Can you share some specific Mormon horror stories?

Sure. There was a group that was crossing a river during the trek. The river was swollen from recent rains. They had makeshift rafts to cross, but one of the rafts capsized. People were thrown into the fast - flowing water. Some managed to grab onto branches or other debris, but many were swept away. The screams of those drowning filled the air. Those who survived on the shore were in shock and despair. They had lost friends and family members in that tragic accident, and they still had a long way to go on their journey, now with fewer resources and more grief.

Well, I heard one where the venue got double - booked. The couple showed up all excited, but there were already another group having their event there. It was a total chaos trying to find a new place quickly and inform all the guests about the change.

Well, some ex - Mormons have talked about the extreme pressure to conform within the community. For example, being shunned for asking questions about certain teachings. It's really a sad situation when people are made to feel like outcasts just for having doubts.

One horror story could be about a Mormon missionary being sent to a very remote area with a partner who turned out to be extremely difficult to get along with. They constantly argued about how to approach the locals, and the difficult partner would often go against the rules set for missionaries. It made the whole mission experience a nightmare as they couldn't work effectively together and were constantly in conflict.

I know of a story where a gay Mormon missionary was assigned to a rural area. He was afraid of being discovered as gay. However, during his mission, he found that some of the local families were more interested in his kindness and dedication rather than his sexual orientation. He worked hard to help the community, and in the process, he started to feel more confident about himself. When he returned, he became an advocate for more inclusive views within the Mormon community, sharing his experiences from the mission.

I'm not sure of specific events without more information. But it could be a family wedding within the Mormon context. Weddings in the Mormon faith often have special traditions and ceremonies that the Purves family might have followed.

Sure. There was a case where a bishop spread false rumors about a parishioner. The parishioner had simply questioned some minor church policies in a respectful way. But the bishop, instead of having an open discussion, started gossiping and made up stories about the person being unfaithful and a bad influence. This ruined the person's reputation within the community.

Sure. There was a story where a couple went to Aruba for their honeymoon. They had dinner at a local restaurant and both got food poisoning. They spent the rest of their honeymoon in the hotel room, feeling sick and miserable.

There was a restaurant that used Cintas for their table linens. The linens smelled really bad when they arrived. It turned out that there was some sort of chemical issue during the cleaning process at Cintas. The restaurant had to waste time and money to deal with the stinky linens and find a replacement source quickly.

There are stories of people developing osteonecrosis of the jaw after taking fosamax. It's a very painful condition where the jawbone starts to die.
