Today, I found out that my boyfriend is a Mormon, when his mother greeted me saying how happy she was her son had found himself a Mormon girlfriend. I know nothing about Mormonism, except from what I've seen on South Park, and I'm an atheist. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my boyfriend's family for the first time. We got on the subject of theatre, and his dad brought up "The Book of Mormon", how finally someone was making fun of those "nasty, polygamist, cultist freaks", and if his son ever dated one, he would disown him. I'm Mormon. FML
Today, I answered the door to two Mormon girls from America. I live in the UK and am not religious at all, but I was too polite to slam the door and ended up letting them in. An hour later, a copy of 'The Book of Mormon' and 'My Pathway to Baptism' and I think I'm now a Mormon. FML
Today, I was hanging out with a friend out of state. He had some friends with him and we were all having a great time, until they found out I live in Utah. They instantly assumed I was Mormon and started to act weird around me. This is a frequent occurrence. FML
Today, I found out my hot Mormon neighbors can be gay, but they can’t act on it. FML
Today, I found out that my parents think my boyfriend is the devil. FML
Today, I discovered that the guy I've been seeing is a firm supporter of the Westboro Baptist Church. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that he is homophobic. This wouldn't be such a big deal, if my mother wasn't a lesbian. He doesn't know this yet, and I'm afraid to tell him. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his parents and siblings for the first time. Their first reaction was, "Oh? You're her? All this time we thought you're some cartoon character from yet another lousy anime he keeps babbling about." FML
Today, my son announced he was leaving our religion. I told him that, as sad I was, that I accepted and loved him. He seemed disappointed, and I noticed him discreetly fiddling with a camera. A little snooping led me to his Reddit account, where he called us all, "inbred, illiterate, bible-thumpers." FML
Today, I found out that me having a boyfriend is an on-going family joke. FML

Can't you just ask him to teach you more about it?

I'm going to be completely honest. I had no idea that this kind of religion even existed... I don't follow religion well, but from the sound of things, I would personally choose to tell them the truth before things escalate

I'd dump the guy just for being dumb enough to believe an angel came to earth with magic stones and magic spectacles. Then again, Christians believe that a man rose from the dead and floated up into the sky.

Having been a non-Mormon stuck living behind the Zion curtain, I can tell you first hand that this is a cult. No two ways about it. I would ask your Bf why his mother thinks you are Mormon. Then do a little research on Mormonism if you plan to stay with this guy. If it ever gets serious enough for marriage, you'll have to convert. (They're always after converts just to expand church roles.) If you don't convert during marriage, they'll eventually get you with their Baptism for the Dead. So if you conscientiously don't wish to be a Mormon in life, they will get you one way or another. Do your research online, not on South Park or Big Love. That has been cleaned up for tv. And btw, good luck because these are about the weirdest people I've ever had the misfortune of getting to know.

I'm sorry for your experiences but if you are trying to tell someone to go do their own research, you should keep your own opinion based on whatever personal experience youve had out of the post. As for Zion curtain, I would hope that is not some iron curtain comparison since that would be far from The truth. Then again, your post is as inaccurate as the resources you told OP to not rely on.

Tell his parents the truth! Trust me, it's best for both of you, and it's really wrong of your boyfriend to lie like that, and he deserves the embarrassment when you say the truth.
