Three days after the funeral, Martin told his children he needed a nanny to help with the younger kids — something the older daughters told him was unnecessary. Martin asked Rachel to go with him to the LDS Mount Timpanogos Temple to pray about a nanny.
Just outside the temple, a woman whom her dad pretended not to know walked out of the temple and up to Rachel and Martin and began talking to them. Rachel said her dad acted very strange.
"This was the first time I realized something was wrong," she said. "The whole thing had been scripted."
Not only did her father know this woman, he had been dating her for 16 months, she would later learn.
The irony of the mormon PR campaign, "I'm a mormon"....
In recent months we have seen yet another, very significant development. In several defined areas across the United States, an advertising campaign by the Church itself has given Church members a platform from which they can speak for themselves. Unscripted, these members have been empowered to express themselves in a way that was unimaginable just a decade ago. The individual profiles that now appear on Mormon.org capture the robust diversity within Mormon life, embody Mormon values and put a personal face on the institution. The premise behind this campaign is that Church members cannot be easily stereotyped and that in their diversity they find a common thread of belief in following Jesus Christ and in their core values.
Kinda like our favorite FR MORMONs type in wonderful, unscripted stuff?
