As many of you know I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
This week a new show will air on Hulu anf on the Hallmark channels. The name of the show is “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” I join with others of my faith and invite you to NOT watch the show because it’s not an accurate portrayal of millions of members of the church around the world.
If you have a question about how I live my life based on doctrine, please just ask me. I can promise you this new show is NOT an accurate representation of the everyday Latter-day Saint woman.
Thank you for not supporting or viewing inaccurate or demeaning portrayals of my religion, or anyone's religion. Thank you! 🫶
Please read the following statement:
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, like other prominent global faith communities, often finds itself the focus of the attention of the entertainment industry. Some portrayals are fair and accurate, but others resort to stereotypes or gross misrepresentations that are in poor taste and have real-life consequences for people of faith.
While this is not new, a number of recent productions depict lifestyles and practices blatantly inconsistent with the teachings of the Church. Others irresponsibly mischaracterize the safety and conduct of our volunteer missionaries. We understand the fascination some in the media have with the Church, but regret that portrayals often rely on sensationalism and inaccuracies that do not fairly and fully reflect the lives of our Church members or the sacred beliefs that they hold dear.
Millions of Church members around the world are deeply dedicated to family, fidelity, service and the gospel of Jesus Christ. We invite all to consult reliable sources of information and listen to the voices and authentic experiences of individuals and families who find great joy and satisfaction in living these principles.
The true story of our faith is best seen in the countless lives of those who strive daily to follow our Savior Jesus Christ."
