I dont remember meeting any mormons when I was in the Air force...
But after I got out and graduated from college..I took the LSAT..
The room was crowded with happy people talking to friends and wishing each other luck etc...
Suddenly just near me, a fat guy in a sloppy USAF uniform stood up and started yelling at all of us...
he said that he was in the USAF and had just flown in from Germany...(I was ashamed for him for the way he looked..too bad I was no longer in the USAF)
He said that he was a member of the “church” of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, (I could hear some of the students ask one another whats that ??? I sunk down into my seat, but he was just getting warmed up)
and that his bishop had prayed for him right before he got on the plane..that he would ace the test..
he continued..because his bishop had prayed for him he would get high points but because the rest of us were not LDS and because his bishop had not prayed for us, we would not do well at all..we may as well go home now..
The big old football players near the door started yelling back at him..I tried to sink through the floor ..they had to paqss me to get to him..
He yelled back that his bishop had told him that we were all going to fail...
Luckily the test folk arrived...
Looking back, the guy probably took the response as “persecution”, and then added the bit abouty his bishop “prophesying” our failure..(Lying for the Lord)
Oooo...Kaaaayyyy
After spending time here on FR with LDS folks, I now have to agree. A couple of years ago, I would have said you were exaggerating. Now I know better.
