The scandalous world of a group of Mormon mom influencers implodes when they get caught in the midst of a swinging sex scandal that makes international headlines. Now, their sisterhood is shook to its core. Faith, friendship and reputations are all on the line.

I will probably end up watching this thing.

I went through something like this with my son and a local cult-like evangelical church. He was 15 and was dating a girl whose parents made my son their project without consulting us even once. They were texting him privately, inviting him to events privately, and working very hard to influence him outside of our knowledge. I recognized what was happening because I've seen it done so many times when I was an active LDS. In those cases it was never done out of malignancy, just in the spirit of sharing their truth and saving a soul, but when done without the full consent of family and without 100% sharing of info it can be a really bad look. Anytime you have lay leadership, doing it the wrong way is on the table. Grooming isn't the word because that's loaded with sexual meaning.

Those guys are nuts. Sorry that happened.

Maybe Kyle doesn't like his family.

Really weird about the age difference though. Might be something to her being a gold digger, but the rest...? He sure talks a lot about being "groomed into the mormon culture" without ever saying what that even means. Groomed to what? Go to church? Hang out with his girlfriend's family?

Agree on the age. That is weird. The "mormon grooming" crap is offensive and smacks of deep south evangelical religious bigotry.

So, I'm not quite sure what defines "grooming and brainwashing onto the Mormon culture," but it no doubt involves cookies, donuts, and bubble-up soda.

Ha! You guys must've missed the part where I said this happened in Belgium. There was probably a .001% chance he was a serial killer but that was still a higher probability than baptism.

Probably a cannibal.

And the whole chain of his descendants won’t hear the gospel and will end up in the telestial kingdom.

Bro, haven’t you heard of baptisms for the dead?
