'Jack Mormon' is a slang term used in Mormon culture originally to describe a friend of the LDS Church* who was not a member.
Over time, the term came to be applied to those who are members of the church but do not follow the tenets or lifestyle of the faith. For example, a Mormon who drinks alcohol and coffee but still attends church might be a Jack Mormon. So might an individual who believes in the faith, but has stopped attending meetings. The term has fallen into disuse in recent years, and such individuals are now commonly described as "less active" or "inactive" Saints.
* The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often nicknamed the Mormon church.

What is a Mormon mask?
An internet search shows that the term is often used by non-Mormons when referring to someone who acts as a faithful Mormon around other Church members and Church leaders, but secretly lives differently when not around them. Within the Church, we usually use the term "Jack-Mormon" rather than "Mormon Mask".

Is julieanne hough a jack Mormon?
I don't think that Julianne Hough could be classified as a "Jack Mormon". A "Jack Mormon" is usually someone that is a.) a member who attends meetings but doesn't necessarily live the lifestyle of a Mormon, perhaps they drink coffee, smoke, or dress immodestly but still participate in their congregation; or b.) a non-member who often participates with and supports their local Mormon congregation although they are not officially Mormon. Generally, the lifestyles of both types of "Jack Mormons" are very similar, the only difference is their membership status. Julianne Hough is more accurately considered a non-practicing or inactive Mormon. While she is still officially a member of the Church and has not requested that her name be removed from Church records, she does not participate in congregation services or live the lifestyle expected of a Mormon. She has less affiliation and participation with the church than a "Jack Mormon" would. Most likely she would say that she was raised Mormon, but no longer practices the faith.
What is a Jack Morman?
A 'Jack' Mormon is a nickname for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who is actively involved with the faith but does not follow all of the teachings or guidelines of the Church or live the lifestyle expected of a Mormon. He doesn't commit serious sins, but does smaller things. For example, a Jack Mormon might attend church every Sunday, but drink coffee or swear or occassionally have a beer or cigarette.
