No, I don't plan to boycott the show because I think it creates the opposite effect MORE people will want to watch it. Having said, I am not surprised in the least.

I completely agree, I have been fallowing the show ([kind of] an attempt to know thy enemy) and it is obvious that the writers try to work in themes to highlight there disagreements with the church. Another example is when Bill Paxton's characters daughter was pregnant and went to meet an LDS couple for adoption, well it turned out that the man was gay, upon leaving the daughter commented that it was wrong for a church to council gay men to get married. This was completely unnecessary for the storyline and an obvious shot at the LDS church especially for a show that was only going to focus on polygamists
