Please Explain: "Jews for Jesus" (long)

I know Utah is most definitely "Western" geographically...

But their accent resembles more closely what I've heard from Texans than what I heard in, say, New Mexico or some of the Midwestern states (Nebraska et al)

I lived in Utah for 25 years. Some do have a twinge of a southern accent for some reason. Their heaven is divided into three kingdoms with good Mormons who are married in the temple on the top level. All of us peasants get to serve them for eternity. Oh what fun...

Don't forget that Mormons spent a lot of time in Missouri and picked up a lot of converts there (here to me!) before they were driven out. It's very likely they would have taken many with southern accents with them.
