Mormon lecture re: being perfect woman, Utah's high anti-depressant Rx's!

http://lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-775-27,00.html

Yikes....

I have visited sacrament meetings in some of the poorest places on the earth where mothers have dressed with great care in their Sunday best despite walking for miles on dusty streets and using worn-out public transportation. They bring daughters in clean and ironed dresses with hair brushed to perfection; their sons wear white shirts and ties and have missionary haircuts. These mothers know they are going to sacrament meeting, where covenants are renewed. These mothers have made and honor temple covenants. They know that if they are not pointing their children to the temple, they are not pointing them toward desired eternal goals. These mothers have influence and power.

Mothers Who Know Are Nurturers

Mothers who know are nurturers. This is their special assignment and role under the plan of happiness....

1. Why don't the Mormons give these poor people some money instead of "salvation"? nt

4. Oh, I was referring to this (UT highest anti-depressant rate in US)

Should have ref'd it sorry, it had been another thread....just wondering if living up to the "perfect Mormon" pressure had anything to do with it....
