Raised in a very Mormon community and with the whole patriarchy do what your husband and bishop say

I was raised in a small town just outside of SLC and I love these kinds of documentaries because they bring to light the real truths. The town where I was raised was totally LDS. I see the main difference between the FLDS and the LDS is they don't practice polygamy...right now. I am interested to see since polygamy is almost legal again if the LDS church re-adopts the practice. So much pressure "to choose the right". Most kids have a ring on their finger to remind them. Being a mom and a "good" wife is the only option I was given as a child and my husband could tell me to do anything. So could the bishop. If you go to college because you can't find a husband, you can take nursing, family studies, education or anything else that will contribute to being a good homemaker because that is your one true calling. I am sure that mormons raised outside of Utah have more choices. If you choose to leave the church in my family, you aren't invited to family events. Your children are watched closely so they don't infect the rest of the family If you are a Mormon, you wear certain clothes, look and talk a certain way, give 10% of your income and protect your children from "the real world" but they hate it when you call it a cult. Most are pretending their family is perfect which in my mind is not being honest. It's your church above your country and if the church wanted something different than the country they would do what they did again when they came to Utah. They are armed and believe in many conspiracy theories. I see more documentaries of this kind in the future. Loved every minute of it.
