Remember that Mormon song, "I'm A Mormon"? This song's entire message was 'I'm a Mormon and I am different and proud of it!' Now they are trying to make themselves appear to be normal and mainstream. Part of the Mormon identity is pride in the fact that you are different, you are elite, in the world but not of the world, a peculiar people, etc.<br /><br />And they never change...Mormon411https://www.blogger.com/profile/04113317471178740266noreply@blogger.com
