I’m so glad you are going to be covering the Hulu Mormon wives show! It’s a HOT topic here in SLC. The Mormon church released a statement yesterday basically saying these girls should not be considered Mormon because they do not worship at the highest level. Ruffling lots of feathers because the Mormon church does NOT like any media attention like this because it puts the bullseye on them and their BILLLLLIONS of dollars they have from their people. Major media storm! Gonna be juicy,
That is not what the statement from the Church said at all, lol. It was about how media tends to be sensationalized and may not fully and fairly reflect the lifestyle of the average member (which is true…most of us are not swingers 😂).
It did not even mention this show by name, because there is also a movie coming out where there’s a murderer trying to murder female Mormon missionaries. So it addresses multiple media items in the general sense.
Here is the statement:

Trying to remember if they made a statement over Sisterwives
I was raised Mormon (married in the temple, all the things) and left in my 30s, with a lawyer and everything because you can’t just “leave.” Like, once you are on the records of the church, they make nearly impossible to remove your information and basically stalk you for life…it’s very similar to Scientology! But real stories of Mormons doing scandalous things gets out? Immediately they try to disassociate from these people publicly (real Christlike, huh?)
I have never been so disgusted with Mormon women than the way they are reacting to this show on social media.
