MISTAKES/GOOFS

• FACT: The LDS Temple endowment process is depicted with small mistakes that endowed members of the LDS Church can notice.
• FACT: Barb's stake disciplinary council is depicted wrong in the following points: - The expression "love court" is not a common one among LDS Mormon members. - A stake disciplinary council is very rarely called for a female member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It's usually reserved for an endowed Melchizedek Priesthood holder - one who has been through the temple. Disciplinary action against a female member is almost always held at the ward level in a Bishop's council rather than at the stake level. - During a stake disciplinary council, there are 16 men, not 8. The stake presidency and a clerk are present, in addition to 12 high councilors. Six of the high councilors are assigned to defense and the other six are assigned to present evidence. Outside of these men and the person cast unto the disciplinary measures, no one stays during the proceedings of the council. - Bishops never take part of this kind of council unless they are witnesses. He would not be speaking or participating in the running of the proceedings. - Witnesses wait outside until they are called. They would not be allowed to take notes.
• FACT: It's extremely unlikely that a Mormon Bishop and a Stake President would show up unannounced at the home of a long-time inactive member, enter the home and then ask to interview her without her husband present while she is wearing her bathrobe.
• FACT: To any active Latter-day Saint, the phrase "take [out] my endowments" indicates that the person is going to attend the temple for the very first time. This is known as a "live endowment." Subsequent visits to the temple are made in order to perform proxy endowments for a deceased individual, usually a relative. Although it's possible to borrow a Temple Recommend, a live endowment is a more complex process than a proxy one, and there is really no way that someone could perform a live endowment without the temple workers being fully aware of this. Therefore, depicting Barb secretly "taking" her endowments with her mother's borrowed Temple Recommend is contradictory.
• FACT: According to practices of the LDS Church, the Bishop and Stake President wouldn't know how long Barb had not paid tithing. Financial records at the ward level are only kept for three years and then destroyed. Bishops typically serve for about five years, so it is therefore unlikely that this would even be the same bishop that she had seven years earlier.
