[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it has good medical programs, particularly Women's medicine. [/quote]

There's no way this is true.  Especially since all women are encouraged to just get married and have babies.[/quote]

I agree the original information is off base.  Disagree that LDS women are encouraged to just get married and have babies.  This is not true of wealthy and UMC LDS women for the last 2 generations.  Some may end up staying home with kids, but not without first getting a quality education. [/quote]
It may depend on where you live -- most LDS in this area tend to be wealthy transplants, esp. compared to say, the Motherland (Utah) -- but I have found it to be true that the LDS women here do tend to be educated. Now, I can't think of a single one I know who works in anything more than a very flexible, family-oriented job (if working at all- most don't), so career women they are not, but they do value the educatio piece.

But yes, OP, there are more Mormons around here than you probably realize. My kids are at McLean HS and I know of many. And they all seem to go to BYU. [/quote]

OP here - yeah, honestly I had no idea that there were so many Mormons at McLean High School (nothing wrong with it, but I had no idea).  [b]So I thought that maybe BYU was the new up and coming school [/b](kind of like how a lot of the SEC schools became super popular over the last few years).  [/quote]
Nope! It's due to the Mormon population. No one who's going there isn't Mormon. [/quote]

^This.  I have lots of Mormon friends.  It is a truly hilarious religion.  Nice people for sure, [b]make lots of cute babies.[/b]  BYU and BYU-Idaho are basically Hogwarts for Mormons.[/quote]
Ha! I grew up in Mesa, Arizona where there is a very large LDS population. I might dispute the nice thing, but damn if they don't take the most gorgeous family photos ever...[/quote]

True- so many of those family vloggers are Mormon and from Utah![/quote]

Including the super abusive ones like Ruby Franke. There is a lot of emphasis on appearance, which can give a superficial impression of niceness. [/quote]

Oh that's right- I forgot about Ruby Franke!  Oh let's not forget about the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City![/quote]
