The Short Of It 

  I was visited by a Mormon insurance salesman --

   Two salesmen came to my house under false pretenses.  One, the unit supervisor, is a Mormon (corby . hansen @ bankerslife . com); the other, a young man, a subordinate trainee, is probably a Christian; perhaps he's a Lutheran.  One of them called me one morning asking to visit me at home to explain Medicare. But my phone number is listed in the "National Do Not Call Registry" !  That makes it illegal for him to call me.

  If salesmen violates this law, then I pretend to do business with them -- that's my policy : ).

  The Mormon fellow believes that the inventor of Mormonism, Jos. Smith, could read, understand and translate Egyptian hieroglyphics!  This is how the Mormon Book of Abraham came about -- or so the salesman believes.  

    Mormons believe there exists a planet named Kolob (in Cancer) from whence space aliens, god' children, arrive daily by the millions -- in the guise of human neonates.

   If some salesman is stupid enough to believe, or dishonest enough to act like he believes -- this, and more equally stupid Mormon things (LINK) ... then why  should I believe the rosy benefits he touts from giving his company my money ?  If someone believes the Mormon faith-based things, then he or she does not have the wherewithal to understand how things work.  That's my opinion, please don't confuse me with facts.

35 years after Jos. Smith's fatal defenestration, the  BANKERS LIFE insurance company was established.

  The Mormon insurance salesman believes that his religion is better than that of Christians' religion;  especially, the thinks his world view is better than that of atheists.  He once had been a Mormon missionary_*), explaining this idea to those who opened their doors to him. It seems that much of Corby E. Hanson's time -- since his youth -- has been spent gaining access to people's houses to explain to them that:

1.)  they have the wrong religion -- they will benefit if they convert to Mormonism,
2.)  they should buy his insurance / annuity plans.

  Mormons give tax-deductible "tithing" to their church, the LDS church.  This deduction is money the government does not receive and which other tax-payers must pay to make up the deficit.

  All the while this Mormon insurance salesman crows about how concerned he is about others (me) and how he wants to help them.  (If he wants to help me, I think he should pay his fair share of the tax burden.)

  This Mormon insurance salesman met with me under false pretenses.  He wanted to sell me annuities and such.  But he entered my house saying he wanted to help me with signing up for Medicare plans (Medicare is a social insurance program administered by the U.S. government for those over 65).

  His company violated the the national "Do Not Call"  law (file a complaint here) by calling me on the telephone -- to get his foot in the door.  When challenged on this point -- he came prepared -- he showed me a copy of my state's law (13-25a-111 Code) , which purports to exempt Insurance companies (sic)  from the national law!  I could not find anything on the 'Net except the below -- and it seems to mean nothing relevant.

 My Advice 

  Don't do business with Mormons because they are ignorant or gullible or dishonest.   For example,  Paul Dunn, General Authority, practices illustrating principles of truth by using falsehoods.

  Tell the the salesman you have to pray about this first, before you buy.  Say that you'll ask the lord  (Heavenly Father) to notify you -- and ha, ha, ha -- if He  wants you to purchase this annuity.  Tell the salesman that that's how you will proceed and that you'll let him know after god has spoken to you.  The actual conversation went like this:

"Corby:   Tell me what's your hold-up on this, why would you not enroll and take care of this today? I:   I think I have to pray about it first. Corby:   OK, 'cause John and I could wait or we could go in another room while you do that. I:   Well... really?   Corby:   Really. I:    ...we could all pray together. Corby:   We could pray together, absolutely. I:   Or... I could do it on my own and then let-you know what the Lord says. Corby:   You could, absolutely. I:   That's, I think, my preferred route. Corby:   OK. Let me tell you some things to consider ..."            Listen to the .mp3 recording

About salesmen:  When they call on the phone, make an appointment to see them -- at an inconvenient time -- make an appointment to see them on Sunday morning!   Make up your mind ahead of time that no matter what -- you won't buy.  Tell them you have to pray about it first; that will buy you time and they won't argue.

The salesmen cape prepared with a Printed explanation (above) ion their briefcase. 
THIS is evidence that this company makes it a regular practice to violate the NATIONAL DO NOT CALL Law..

Legislative Review Note as of 2003:
This bill modifies provisions related to the database of persons in Utah who object to receiving
unsolicited telephone calls. The database consists of the Utah telephone numbers contained in
the national "do-not-call" registry. This area of law is unsettled at present. A federal district
court prevented the Federal Trade Commission from enforcing the national "do-not-call"
registry, which is similar to the Utah database, because it violates protections of commercial
speech contained in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Tenth Circuit
Court of Appeals has accepted an appeal of that decision. While the Tenth Circuit has not yet
decided the appeal, it has allowed the F.T.C. to continue to enforce the registry because the court
said there is a substantial likelihood the F.T.C. will win the appeal.

Mormonism, or the LDS Church, is one of the world’s fastest growing religions. But unless you were raised a Mormon, you probably don’t have a clear picture of this great religion, which was unearthed by Jos.  Smith, a nearly illiterate farm ...		...Explains how the world’s great religions, true ones and false ones,  answer questions that persist through generations. Authors Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman are trusted religious...

Corby,

I am very humbled, no need to look at your recent email attachments now, thanks anyway.

That's because the Lord did finally speak to me @ 2 hrs ago. You know.  That, in answer to my prayer.

Today, just a little before 7:pm, as I was returning form a short trip to the liquor store, God spoke to me and mentioned your proposal, but he did not say what to do next. HE said to wait until the fullness of time and he will then contact me again to tell me to partake. So, that's all I know. FYI.

_* Mormon Missionaries are people who go door to door, all over the world to lie about very important things. They don't know how things work but they believe that praying has efficacy.
