“Captivating!”
(We like the sound of that.)

✭✭✭✭✭ Captivating!
by EMcRory
I bought this book while at Heathrow airport on my way back to Vancouver BC. I read the entire book on the flight, which required me to stay up all night to do so. That gives you an idea of how fun this was to read. I think I found it interesting because I went to a dental school where 30 percent of the students were Mormon. I had heard rumors about things Mormons believe but didn't really believe them at the time. This book confirmed my suspicions! You can't believe the craziness until you are a Mormon yourself or until you read this book. Totally fascinating! I was also thrilled that the author came out a better person in the end. Good for her for following her instincts!

review by scholar Richard Packham:
“Of the dozens of recent books authored by those who escaped from polygamous groups, this one is unique and worth a read.”

✭✭✭✭✭ A Hilarious Account of Life in Mormon Polygamy August 22, 2013 By Richard Packham Several times while reading this book I burst out laughing. My wife said, "Isn't that the book about polygamy? Polygamy isn't funny!" I had to assure her that yes, this was the book about polygamy, and that it was damned funny ... (read the rest of Packham’s review on Amazon by clicking here now)

Another reason not to invite
Mormon missionaries into your home

Need a reason not to invite in the Mormon missionaries? Besides, that is, that the religion is hogwash? Here you go. In Las Vegas, a pair of young male thieves decked themselves out as Mormon missionaries—white shirts, ties, backpacks, the works—and went door to door. Once a trusting but unlucky homeowner invited them in, they pulled a gun on him, beat him, and robbed him. We in no way wish to poke fun at the victim. What he experienced was surely horrible. But we have no reservations about poking fun at Mormon missionaries. After all, it’s not often that you see a bogus version of something that’s bogus to begin with.

Mormon Apostle Holland’s
Approach to Difficult Questions:
Question the Questioner

In a classic cult-like maneuver, mainstream Mormon Apostle Jeffrey R. Holland dodged questions of fact from Tom Phillips, a close associate and former stake president in the U.K. Phillips’ questions included the quite reasonable, “... Demonstrate to me that the Book of Mormon is true by answering and refuting the ‘evidences’ against its truthfulness ...” which Phillips listed in some detail. Ignoring Phillips’ questions, Holland replied, “... Have you ever had a spiritual experience in your entire life? Are you having any in recent days, or weeks, or months? How does your family feel about your views? Are those views helping them? Are people happier, prospering more, doing better following your lead? I love you and pray God you will be open to some spiritual indication of what is at stake here ...”
