Default Mormons Are CIA Agents?

Interfax-Religion

Quote:
Moscow, August 21, Interfax - President of the Russian Association of Centers for Religious and Sectarian Studies Professor Alexander Dvorkin is concerned with Mormon activities in the Russian Federation.

"We have been informed that American Mormon missionaries were detained on the territory of secret military facilities more than once. They are accused of having CIA connections, and it is reasonable," he is quoted as saying by the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily on Thursday.

According to the professor, Mormons have commercial interest: "they actively buy fishing industry."

Dvorkin called this sect "a rich transnational corporation."

"They always need people for "tithe" - a tenth part of income paid as a compulsory contribution to the sect. According to the experts, today Mormon's tithe makes one third of their income," he stated.

As Dvorkin said earlier, there are over 80 big sects active in more than half Russian regions. He thinks, minor sects numbers "in thousands."
Is it only missionaries who are CIA agents? What about all American Mormon missionaries? As an American Mormon in a foreign country, who do I contact in the church to ensure that I am receiving my stipend from the CIA? How much should I be getting? When I am sending back intelligence, who do I give the intelligence to? Should I contact the Mission President?

Do you think Mr Dvorkin could give me the answers to those questions? He sure seems to have many other answers to ridiculous questions.

Oh, Dvorkin doesn't know the half of it. There are also mormons behind the alien abductions and cattle mutilations. In fact, my uncle-in-law was there in the '80's when they abducted Dvorkin and implanted a chip that makes him sing "I'm a little teapot" whenever I push this button: [pushpushpushpush]!

Ahh, good times.

My brother in law is on a mission in Russia right now, and I hate to break it to Russians but that kid couldn't even spell CIA.

Don't I wish though, how cool would it be to get a wrist walkie-talkie when you got confirmed?

See, this is what happens when someone here on this site decides to let the cat out of the bag. Now the Russians are going to send nuclear missiles into space to shoot down God's mothership too. I knew we should have banned that guy and deleted his posts.

Mormons buy up fish. Take caviar. Must get stipend from CIA to make amends. Caviar on blinzkis good with vodka. Must go now. Knock at door. Hide in cellars. Dasvidaniya.

Perhaps we need to issue the latest 'cloaking suits' for all missionaries....
