I just finished watching that show and it was appalled by the lack of common sense of those parents. Mormons study both the King James Bible and the Book of Mormon. Neither of those books would suggest any of those activities. Pre-arranged marriage is not a common practice in Mormonism either. I will say, Mormons, particularly Utah Mormons are sometimes very trusting and naive. Having lived both in Utah and outside of Utah there is a stark cultural difference between the Utah Mormons and those outside what we call the bubble. (Meaning that there are so many more Mormons in Utah the lack of diversity causes people to not see the way the world works outside of that environment.)iloveit wrote:Big no to that question That show was crazy and those parents are disgustingPollyKrome wrote:Thu Mar 07, 2019 8:06 pm I just watched "kidnapped in plain sight" mentioned here earlier.
I was thinking about the girl and the pedophile being Mormon and how the little girl is tasked with bringing a baby into the world to save it. I don't know much about the Mormon religion but I'm wondering - is there a book or chapter or belief in the Mormon religion which corresponds to the lie he is telling her? I wish they would have spent more time on that issue and how she must have been eager to fulfill a mission which she was selected for; how just using these words would make her not question what she was being asked to do. I imagine for her to have questioned it she would need to question her entire belief system. Do the missions that people serve correspond with religious teachings from their 'bible' (I use this word not knowing what book mormons study)? Is there a belief in the Mormon religion which addresses aliens or fallen angels? Do Mormons have an old testament and a new testament? Does the old testament, if one exists, have believers on a mission To pursue a prearranged marriage?
I hope thèse questions are ok to ask. If not; please ignore.
