ORIGINAL: TheHeretic quote:
ORIGINAL: BenevolentM One of the things I noticed is they are hyper-conservative in their thinking, extreme far right. Religious right, yes, absolutely. Fiscal right, they are pretty middle of the road, with a fondness for infrastructure, good public schools and parks. I was dragged along to their Sunday school a few times, and find their holy book laughable. I also consider the early history of the church to be an ugly stain on the history of my country. You will find very good people, and very good neighbors, in a Mormon church. You'll also find a structure that lends itself very well to the true believer types, a worldview that encompasses life, not just Sunday morning. Is it Tuesday night Bible study, Friday night youth/singles/family group, or are they all brainwashing sessions? It depends on what you think of people of faith, and the communities they form. Do understand though that all the people in her new life will be telling her she'll be better off without you in it. A rotten guy might make it difficult for her to get away, but most people who start getting sucked in to the church, and then decide oh hell no instead, just walk away without more than a missionary call or three. I wouldn't worry about coordinating a rescue and deprogramming mission. ETA: When I say the holy book is laughable, I mean in terms of the mythology - there is some very good stuff in there about being excellent to ones self and each other, too. Bwah hah hah ha ha.....Your whole party is so far to the right ya`ll fell off the edge of the earth.....[sm=rofl.gif] To the normal folks...... Believe it or not, one of the most accurate and truly descriptive tellings of the Mormon story is on South Park http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s07e12-all-about-mormons
