My opinion seems closed minded because I don't know that much about mormons at this time and choose to be cautious. My opinion
could change with more knowledge.
The LSD church

, do you mean Latter Day Saints? If I was a mormon, I might be upset that the press often has referred to the people who practice the forced marriage of underage girls as mormon sects then.
