damn, you are smart!
if the jews were mormons, we would have a number of wives as long as only one were jewish,(put two jewish women together and you have defined yentas), in spite of the law, and, i guess if mormans were jews, the covenant abraham made with god, would have been broken.
i don't know how anyone or group can stop any church or lay person from proselytizing. how many crusades were there? how many knocks on the door on a sunday.
a very wise young girl i met once, who was a member of the aimee semple mcpherson, four square church, responded when i asked how she could believe her religion was right and all the other's were wrong,
"for me to believe in my church, i must believe it is the only way. if i accepted someone else's religious views, mine would not be the only way and i must believe it is."
as far as native americans, i've been to 2 "indian" casinos and they don't let you smoke cigars inside, so they can stick there peyote wherever they want.
