    How often did people confuse you with Mormons? Whenever I traveled outside of Utah, people always thought Mormons and JWs were the same thing.

    Solidarity on being raised in an American cult :solidarity:

    Thanks for the link, I've never seen this clip before. The information is accurate, except for the castration thing. Although I think they worded it as salaciously as possible to paint Mormons in the worst light. (nobody talks about "endless celestial sex" in church)

    Mormons all claim to be Christian, that's the official doctrine. Like you said though, it breaks from mainstream Christianity dogma, so other Christians are always calling them out about it.

    Hmm, maybe he tried to reach out to you because he struck out with your gf? They are tenacious proselytizers.

    As for non white people, Mormonism is systemically racist. They still have books that discourage their members from marrying outside their race. On an individual level it's sort of a mixed bag. Some white Mormons are your bog standard chuds, while others are proud to accept everyone, even if that can border on tokenism.
