I am sorry if this offends anyone. I just dislike any religion that proselytizes and treats the women like cr@p. Plus, it took me 7 years just to get an interview in the Mesa Schools because my last name wasn't Dobson, Hobson, or Robson.

OK, no more. I am so glad that I mostly don''t have to deal with any missionaries anymore.
I've followed this thread with amusement and interest because I'm LDS. I do have to take exception to a few points in your post, Crankin. I respect your right to dislike any religion you want....it's no skin off my nose. You don't like missionaries...ok, whatever...your choice.

However, I can personally tell you that, in general, women are not treated like crap in the LDS church. Certainly there are bad apples in any religious organization, but as a whole, women are treated like daughters of God, which we are.

Secondly, I don't know anyone with the last names of Dobson, Hobson, or Robson. (Maybe it's a local thing? I don't know.)
