Thank you. I'm so suprised at how everyone thinks they are so nice. They are so RACIST. In high school my Mormon friends told me I was a descendant of Cane. My black skin was the mark of Cane, a curse. As a whole we never be successful because we were being cursed for our sinful ancestor.

I'm not Mormon, but I had a neighbor whose parents were missionaries. They were a black family and they named their son Cain. I always found that puzzling. They weren't Mormon though.

They didn't know their Bible well. Ham was the one cursed with blackness not Cain. Egypt is descended from Ham and not natively dark skinned

It is a very common Mormon belief.

Not surprised. Ask anyone who used to be LDS and they'll tell you the same stories. Joseph Smith had a slave SEALED to himself posthumously and the Church has never condemned it. If that's not enough to give you pause, I don't know what to say.

A lot of Mormons drink coffee and soda...

They are called jack Mormons.

Everything is on line now. Secrete handshakes that get you into heaven, secret name that husband calls to you to pull you into heaven, etc -- al of it.

Caffeinated soda is perfectly acceptable for LDS members. Coffee isn't though. (nor is tea.)

Yes. Also, everyone who goes to the temple for the first time on a certain day gets the same name (different for males and females). If your actual name is "Laura" and that's the name of the day, you'll get a different one. Also, the husband gets to know the wife's temple name, but not the other way around. Because patriarchy.

I suggest you first read "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey.

Secret names: Everyone who goes for their secret name endowment in the month of say, February, gets the same name. Ex:Sarah. For March, everyone get that name. Ex. Mary. It is not exactly a secret to the temple workers.

The husband whispers your secret name and pulls you thru the veil to live in eternity -- the Celestial Kingdom. It is the highest level of 3 levels of heaven. ** Along with his many other wives.**

Yes, polygamy is alive and kicking in heaven -- it has never been eliminated in heaven, only on earth when Utah was going to be denied Statehood by Congress. Suddenly, the Quorum of 12 got a revelation about it. What timing!

So pretty much the temple workers know it's all a sham. But, they stay because it is their culture. their life, their family.

Thousands upon thousands of videos on YouTube about ex-Mormons and leaving the church. Even more reddit discussions.

Op: They have secret names, secret handshakes, and special underwear. Their leader was a con man. They are racist. Polygamy in the afterlife You really want to be a part of this?

Bishops (all men) interview both boys and girls behind closed doors about masturbating and sexual thoughts and actions. Some Mormon dads are calling quits on this practice now for their kids.

LDS women have been bothered by this for YEARS. I'm glad the dads are finally complaining about it; that means leadership might actually listen. The bishops also interview grown men and women and ask about their sexual practices. This is part of getting a temple recommend. If you and your spouse are willing to discuss your sexual habits with some dude who is not a licensed counselor in exchange for (literally) learning the secret handshake, you need to reexamine your marriage and consider why you're willing to do this.

Anyway, they seem so happy and like they have perfect lives!

Look a little deeper. Mama Skalla obviously favors Rachel, and Emily is forever trying to catch up. Rachel had a business flop when copying jewelry designs and almost quit blogging because of it. The dad is a developer who lets his daughters live in his spec houses to avoid paying taxes. He also made some questionable business deals when building a shopping mall across from the SLC Temple. Emily's husband's family is a bunch of doctors and business executives who have high positions in the church. They're embarrassed their son (who is no dummy) married one of the Skalla girls, who barely eeked out an education and had been engaged twice before. At least one of Emily's boys has some special needs which are becoming harder and harder to hide on the blog. He was living with the Skalla parents for awhile I believe. The second-youngest sister broke her engagement to a seemingly nice guy and got married to another seemingly nice guy before she even removed her registry from Engagement #1. The whole thing was carefully curated for the 'gram, by the way. The youngest sister is unfortunate-looking by comparison to the others and has had a lot of plastic surgery, starting at a young age. All the girls have, but the youngest one has had the most, and she's still not as cute as her sisters and they don't let her forget it. Papa Skalla is horrified that his married daughters do not wear garments, as it's hard to wear skintight exercise clothing and sundresses with those things underneath. Emily wears hers at least some of the time, especially around the in-laws.

It's probably a matter of time before the wheels fall off in a big, public way.

Perfect lives?? They belong to the Mormon Cult. Never ever going to be perfect......
