Feeling a little bit Molly Mormon

Sometimes, I feel a little Molly Mormon. This is one of my Molly Mormon moments.

The wikipedia definition of Molly Mormon is...
Molly Mormon is a term for the popular stereotype of a female member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A Molly Mormon is thought to be the "perfect Mormon woman" - an attractive and chaste woman whose life revolves around the family and marriage and the social demands of Mormonism, like bearing multiple children, and who embodies the cheery, chipper and domesticated female in Latter-day Saint culture. Typically, a Molly Mormon would not dissent against her husband or the priesthood and supports Mormon social and political views unconditionally. Peter Priesthood is the male version of the same term, though used somewhat less frequently. Many "Molly Mormons" are stereotyped as being consumed by their life within the church, and as gullible and out-of-touch with the reality outside it.

One of our activities at church a few months ago asked us to complete a profile for the mormon.org website. It took me ages to phrase everything perfectly so that I didn't sound like the stereotypical "Molly Mormon" summarized above.

I've been waiting for weeks for my profile to go up. I wonder what people think when they read my profile. If they feel inspired. If they feel it's insincere or just the textbook answers. I wonder... It has finally been put up! 


There's also a link on my mormon.org profile bringing people HERE! There are also links to my facebook page and twitter!

Anyways, I am so excited! I had to share it with you guys! Go check out my mormon.org profile!
