that costs a hundred million dollars so that mormons can baptize dead people's souls.

this is one of my biggest problems with the church, the have economic power to be a real force for good and charity and they waste it all this make believe stuff that i figured out was horse poo poo when i was 14.

(if any of the real mormons in here says "bishop's warehouse" i'm gonna personally punch them in the face)

What's wrong with the warehouses? A cursory googling made them seem like a good idea.

You know what I miss, Xenocides? My mom. Can I have her back please? I'll accede to whatever ransom demands your leaders want (it's monetary since your leaders are literally Mammon lol). I just don't want her to be brainwashed any more. :(

Also could you please tell her member friends to stop inviting themselves over to her house whenever they want. It's sort of weird--just like the rest of the church.

Mormons love being in the spotlight as this thread clearly demonstrates. Everyone I've talked to loved Matt Stone and Trey Parker's "The Book of Mormon." They're definitely "any publicity is good publicity" kind of people.

edit: If they're under thirty they saw it and loved it (or at least bought the CD). If they're over forty they haven't seen it and they're not gonna see it.

It's funny, because I don't think it would work near as well if the missionaries weren't white. I'm black and I was a member of the church till I was ~20, my mum's been a member since she was ~13, and a couple of my aunts since a similar early age. Yet we've never seen non-white missionaries.

Do they get sent off to foreign countries in greater rates or something?

Most Mormons won't give it a chance, already "knowing" that they don't like it. My roommate gave me weird looks when I put on the soundtrack one night, saying something like "isn't that really bad?" I personally think its great. The satire is really spot on, and it doesn't malign us or anything. It would be very easy for an uptight Mormon to point out everything the musical got wrong, but the point wasn't to be accurate, the point was to be entertaining, at which it excels.

No real consensus. It got us some free publicity. Most of us are pretty hard to offend though exceptions exist. We mock our own culture all the time so while some are miffed about outsiders doing it or getting it wrong most just don't care or are bemused. We are probably not going out in droves to see it but we are not going to grab signboards and picket it either.

The South Park creators have a weird love/hate relationship with our faith. They seem to like us but see as kind of crazy. They have some grasp of the faith but the details get hazy. They know the culture more then the religion. I think the LDS opinion on them is roughly:

"You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls."

I remember seeing a lot of local stories of Mormons who had gone to see it, and their reactions were generally lukewarm to good.

Your mere existence is offensive. Every breath you take, every effort you think you're making for your Lord is actually an act of violence and vengeance against the one true God.

After seeing Book of Mormon I was surprised that so many Mormons were down for it when the main character's story essentially mirrors that of Joseph Smith's, in that he makes up a bunch of wacky poo poo and a new religion is formed around it.

I think you have to be an Apostle or something and then rebel against the church to end up in outer darkness. Mormons in this thread confirm/deny?

I think most people are going to be saved according to Mormonism, just in lesser kingdoms. That's fine with me.

Anyway, if you are serious, I definitely feel your pain and anger. I've watched the local leadership ordain a child molester a high priest because he confessed to the bishop that 'it only happened once'.

Don't have to be an apostle. Do have to have a confirming witness of the Gospel that cannot be logically denied. In most cases this means Jesus has visited you in his glory. So basically you have to live so that you get such an experience and then turn against it. No one outside the LDS faith (and its equivalent in other time periods) can get this. Cain is believed to be one. Judas Iscariot is a maybe. So not a lot.

tango alpha delta posted:

Yep, some will go to hell first but unless you qualify as above you do get out. There are kingdoms of glory and how well you do in this life largely determines where (some is how you do after death). We have been told that the least of the kingdoms is far better then this life is now. So, pretty no matter how badly you screw up you are going to a better place. The only caveat is how much better.
