Okay, here's one that I just heard today, An investigator and his friend were walking towards the Institute building(To their car, which is also where I park for school/work) And were chatting about the church because we had all just seen some elders.
I can't hear what they're saying until the investigator turns to me(Who is walking behind them) and says

"It's not against the religion to drive cars, is it?"

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*

i have a story about that one from a person in my ward.

okay, these missionaries were out knocking on doors and they got invited into this one woman's house. they asked her if she'd heard any stories about them and she said she had. she'd heard they had horns.

so one of them had an idea, and while his companion looked on in puzzlement, the first asked, "do you want to feel them?" (the horns)

she said yes and he permitted her to run her fingers through his hair.

he asked her, "do you feel them?"
she said no.
"okay," he said, "keep looking"

she kept looking.

"can you feel them yet?" he asked.
she said no.

then he asked one more question that sealed the deal.

"do you feel stupid?"

kind of embarrassed, she sat down and had the discussions and got baptized. weird huh! but hilarious! rofl lol xd

"I know you guys don't belive in Christ and all...." the name of our Church has his name in it.

(Minister that I talked to on my mission)

My Nephew was baptized a mormon, and he got himself all good enough to go to that crazy temple of yours, and what he saw there made him go right back to mainstream Christianity...

They showed him all around the temple and told him he could go everywhere except one through one door - but he saw that the door was cracked so he went to go and look in it

He said that he saw people in large red hooded cloaks performing SATANIC rituals over DEAD bodies! Bet you didn't know that, now DID YA!

US: (My companion was trying not to laugh) Actually mam, they don't tour you around the temple like that. And we've been in every room in THAT temple, and I assure you that the color RED doesn't appear anywhere, and there are no satanic rituals being performed over dead bodies.

YEah... crazy....

I like how people don't think we're Christians.
But... we believe the same things other Christian religions do...
That's a no brainer.

But I heard that some people think we baptize dead people.
And that we worship seagulls.

I also like how people think we have no fun at all because we can't do certain things..
Like, waste ourselves on drugs or drink or have sex before marriage.
I mean, none of those things sounds very fun to me.
Just because we have standards doesn't mean we can't have fun.
Puh-lease.

My friend had this strange idea that we hold the number 4 sacred or something and we all have to have four children (which is odd because most of the families in our ward have more.)

They must be scared of us to make fun of us, don'tcha think?

Well it says in the scriptures that we are a peculiar people. We are different, the world doesn't know how to take us and most of the people who ask these questions have just heard rumors, and are trying to figure out what the truth is, we just have to do our best not to get offended and answer their questions to the best of our abilities.

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*

That's a really popular one up north. They also think that we have tails too. *shakes head and sighs*

*points* well you have a tail don't you?
PostPosted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 7:23 pm


My best friend, who is a wiccan, pokes fun at me for the horns he knows don't exist. He also did that in front of a catholic friend of mine, who asked if they really were there, in all seriousness.

To me, it's very silly how other people spread all the wrong rumors about us... but it's bound to happen with any religious following I guess. No doubt people are going to start calling us terrorists after they see September Dawn.

... yeah, that's going to be pretty. >_<

I think others think we're a threat, that is why all of this... well, crap is said about us.
They're afraid of us.

This topic should be retitled: 'Stupid things people say about us'
