“One time my husband and I were visiting non active members and we happened upon this barbeque group who were drunk and we told them we were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints looking for so-and-so. This drunk man started cursing at us and he said, “We’re Christians around here - go away, get lost, you Mormons!” Scott and I later laughed about it but when you think about it, it’s really really sad.”
The astounding thing is that even though they were drunk, they still recognized you as cultists!
Nice to meet people of conviction.
Here’s a funny story:
My family and I were tent camping in a nice family campground in Northern Utah. By 10:30 most people had put away the marshmallows, banked the campfire and tucked in for the night.
However, one rowdy group kept hooting and hollering and cursing and laughing until well after midnight. We tossed and turned and put pillows over our ears, and finally got up and tapped on the trailer of the campground manager.
They put a quick stop to the party and after about 20 minutes the whole place settled down with sighs of relief.
Suddenly, one of the partiers yelled at the top of his lungs, “EFFING MORMONS!!!”
You could have heard a mouse burp in the echoing silence, and then one tiny voice from a few sites away from us said, “We’re Catholic”
