Mormons

I have Mormons coming over to chat on Tuesday.

Todd is pissed.

They came around in suits this afternoon while the kids and I were playing in the snow. They had suit on and they had pamphlets. They said that they were sent here for 2 years to walk the area and bring the message to people. One was from Utah and one was from Canada. They both had the same first name. Elder. I forget the shorter ones last name but the other ones name was Elder Rowbottom. lol

Anyways Todds mad cuz I gave them 'too much information' and that I invited them over Tuesday.

Anyone ever had this? I've only ever had Jehovahs and people selling books and meat. Never mormons.

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies

Are you and Todd married? Because if he isn't filing for divorce right now, that man is a saint.

I had mormons come to my door once.

I was completely honest in saying, "I am not looking to change my religion. I smoke, I drink, and I have sex. What are your views on that?"

The replied with, "That's okay! None of that is a problem!"

I say, "Gay love?"

They glance at eachother uncomfortably, make a face, and shake their heads.

That was when the door closed on them and I continued about my day.

You DO realize "Elder" is a title, not their first names, right?

From wikipedia:

  • Elder as Title: The title "Elder" can be used for any holder of the Melchizedek Priesthood. As a title it is typically used to refer to male Mormon missionaries (e.g. Elder Smith or Elder Jones) or to General Authorities (such as Elder Russell M. Nelson or Elder Merrill J. Bateman).
  • Elder as Office: Men are ordained as elders beginning at either age 18 or 19. The duties of an elder are to baptize, confirm members of the Church and give the gift of the Holy Ghost, administer the sacrament, give blessings of comfort and healing, and generally watch over the Church.

2 very young mormon missionaries from Canada once knocked on the master's door

He invited them in and asked them a bunch of questions, and then proclaimed he was very interested in fornication. (he meant their views on the topic!!!)

Those poor girls started looking nervous, locating their nearest exit and made their excuses about having other appointments.

Ohhh... so home invasions would be easier if they just wore suits and carried booklets? eek

Yeah, I'd be mad, too.

No, believe me I kow how it looks, and I know you have to be very careful who you trust now a days. Why the hell would you pose as a Mormon though, and why would you go door to door. They were not burglers.

So - can I ask what is your current religious situation?

I have heard some kind of crazy things about mormons in general, nothing against the 2 nice fellows you have met!

On vacation recently there were a couple of ex-mormons in my tour group. They were the sweetest couple and we talked alot about why they left their religion. They gave me the impression that there are some pretty intense rules to be mormon. This couple was gay, so one of their main concerns was the stance against gay relationships.

I also remember them talking about the money you have to pay the church. They said that you aren't even allowed in the church unless you are current with your dues that you owe; and that includes attending weddings and funerals. They keep track of how much money you've given!

I'm not interested in changing my 'religion'. I hate that word. lol I'm just interested in hearing about theirs. I had a friend in Highschool who was Mormon and alls I know is they were in church like all day on Sunday and she had like 6 siblings, and she herself has 5 children now.....all of which she had at home. NOT INTERESTED lol

I'm a Christian.

I like a split level better than a bi level.

I think.

To me a bilevel is just a glorified ranch with a few less steps to get down to the basement.

the book of mormon is an interesting read, though it's not my cup of tea. the way the religion started is quite a story.

HOLY SHIT!!! I just (2 minutes ago, literally) sent missionaries away from our door (didn't even give them a chance to know if they were Mormons, we have a mormon church up the road).

I'd be pissed too.

And just so you know, if you don't already...they reeeeeeeally don't care for us gheys. hmph!
