I don't know about you guys, but I've heard some very interesting/hilarious things other people have said about mormons to me. Like-
Did you know that Mormons don't drink soda?
or.. I can't believe Mormons aren't allowed to leave their house on Sunday!
guy-who-was-putting-in-the-wood-floor: Hey watch out, the Mormons came twice here while you were gone, I think they're trying to convert you.
friend: oh you're mormon? I didn't know that!! Oh so do you put on black pants and a white shirt and go knocking on peoples doors?
(she was dead serious)
any others?

Someone once asked my best friend, in all seriousness, how many mothers she had.
Some people apparently believe Mormons have horns too. I bought myself a pair at the Renaissance Faire when I heard that one. I want Horns of the Demon for my avatar (for that reason and for an in-character reason) but I didn't realize they were so expensive. *weep*

Itesa Someone once asked my best friend, in all seriousness, how many mothers she had. Quote: I've gotten that one a few times. Sometimes they don't believe me after I say we all have one, so then I usually say "I don't know, maybe my dad has another one locked up in the basement..."

I want Horns of the Demon for my avatar (for that reason and for an in-character reason) but I didn't realize they were so expensive. *weep* That one's my favorite! Oh, wow... whenever people asked me that, I told them they would come out on my 16th Halloween, then on my 16th Halloween, I put on a tail, horns, grabbed a pitchfork, and wrote on a red shirt "Mormon Chick: Stereotyped." xd hm... let me think... "Mormons can't go to other churches, or they'll kick them out!" "Do you know what Mormons do in their temples? It's something like a pagan ritual, where they dance around a bonfire! I know! I've seen it!" (HAHAHAHA) Oh, there's this story about a preacher who was prophesizing against Mormons, and he was saying something about baptisms for the dead. Turns out the missionaries were at that sermon, and talked to him about it. When he learned the basic truth, then he dug up a bunch of graves, and sent all the coffins to the temple, and said that they would help in any way they could. The missionaries then laughed at him, and explained in more detail.

LDSeraphim my school must be really perverted, but hte only thing they really talk about with me is how i'm supoosed to use birth control.....other than that, i just get strange looks and people run away when i tell them i'm mormon. confused Probably because we're known to have alot of kids(hey, I'm the 11 kid in my family, so I can't say it isn't true) I heard once that we can't have shoes or phones. Another time I heard that we were actually aliens that were trying to abduct people through conversion. Soo silly.

The one I hear most often is that we're either Amish or Quaker.

People have a tendancy to assume that if you're brave enough to wear a BYU shirt, you are mormon. xd
i remember, before i converted or knew much of anything about the church, i thought you weren't supposed to use very much electricity. like, ok, mennonite is a light version of amish, and mormon was a light version of mennonite or something. sweatdrop
last, one guy that was talking to my (non-member) dad was talking about where he's from. my dad misheard him and asked "wait, you said utah, right?" the guy replied, "No, i only have one wife! *laugh*"
needless to say, i gave the guy dirty looks the rest of the night. xp

Heard the one about how some people actually think we sacrifice babies to god? I just kind of said a few words. "Wow, the government lets people do that?"
