Women sue because they didn't get to meet Jesus

Kaziah Hancock and Cindy Stewart sued leaders of a polygamous church for failing to make good on promises they'd get land, some money back and a face-to-face visit with Jesus. The promises were made in return for their contributions to The True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of The Last Days.

A jury awarded the women $300,000 in 2002, but 6th District Judge David Mower threw out the verdict after determining he was unable to decide how to divide the damages among church founder James D. Harmston and a dozen other officials from the Manti church, some identified only as ``John Does'' in the lawsuit.

Harmston's attorney, Kevin Bond, had argued that the promises were rooted in church doctrine, not a business contract that never was drafted. He said the promises were to be fulfilled by God, not Harmston.

:rofl: Whadda bunch of nuts

1. So they were promised they would meet Jesus?

I wonder what Jesus would think about this one?
"Umm...no, I don't think so."

4. Harmston should not have promised face-time with President Bush.

Only upper-class donors get to hang out with President Bush Jesus.

7. Um, "meeting Jesus," that can mean dying.

How fucking stupid can these people be. I'm surprised they were smart enough to sue...
