Before I start, I would like to point out that I have no real problem with mormons, other than the fact that they wake me up at 10 in the morning. I am a nonpracticing christian, before you come here ranting about how gay religion is; save it, I don't care.
It was ten-ish (according to my family, that is an exact time), and I hear a rapping at my appartment door, hoping it was just a hung-over dream, I roll over and go back to sleep. Mere seconds elapse when I hear the knocking again, so I trudge to the door (in nothing but my boxers) to meet my foe, loe and behold, a mormon and his trusty comrade.
They almost push themselves into my door giving me pamphlets and stuff, so I decide to go with it. I invite them in, in my unpresentable state, offering them a seat at my couch. I plop down in a recliner and pull a beer out of the mini-fridge between the 2 chairs. I offer them one, and would you believe it? they said mormons don't drink, I don't know if that's them or all mormons, but if it's all mormons, count me out.
So I flip on the game while they preach and pull more pamphlets out of their hip-pouches. I'll be damned if the bastards didn't stay and watch the whole fuggin soccer game with me. After a while I kinda got used to it. We talked and such for well over an hour. Yes, they finally left, but that has to be the wierdest thing that's ever happened to me... I can't believe they actually stayed

If you want an interesting look at the Mormons, check out 'Under the Banner of Heaven.' It's a real eye-opener.

Mormon = Cult. Much more so than other organized religions.

+2 for not being a coward. And for doing something I would NEVER do.

no they didn't cheer, not even choose sides. It made me a little suspicous.

Alright, the cult thing was just a joke. My apologies.
Kris: No matter how much you try and take your rage out on me, it won't change the fact that you're still a bitch.

maiorano,
Go look up the definition of "cult". Any organized religion could fall under that category.
You defend that little personal anectdote as though it's so audacious and clever someone would doubt it were true. It was LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

This has tempted me to write my own post about a similar experience.....
I hope Marshal Faulk doesn't score a TD tonight...or I'm going to lose this week in my fantasy football league...

maiorano, mormons are not cult members. I am a mormon, I do not follow a lot of their rules, but i know enough to know that they are not cult members.

If you had brutally murdered them and placed their heads on pikes for groups of children to ogle at, this would have gotten a +2.
But you didn't. NO 2 FOR YOU!!!
So my friend asks me one day, "Are any of your family members in a cult?"
I replied with, "Yeah. My aunt. She's a Mormon."
I swear on all that is holy, that's a true story.
