3. How many "single" moms are Mormon

compared to other religions?

It's not just the FLDSers either. Lots of rank and file Mormons here in Arizona have property with two or three houses on them, all with families, only one house has a dad. The rest are single women with 3 to 5 children, all of whom are on various forms of welfare and assistance. OTOH, in a Mormon town of something like 800 or 1200, there is one very nice car dealership on the highway out of town. Lots of new cars and trucks to pick from.

4. Personally, and from a secular point of view, I think it's a model all of us should consider. I wond
er how many of us will get the same kind of tax breaks.

5. Anybody question the tax-exempt status of the church Palin
was talking at in the videotape?

We have had our governor speak at our church, but it's because he was a member at the time. He also was very careful not to mention anything political.

6. google national level church organizations of various stripe
They usually have a downloadable document describing what membership in their national cartel gives those congregations who purchase membership.

I did this once several months ago, found a national evangelical church organization and saw deliverables documents full of all kinds of extensive networking activities.
