own hunting preserve.

Using free missionary labor to run a private Church hunting club for the wealthy is something truly unique to the LDS Church.

Your assumption that Clair and Beth Huff are unable to make decisions for themselves is nothing less than arrogance.

Focus instead on the ideas of "hunting" and "preserve".


OK, I focused. All I arrived at is a question. Do the patrons of this "Hunt and Kill in a Cage club" need temple recommends to get in?

Good question. We do know they need a large wad of cash.
