Here are my thoughts, opinions and little notes from reading Chapters 1-5 of Bad Mormon! ;) ENJOY! <3 Spelling errors and random thoughts include. LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS! :)
Bad Mormon
Chapter 1: Feel Like Home
I didn’t realize that Mormonism “rebranded” to Jesus Christ of latter-day saints.
“it’s all happening” Scheana reference hahaha
I love that Heather is reading the book. She has a nice voice.
I want to know more about Heathers mom and dad.
Heather lived in Aspen, Denver and lived in a gated home.
I always find it fascinating that people can remember stories from when they were such a young child. Heather remembering when she was locked out of her yard is wild to me.
Bad and Good
3rd child and 2nd daughter, 1 of 6, 3 boys & 3 girls
BIC, born in the covenant, parents married in the temple before they have children.
Heather always thought that she was better than everyone else due to being a BIC.
Growing up being a Mormon seemed normal and no one seemed “crazy”. references fanatics like Christians and other religions who seemed crazy.
Calls being a Mormon a way of life instead of a religion.
Born Carmel, California
Heathers father was in the FBI?! WHAT!? Worked in Russian intelligence.
Heathers mom was also a BIC and was from pioneers.
Heathers mom paid for her own braces and contacts? Saved up money to get them?
Parents went to UTAH State and both in frats
Heather seemed to love her mom. WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP NOW?
Chapter 2: Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Heather wetting the bed and sleepwalking hahaha
Heather seemed to be more of a tomboy growing up but had to learn how to be a lady
8 years old and already had to learn how to make casseroles and do home work
Watching baby dogs be born and around farm life.
Brother & Sister when referring to other people in the church.
Chapter 3: Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Under garments
Heather seems to go back and forth from being a Mormon to being around normal people.
Someone called out Heathers dad about his under garments at her soccer game.
Heathers mom seems to go back and forth between being “normal” and Mormon.
Chapter 4: I’m a puzzle, I must figure out where all my pieces fit.
Age 12 the women started to learn their rolls. Men are in charge and women support and nurture those men.
Everything they learned was to focus on finding a man.
Young women values.
Heather liked attention and played jokes and was loud.
I am assuming heather was very well off? FBI dad? I still need a follow up on her dad being in the FBI and speaking Russian.
Denver temple hired her dad for security. Temple committee.
Secret chamber rooms? Celestial room? Meeting the profit? Dedicating the temple.
Hosana shout, white handkerchief waving in the air.
Chapter 5: Nightswimming
Junior high
Heather becomes a horny teenager. Heavy petting with high school boys.
Heathers dad President of oil and gas company? Major Video and Arbies owner?
Moved to Utah in order to open up more Major Video stores.
Heather making out with Mark Fraser and he had a girlfriend named Regina hahaha
Heather got set up to make out with a friends boyfriend
Regina was more upset that her boyfriend Mark drank.
Regina and Gretchen??? WAIT A MINUTE!? Does heather think she was in mean girls?
The boys of the group had to tell their bishops if they had sex or masturbated
Bishops asks heather if she has ever touched herself. YUCK!
The bishop asking if heather orgasmed? so disgusting!
Are these questions being ask to Lisa Barlows song? SO NASTY!
