LDSforever 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? My sister had one guy tell her a joke that ended with Mormons are Right! This a NON-MEMBER guy too...

Oh, and on the one about the horns, I've heard a story about that one!
Okay, so a young girl is told by the Preacher (and her Mother) that Mormons have horns. So the girl meets a Mormon who proves this to be false. So the girl goes home and tells her mom what she's found. The mom turns to her and says,
"They hide them by pushing their belly button so they go into their head."
eek eek eek
rofl rofl rofl rofl

*Laughs at all the stupid people out there.*
The one I remember best is in elementary on a field trip. My best friend at the time and I (he's Catholic) were goofing off, and one of the other kids on the bus was like "hey, aren't you two supposed to be trying to kill each other or something?" eek
And J.J. and I were just like "No, that's Catholics and Protestants." Then we laughed at them

For my Contemporary Issues class we're getting close to the time when all the local religious leaders come in and teach us a little about the different faiths. Either my bishop or my dad, who is the stake president, comes in to talk about Mormonism. I'm really tempted to raise my hand and ask if Mormons have horns, but I'm not sure that'll go over with my teacher too well. Haha. She's extremely strict about political correctness and making jokes about things like religion, but I think it'd be pretty funny, since everybody knows I' Mormon.

What can the teacher really do? Fail you for one comment that I'm pretty shure doesn't break any rules? Not likely! cool

Think about the speaker and all the work they've put into trying to make a clear, coherent and interesting presentation. Don't throw a spanner in the works just to watch the sparks.

If its their dad or bishop, they probably know the person pretty well, and as such it wouldn't be anything awful for them. Also, if the class all knows that they're LDS, then they'll probably just laugh. You seem to make it out to be a big deal when it wont be. There wont be sparks, just a laugh or two.

I've heard about the horn thing too. If somebody asks me that, I'm going to be tempted to say "Yes, but I file them down so I don't scare the public." :p
Idrilnienna: After I joined the church, my mom goes "Do you pray to a big lizard in the sky?" I'm like: Uh... No... eek

I have an aunt who moved to Utah from New York and she believed the bit about horns. Apparently she made my dad's family stay up all night to prove it wrong. XD
I've heard us compared to the Amish and RLDS in many different ways, too >.>

If I seem to be making a big deal out of it it's because I am a teacher and I know how frustrating it is to have people interupt. Just be sure that if you do such a thing you're doing it in a way that doesn't disrupt the class or cause the teacher to feel disrespected.

Didn't mean to spark a big discussion here. I know it's not all too respectful, it just plays out really funny in my mind. I'm not going to do it, so stop worrying.
