sad
My young adult children showed me an ad for that show a few weeks ago. It's sad how a particular somebody is always trying to sensationalize the "Mormon" community. It's not like there are shows like Baptists Boozers or Protestant Promiscuity. That somebody will always try to disparage. It's even sadder to see those who were once of the faith (maybe) capitalize on the name for the sake of their 15 minutes of fame and money.

I don't know the whole situation to speak of any of these individuals nor do I care to know of their private lives. The trailer insinuates enough for me not to care.
 
In general, these type of shows (shows that have benefited or captured audiences from using the term "Mormon" and tying it to less becoming behavior) just keep me busy explaining to my non-member neighbors the lack of truth and reality...they have nothing to do with my religious beliefs. Instead, I explain the simple facts. We, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, are similar to everyone here and have the ability to make our own choices. Sometimes, those choices don't align with the gospel of Jesus Christ nor do they represent Him or His church in any way. Those involved in such behavior (swinging) are excommunicated or receive a probationary status of membership.

I hope those in the shows find what they are after. I just wish they'd label it more appropriately..."Lifestyles of Babylon," "Dissenter Clubs"...
