from what I understand of the LDS church this SP is fairly spot on.

O.K. Here is a question...

I ask this inquisitively, not to offend anyone, just curious.

How correct/incorrect was South Park's interpretation of mormonism?

Great question. Link to video?

Seems like most R3V'ers are full fledged members of the Church of Non-Spellers or the Grammer Duzn't Mattur Becuz This Be's Tha Interwebz-ions.

lolz. I love having fun with the Jehovah's Witnesses. I come from a very non-religious family - I've been inside a church once in my life, with my grandmother when I was about 8. So...not a big fan of most organized religions. Don't have a problem with anyone who is religious as long as you keep your religion a personal thing.

I love religious solicitors.

I invite them in for a beer and some bongrips, but for some reason they decline.

I have never had a morman try to convert me but have had lots of Jhovis(sp) witness stop by. Answer the door with a big ass pistol on you hip and when they say something about eternal damnation, tell them that reminds you that you have to call you contractor and spec out your carpets because you hare having a condo built in hell.

I can't wait for the day that some mormons come to my house to try to recruit me.

Not alot of diversity in this part of the country, our biggest minority is Native Americans.

They MOs haven't come by my house to try to recruit since early '06 when I answered the door on a Saturday morning in boxers with a joint in hand.

I will stay outta this one for now, as I have a hard time buying religions of all flavors.

But if thats what floats you boat and gets you through the day then more power to you.

I respect people's decisions and their freedom to worship whatever religion to choose, but with that said, I did a research project with a friend in High School (who was Mormon) on Mormonism, and I have to say, it is one of the biggest farces ever. Personally, I cannot understand how people can believe that religion. However, to each their own.

I have a couple friends who are Mormon and are on their mission trips right now. They are told to go some place in the world for 2 years with no internet connection, only 2 phone calls a year, and can only write letters. That wouldn't go over well with me.

When i was in my early teens i spent a couple of weeks of summer vacation with my aunt and cousins in FL. They was LDS. So i got to attend their church. When i was intorduced, they allways said, Hi this is my nephew/cousin Jason, and he isn't a member of the church. So we went to service and them sunday school. Then again i was intoduced the same way infront of everyone. I felt that it wasn't very open armed welcome.

I know we have Mormon members on here, But lets try to keep this thread civil and not flat out attack anyone.

i lived in Mesa AZ for 3 years. the MO capital of AZ. i can mirror the feeling you had. i had neighbors that would not talk to me even if we were at the mail box at the same time. they would send, first: people over to try to recruit me, then young cute girls to do the same. they would throw trash in our yard and generally make us feel unwelcome because we were not MO's. my roommate, who owned the house, worked for the city of MESA and experienced discriminatory practices within the city because he was not a MO. he was passed over for many promotions and forced to do the oncall fire mechanic rotation more than anyone else. they were constantly trying to get him to join the cult at work. when that did not succeed the pressure was turned up even more to the point where he quit after working there for 8 years and got a job with the city of Chandler doing the same thing and loosing his seniority, to get away from it.

he still owns the house and lives there with only the mexican family that will talk to him (the MO's don't like him either and one of their daughters jumped his daughter after school).

it took me answering the door naked one EARLY Sunday morning, when they were trying to recruit us, to get them to stop.

not to say that they are all bad, but that has been my experiences living with them in "their" city. i also have MO friends that do not do anything like that to me or anyone else.

Ok, I see you are not well versed in the doctrines of the LDS Church, but thanks for your attempt anyway. I guess you didn't go use the search function to see how a past posted thread based on a religion subject has worked in the past. I can make it easier on ya with a link or two...
