11. I didn't see that particular series, but I'm pretty familiar with LDS--
I've known some members personally, and I've also read a bit about their beliefs--"Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer is a pretty eye-opening (and not very flattering) portrayal. Having gone to work and school with Mormon women in a Mormon-dominant community, I just don't see where they're any different, or unhappier, than anyone else. Aside from the no-booze/no-caffeine stuff. And the curious habit of taking their babies with them to college courses (can't afford daycare, maybe?). It's not for me to judge them--they're not helpless children, they choose their lives and faith same as I choose mine.
