The Mormons are not a cult actually. And if you had lived in the UK 200 - 250 years ago, the UK had the largest group of Mormon followers than anywhere else in the World. They moved to Utah to get away from religious discrimination. I have no definitive proof that some of my forebears were Mormon but some of them emigrated to America and followed the Mormon Trail to Utah. They were Coal Miners and that might have been the attraction more so than the Religion.
mmm.
Not so sure about not being a cult as I thought it was people who practice excessive devotion to a figure,object or belief .
I also thought they were farmers not miners.
They treat females very bad in many ways...
I obviously don't do that as I'm still alive (only just) married to an English woman.
1st wife was Irish with priests for family back in the 70's, I'm saying no more on that

Their official name is 'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints', which implies that it is a religious body. As for treating females badly, if true, then it can also be attributed to other major religions. It's not that long ago that we in Europe burnt women at the stake for alleged witchcraft. Or they proved their innocence by being drowned while strapped to a Ducking Stool.
