Sorry, from what I have read, T is right you would be an easy mark, you are exactly the temperment I would have picked out to ‘friendship’ and try to convert.
I’m sorry but its true.
I can admit that I was an easy mark, I was nominally Christian, didn’t know my bible that well, though Jesus was all about ‘peace and love’ and getting along, thought the outward appearance of conservatism and families meant that Mormonism had ‘good fruit’, was looking for religion and ‘the truth’, and didn’t see the Osmonds as the ‘spawn of Satan’.
yeah, I would have jumped on you with a BoM like white on rice.
I was an easy mark for them and so are many others.
I must give the mormon church credit however, they only did it once compared to 7 (I think) times for the witnesses.
