Utah has a hidden, factual history of shaming people and children who are less fortunate or dont live up to lds expectations. Its built into the mormon teachings (of course that isnt discussed when the double mint twins knock on your door) Punishment and working for your keep are factually based themes in Latter Day Saints application of Joseph Smiths 100% fabricated and man-made belief system. Were very very fortunate that Mitt Romney did not become President. He said out loud why he was running for President, but the comment got no coverage. He was running for President to HUMBLE America. That means something ugly in mormon power circles. ---- The list goes on and on and on, and never ends. Shame pervades every facet of the LDS church, and every person within it. It creates feelings of unworthiness that wouldnt be felt outside that setting. And for some, it just becomes too much. While members are constantly reminded that they always need to be doing more, some people just want to believe that they are fine exactly how they are. Unfortunately, that way of thinking is incompatible with Mormon teachings, and so they find themselves drifting away from the church. And more often than not, they discover that they are much happier without the weight of all that shame on their shoulders. ~ from whytheyleave.blogspot/p/culture-of-shame.html
