Read svcw’s posting history for the last couple days before condemning him about Mormonism.

chris, do you know Mormonism from the inside? Do you have family who are Mormons? Do you know what Mormonism can do to folks?

I do not know any Mormons, none of my family are Mormons, and I know what religion can do to people...it can brainwash them.

When I was much younger, a teen ager, I knew a laay named Janice. She was the wife of my brother’s father’s brother, John.

She was deeply religious. I’m not sure of her religion, though it was some sort of pentacostal or evangelical form of Christianity. She was not allowed to wear any make up, she could only dress in a demure fashion and she must submit to the will of her husband no matter what.

Well John was a violent alcoholic sob that beat her often, and he was an unfaithful dog of a man who attempted to seduce my mom even though she was married to his brother...he was a real piece of work. In spite of this, Janice remained with him and endured his abuse because her religion commanded her to do so.

I fail to see why anyone would choose to live this way, but she did. I do not think that her religion benefited her in any way. It made her a doormat.
