There's a show on at the moment called meet the Mormons in the UK.
Pretty convincing at displaying the church itself as a cult employing obvious indoctrination tactics. They have a minder following the documentary makers to ensure they don't ask too many probing questions.
But I feel sorry for the guy/elder they're following (20 year old new missionary). It's pretty clear he's frustrated and wants to ask and answer questions of the documentary maker but is unable to because of the minder. I had no idea that missionary elders must stay in the same room at all times and contribute up to £6k to the costs of running the missionary! They're not even paid!
I mean fuck. This kid knows nothing other than the LDS having been raised as a Mormon but it's obvious he can't do anything about it.
