Wow, those are some tough words, but the exact words used by this Christian group when reviewing the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. Full disclosure, I am LDS--so is Stephanie. I've never read her books, the idea just never interested me. However, since I am fully ingrained in the Christian homeschool groups, I thought I'd share some of what I hear about what this "Mormon" is doing to good Christian girls. The ideas circulating are interesting, to say the least, but I would also say they are quite a bit damaging to missionary work. Here's one (and only one, but I've read others and been present for conversations like this one) article that pretty much summed up what I've been hearing:

I don't take sides during these conversations, because, as I said, I haven't read them, I just think it's important for those who read my blog, who promote Twilight, to know what is being said.

Very interesting...
a lot to think about and very good points but shouldn't be used in the mormon discussion. she just wrote a kind of crappy book-that's it.
Carrie--although I agree that it doesn't have much to do with Mormonism, you'll have to convince a lot of other ladies, who are already convinced that Mormons aren't Christian, that it has nothing to do with what a good Mormon family would accept or be allowed to have in their homes. I think we always have to be diligent in realizing that people are going to equate what we do with what our religion is.
