As I recall the woman in The RM also wears a SLEEVELESS DRESS at the end (oh my!).Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634766750596400436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31939770.post-55394997000487112772011-07-26T17:28:56.373-04:002011-07-26T17:28:56.373-04:00I own copies of Sons of Provo, The RM, and The Sin...I own copies of Sons of Provo, The RM, and The Singles Ward. They're all funny to Mormons and ex-Mormons. -- Although my in-laws thought The SW was too disrespectful. sigh. <br /><br />As an ex-Mormon I get a kick out of the scene where Jonathan's wife leaves him while drinking beer and smoking. Also, when Eldon (the Franklin Covey addict) advises Jonathan on how to ask out a nice Mormon girl. "You've been meeting women of the world at bars and nightclubs . . ."<br /><br />God.

Mormon culture is a laugh riot whether you believe the doctrine or not. <br /><br />Now that we're out of it, we can mock without always being half-mortified that all the weirdness applies to us! And, y'know, the being told that levity is disrespectful thingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
