kittylin serenmarie reviving an old thread. Here in the little town I grew up in one of the preachers taught his congregation that Mormons will eat their last supper on Mars and eat aborted catholic babies. Nice huh? Woah! How can people believe stuff like that? It's ridiculous to believe, but I'm impresed with whoever's creative enough to come up with something so random as that. I heard a prety funny missionary story one time. There were these missionaries, and they were discussing the progress of one of the couples they were having discussions with to a priesthood leader, and one of them said, "I'm afraid that after what we told them, they'll never want to join the church now. I'm prety sure we've just driven them away." When asked why, he replied, "Well, we were giving them some scriptures to read, and instead of telling them to read 1 Nephi 3:7, and instead, we accidentally told them to read 3 Nephi 3:7." Oops! Wonder what weird things they must've thought about Mormons after that!

I once watched a movie (which by the way I own lucky me!) called Ameriacan Mormon, it's about two guys who go around and ask people what they think being mormon is like. One guy was talking about lizard people from another planet and how we evolved from them and it was weird! I have no clue how he got that idea!

I grew up in the midwest, and i've been asked the following *snicker*
1.) Are you in trouble with your church because you only have one mom?
2.) How do you deal with more than one mom?
3.) Mormon? Don't you guys have horns and tails or something? (I thought that was just a freak encounter! i didn't know lots of ppl had that misconception!! eek!)
4.)How can you go to school with electricity, I thought mormons couldn't use it?!
5.) You guys don't celebrate Easter do you? (to which i replied: "well, the name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" and the guy looked dumfounded....so i explained that we are christians ><)
hehe, if i think of anymore i'll post those too.
and one funny/sad story:
I was in my biology class and we were doing something a project about chromosomes where we were paired up with a member of the opposite sex to further illustrate the chromosome sharing and babies deal (Its too much to explain in detail but its the Cc, Bb thing you learned with peas and flowers wink so one girl in our class was partnerless so the teacher just grouped her with an already existing 'couple' and said
"well, i guess you can be the mormon group! hahaha" and got the whole class in an uproar...yeah, hilarious...needless to say i was outraged, and after class i went up to her (trying not to be rude) and explained to her that I was mormon, thought her comment was extremely inappropriate and that mormon's don't practice polygamy. (hehe, and here's the cool part) she started apologizing profusely and claimed she didn't know. haha, so the next day she said to the class how she was sorry for making the comment about mormons the previous day and that she was sorry if she offended anyone!
YAY FOR US! LOL i'll never get over how cool it felt to tell one of my teachers (who i didn't like anyway) that she was being inappropriate! *giggles*

I'm not sure that it's right to sit back and laugh and call people stupid for having misconceptions about the church.
It's actually extremely easy for radical ideas to be passed around and believed - ever played the game telephone? In fact, there are even a lot of untruths that are circulated within the church that everyone accepts as gold.
If anything, these funny things can be used as a missionary tool to open up discussion. Laughing at ignorance and labeling these people as stupid or crazy only shuts down communication and sends the message that we are arrogant.

Laughing at ignorance and labeling these people as stupid or crazy only shuts down communication and sends the message that we are arrogant. A very good point. I think the purpose of this thread is to laugh at the things that are said, not at the people who say them. Even President Packer has joked about being asked if he had horns during a General Conference address. I heard a story last night about a boy whose mom told him when he was little that the (whichever one it was) temple was really a witch's castle, and if he was bad, his mom would leave him there for the witch to get. So one day in high/middle (whichever it was) school he mentioned the witch's castle, and people got confused. So he explained which building it was, his friends replied, "Oh? You mean the temple?" How embarrassing!
