"My experiences with Mormons is limited. I have had the same experience as you, all quite nice people. I did get one seriously annoyed, when I asked him, 'Couldn't you do better than "Joe Smith"? That's what people sign in motel registers!'."
Too bad he didn't see the humor.
I got an Episcopalian seriously annoyed, when, referring to the "born again, evangelical" service at our Church, as opposed to the traditional one, I asked her: "Do you go to the 9 o'clock service or the Holy Roller one?"
Some people just don't have a sense of humor.
God does. Uh...at least...I hope He does...
That brings up something I was going to mention, but did not. It's a sad story. The priest we had left and was replaced by a new one, who had apparantly gotten wrapped up in Acts. He introduced a Pentecostal prayer group. Like-minded people from out of town began showing up in droves over a space of two years. The services began to become incomprehensible to many of the original communicants, who stopped attending. When a critical mass was reached the "congregation" voted to withdraw from the Diocese. In actual effect, we had the church stolen from us, and it took years to resolve the issue. By then, the church itself began its quest for "Secular Relevancy",(Unitarian with an English Accent) so I walked away from that entire scene. It also left me with a residuum of disgust for the people who did it. Going into a trance and speaking in tongues does not absolve someone from the "Thou shalt not steal" part. But I did not call them "Cultists".
The original ones whom I had known personally for years, I would call "Screwballs", though, because if it were not that particular practice, they would have been attracted to something else. Therapy would have been a better answer-many had serious issues.
