I resent the way their creepily perfect missionaries with the mirror shined shoes accost you in the street and ask you about Jesus. I think I rank them below tourists, that's not a good thing.

Julia Sweeney does a great bit about Mormon's in her Ted talk.

Click the time line and go to 'The Mormon Story' if you don't have 17 minutes to watch the whole thing.

Only mormon I ever knew was an honorable man who lived his religion and never put it in your face.

There are usually a bunch of them running around every where in Germany. Nice folks. You can spot them a mile away in or out of a crowd so I stop and talk to them when I get a chance too. Really surprises them to hear someone speaking American English here.

To each his or her own.

Do remember that the polygamists are outcasts of the official church. Mormons have a great belief system, complete with magic underwear that would make Harry Potter jealous.

My sister and I were walking our dogs in a field behind her place. We were approached by a couple of Mormon lads. They took one look at us and our dogs (her dog is MUCH larger and scarier looking than mine), and walked a wide circle around ME and MY dog and walked straight up to her and started their conversion chatter. (rofl) I've been told I have a rather intimidating expression when I sense I'm about to be annoyed ...

The Mormons I have known, more than most, seem to me to live by the tenets of their religion. I just don't particularly like some of those tenets.

I've got nothing bad to say about them. If they came up to the door I'd say "no thanks" and move on.

I like Donnie & Marie Osmond. They are Mormon and more devout and civic-minded than anyone I know who is a member of any other religion.
