Need to feel superior, special or chosen. Needs to feel they have super secret information that others don't about the universe. Or just need to feel they are in the right.

Fear. Afraid to question or think for themselves. Need to do things the right way and not make mistakes. Need to have all the answers and afraid of the unknown.

"Us" versus "Them" mentality

"Serving others" for narcissistic reasons (their own blessings and admiration)

Inserting Mormonism into every conversation.

Group dates at ice cream parlors.

Aversion to the cross and R rated movies.

Whining about taxes while throwing money at their church.

While not universal, scientific illiteracy is epidemic, at least.

According to a recent study posted on another thread. High levels of passive agression.

Exactly. That's how I know the traits. I cringe at who I used to be.

Everything is black or white, there are no gray areas.

If you're not for us you're against us (although 99% of the population don't care one way or the other about Mormons).

To paraphrase Hinckley, either the Cult is 100% true or the biggest hoax ever. (He got that one right).

Funny, I am more outgoing now that I don't feel pressure to "share" or convert.

they process what you said (has to roll around in their head for a while while staring at you) to make sure they respond to you in a church approved way.

The trait is, they all speak in platitudes.

"They left because they were offended, sinned, or want to sin."

"They left because they couldn't live up to church standards."

"DNA has been diluted is why they can't find evidence of American Indians being from the Middle East."

"That's because the Prophet was speaking as a man, not THE Prophet."

"Polygamy was because there was a shortage of men."

"Well, even if there wasn't a shortage of men, it was so that with polygamy they could reproduce faster."

"Brigham Young and the Church had no part in Mountain Meadows, it was rogue members."

"That's an anti-Mormon lie."

"We don't understand, but it will all be worked out after we die."

and the last fallback:

"I know the Church is True!!"

Obsessed to the point of compulsion about the breeding status and sex lives of everyone else.

I got sick of one old chook (rhymes with look and is a slang term for a chicken in Australia) asking me about my relationship status and and warning me that I need to start impregnating someone soon.

One day after she greeted me with her usual interrogation about providing grandchildren and finding a wife, I asked her if she blows her husband because SWK listed oral sex as a sin. She reacted like she had just seen a ghost, grimacing, blathering, and looking like she might fall off the perch at any moment.

Another Morgbot, a penishood holder, asks me EVERY TIME he sees me if I have a "girlfriend". I'm 43. One time I took the opportunity to teach him about his need for a quorum of wives to get into top heaven, and stated that with all the polygamy in Mormon afterlife there's going to be a shortage of women, unlike the fuckin lie told to me in Sunday School that there was a shortage of men in early Utah. I ranted to the point where he started moving away from me, then thought "fuck this" and walked off the other way mid sentence.

Sexually repressed. Unhealthy sexual map. Obviously looks at porn on the sly. (Utah has the highest porn usage per capita of all states.)
