PBS' Frontline will run a program examing the Mormons beginning April 30.

Previews look good. Several people, apparently former Mormons, were saying how they were forbidden to criticize or write anything critical of their church. (Preventing outspoken criticism is a sign of a cult.) Looks like they'll cover the rituals as well.

2. Yeah, but first they harass them to try and prevent them from

leaving, don't they? And the exes have to write a letter to the main church to remove their names off the church rolls. I know someone who went back to the mormon church, but then left it for good. I wonder how the rest of his mormon family is treating him? Maybe they left first, I dunno.

3. How do they treat them?

Let me know - really I want to know how they treat former members. What's so shameful about it exactly?
