The Greens and the VideoPhone conversation

Speaking as an IT person, I thought the overly paranoid Greens' use of Internet-based video phone technology not quite in character.

Internet telephony requires an Internet connection, and that can be traced fairly easily by the region-specific IP address. The quality of the video during their conversation indicates a broadband connection rather than a dialup connection, placing them in a specific location rather than dialing in long distance. The Greens probably encrypted the transmission, but the IP address would allow law enforcement agents to pinpoint the specific location of the Greens, and that I find out of character for the Greens.

If any of you use the FireFox web browser, there's a nice extension you can add to FireFox called "Shazou", which will let you explore the ability to trace Internet connections by their IP addresses. Shazou will allow you to geolocate any website by its IP address.

Not only that, Margene was not raised LDS or FLDS. She was raised by Ginger. We have never seen Bill scold her for how she dresses; only Barb and Nicki have objected to that. I think Bill likes her a little bit slutty at times. The three wives are SO different, and represent 3 different lives to Bill, I believe. He's not real strict, either. None of them, not even Nicki, wears the "special" underwear, for instance. Like I said earlier at some point, Bill's sort of an eclectic, solitary kind of Mormon. Each wife has her own style and way of expressing her faith, too. Margene may have been baptised by Bill, but does she get any kind of formal religious training? I haven't really seen any.

Just some thoughts...

Alby to Bill: "I appreciate your interest and will take it under advisement."

I expected, "Yours very truly, Albert Grant."

He sounded as if he was writing a letter.

Hey Littlehate I was surprised at how low cut Margenes blouse was and the amount of makeup She was wearing in the scene. The Floozy in here is coming out!!!!!!

Also how realistic is it that Margene would be allowed to dress that way?

What's up with this Grocery Getter?
You know that wagon has a V8, and is a gas guzzler!

Margine has a cute little car, and Nikki in her Subaru, Give Barb a Home Plus Break, and get her a Benz!;)

Truly worthwhile if you have 15 minutes. At least for a good laugh.

Thank you Tiny. Not only have I received another piece of the puzzle, (Alby with the stones and the hat), but was also highly entertained. I also think the S P production values were much better than the short I posted. Dum dum dum dum dum!...:^O

I'm gonna go watch it again.

don't you think asking mormons vs. mormon historians and scholars (objective observers) would turn up a biased answer? i mean, they have an interest in defending mormonism instead of presenting an unbiased view.

here is the definitive guide of EVERYTHING you ever need to know about the history of mormonism. truly. i promise.
