On another note- I have been curious about this:
Why is it that many of your posts are loaded with mis-spelling (like this one for example) while some of your threads are concise and spelled correctly (like your NFL pick thread). Please don't take offense, but it's like two different people submit your posts...?? This has really piqued my curiosity

Actually, what it is is that sometimes I type real fast and I dont notice the misspellings. But when I do, I do change them. But thank you for bringing it to my attention.

If you really wanna be pissed, just say get the f**K off my property. That may be rude, but at least no one gets shot.

Yeah, but it was funny as hell when they made fun of her on SNL.

It was also funny as hell when they made fun of Mormons. Did you see the one where the Mormons ski up to an olympian with the Book of Mormon? Omigod, so funny. I used to work for a company with Mormon roots and it was difficult to get along with some of them if you were not Mormon. I hate the pushing of the religion as well. No reason to shoot someone though!

A friend of mine recently had to "counsel" a foreign student who had been approached by a Mormon in the subway. After the Mormon left, my friend asked the woman if she was okay, she proceeded to move to sit immediately next to her and asked in a thick accent, "Who was that? What was that?". She was frightened! It's just odd to approach complete strangers in this way.

No I never saw that. Hmm, Yeah, I could see where that might startle someone.

Totally. Fortunately my friend had a lot of experience with it since she also worked for that company and spent alot of time in Provo, and even toured the temple! But she did not go into the inner rooms because only Mormon men can.

I've only been to Salt Lake City once and it was WEIRD. I remember a huge temple that seemed to tower over EVERYTHING there. I know Mormon's are preferential to not drinking and that bars close early in Utah and liquor is kept under very strict supervision.

Provo is worse than SLC from what I am told. There aren't any bars, you can get liquor at a restaurant but you need to join their "club". It's all very very strange.

Funny anecdote... as some older Ledgies might recall, I used to have shoulder-length hair and a beard.
Now you kind of have to picture our house... when you come in the door, there's a very small foyer and then you can see up the stairs, where there's a stained glass window at the top.

So... here I am, long brown hair and a beard, answering the door to three Mormon girls on a Saturday afternoon, with the mid-day sun shining through the stained glass window that's basically behind my head.
Well, the look on their faces was PRICELESS.

If I had had my wits about me, I would have said, "may I help you, my children?"

That's hilarious!!! I can only imagine the look on their faces...

I believe she toured the Tabernacle, not the Temple. Non LDS are not allowed in the Temples. Only worthy LDS are. They have to show their recommends before going inside the Temples to do work. Women also work in the Temples. Women are not allowed in Priesthood meetings but go to their own meetings during Sundays called Relief Society, which was started to help the charities. From my understanding, most LDS women run churches and homes behind the scenes anyway. They are the backbone of that religion. The men would be lost without the women. Just like in real life. lol

Well thanks for the education. I'll let them know that mere heathens are not allowed in the temples so they should stop lying about where they were! Their story about that visit is the best. Apparently there is a very large statue of Jesus in there with a star spangled domed ceiling (I probably have some details of this wrong too). Anyway, my friend Lauren had her camera with her and Mike asked her if she'd be taking a picture, she said she wanted to save them, and he said, "What, Jesus isn't good enough?" Oh man that group was so irreverant! The best!
