I can understand that. When I was a Catholic, there were some doctrines and things that I was embarrassed about too. Even as a catholic, I thought the most weird thing I saw, was “holy water.” Can you believe that? Holy water? I was embarrassed about that, even while I was still a catholic. So, I can understand why Mormons are embarrassed by things like quakers on the moon. 😁
I took a class on the Cult of Mary. It was interesting. There are so many embarrassing things about Mormonism that they wished didn’t exist but they do and it becomes their downfall: Golden Plates and their god is a man who had relations with Mother Mary to produce spirit children, and on and on. They like to segue out of that by pointing “Hey Lookit! Squirrel”.
