Just saw a Fox news preview..

I guess Deseret Book (LDS bookstore) is pulling the Twilight series off of it's shelves. Umm, isn't that like shutting the barn door after the horses are loose? I like to know what is going on with the popular books and know what my kids are reading. I read the entire series and I am the among the most liberal Mormons you'll ever find, but the whole Mormon, BYU grad author thing was a complete fake out. I know people who assume if it's Mormon or BYU branded, it's moral. I was surprised during book one, shocked at book two and horrified by book three. My daughter has shown no interest and I've not encouraged or discouraged. My advice.. Hello Mormon mothers, pay attention! That often is my advice, but sadly people don't recognize that I often know what I'm talking about.
I snagged this post off of KSL's messageboard:

Any Self -respecting mother would be offended that they were on the shelf

I felt betrayed that I allowed my Daughter to start reading them because of the hype and "BYU Author." When I found out about the last books honeymoon content I was mortified that I had been duped by the LDS cultral backing. I went to the movie with my daughter to see what all her freinds would be talking about. My Daughter and I felt very uncomfortable seeing the movie. I threw the books in the trash. Not even worth getting money by selling them back. Sneaky way to sell sex to teens. All the unforbidden love is a bunch of crap if he keeps showing up in her room at night with her wearing nothing but underwear. Just because they are married later does not mean it is a free ticket to talk about intimacies and violent ones at that. You know it is coming with the sequels. I know I will get hate responses but I know there are tons of moms out there like me that will back me up. They pulled the books because they probably actually read them and were embarrased to have been representing the Miss SM.[Stepheneie Meyer]

The series and the movie are a dissapointment.

She (the poster) was torn apart, but I totally agree. And for all of the people who are saying that we are okay with witchcraft, but not vampires, and it's all fantasy. It's not the same thing. There is "snogging" in Harry Potter. Those books are not only far better written but J.K. Rowling never took the teen attraction in that direction. She could have but it wasn't critical to the story and she recognized her range. Very admirable. The vampires and werewolf subject isn't what a parent would object to. It started out with him staying in her bedroom to watch her sleep, every night. They did this behind her father's back. Not many father's would be good with that. That was just the beginning... Parents should know, but I personally think that they shouldn't be so ignorant to assume that Mormon author or BYU Grad=A rated-G read.
