Mormons, I’ve Made it Easy For you
Wednesday, March 29th, 2006
Well, the Mormons are at it again, with their email campaign against BIG LOVE, the new HBO Show about a polygamist and his three wives, which is set in Utah. I personally have received several of these emails, and just about every other Jack, ex, or on-the-fence Mormon has, too.
Modern day Mormons say they have NOTHING to do with polygamy. NOTHING AT ALL. They are so concerned about people thinking they have ANYTHING at all to do with polygamy they are writing email campaigns against a show about polygamy, even though they say they have nothing to DO with polygamy.
The show has even issued a disclaimer that modern-day Mormons have NOTHING TO DO WITH POLYGAMY.
Um, okay.
Meanwhile, there’s my book. And since it is a controversial topic, and about Mormons, and not particularly faith-promoting (although realistic) perhaps I’ll be next. Perhaps they will send chain emails in droves to my publisher. I decided to help them out.
FW: Take action
I’m asking for your help-for about 3 minutes of your time.
The book WIVES AND SISTERS is set in Utah, and it is about a Mormon family that is not the Mormon ideal, or faith-promoting, and certainly not “choosing the right.” In fact, this book is decidedly anti-Mormon, because, as you all know, only anti-Mormons write things that are not faith-promoting or about people “choosing the right.” This writer must have an axe to grind. Someone must have made her mad, and so she left the Church and now she won’t leave the Church alone. Everyone knows the church is perfect, but the people are not. So why won’t she leave the church alone? If you don’t like it, leave! Yes, we make it hard for ex-Mormons to leave, because we hunt them down and pretend we have taken them off the rolls when we really haven’t, and we still visit them, and put notices on their doors for church activities on their doors, and all that….. But still. We don’t bug her… except for every Sunday, on birthdays and holidays, and sometimes during the week when we collect for our church activities, or the scouts do their flag fundraiser.
But that’s neither here nor there.
NBC recently cancelled a show about a dysfunctional Episcopal priest who saw a “Jesus”, after almost 700,000 people emailed and complained.
Couldn’t we do the same for WIVES AND SISTERS? Just go out, buy a copy of this book, and then MAIL it back to the publisher in protest. Better yet, MAIL IT BACK to the author in protest! What the heck is she going to do with all those books, huh?
Most important is to GET THOSE BOOKS OUT OF STORES, so they cannot fall into the hands of unsuspecting potential converts. So go. GO buy books. Do your part for the Lord.
Thanks.
