They also do something they call "heart attacks" where a bunch of girls go over to an inactive girl's house and fake a heart attack on her lawn -- because they'll die if she doesn't come back to church.Donna Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271377907141866718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1884927711300537802.post-2969962787114129362011-07-17T13:47:41.870-07:002011-07-17T13:47:41.870-07:00Donna, the kidnapping?

It's bad enough that they want to ban same-sex marriage and good education, but to disallow STARBUCKS? It's unforgivable!

Admittedly Mormon lifestyle blogs have shown me quite clearly that if I hadn't left the church I'd be 100% prettier and more married than I am as a pagan apostate.
