heh, I helped save some Mormons today
they went off the road in front of my house. Gave 'em my shovel and a tie to pull them out....just as I was going to get my vehicle, another good samaritan in a truck pulled up and lent a hand.

When they returned my shovel and tie, one of the guys said, "this may not be the best time, but we'd like to talk to you......"

I said, I'm not religious at all. In fact, my grandmother says I'm going to hell because I wasn't baptized"

:evilgrin:

They gave me a pamphlet and left. I then gave the pamphlet to BB Maine-ah, who dutifully shred it. :evilgrin:

1. September Dawn

Have you seen it? It's a powerful heart wrenching story and one that I'd have been tempted to invite Mormons stuck in a ditch in to get warm while watching the movie together.

2. Ohhhhh, Mormons.
You've actually seen them round these parts, soul-harvesting? I've never been solicited at all by any religion, in any circumstance. :D

3. Wait 'til you go to college.
Unless it was just mine.

But people would just strike up any random conversation with you until about ten minutes in they'd say, "So uh, there's this bible study tomorrow night..."

It got on my nerves 'cause I was like, "So uh, is that the only reason you're talking to me?" :P

4. Swim away, Swim away!
You've just summoned "Gods" Kingdom Hall robots, make it a habit to be "away" Fridays.

6. They definitely clamp on to any opportunity....
I worked at a bike shop for a while, so when they came in to have their bikes tweaked I was pretty much a captive audience. Some of them were very nice guys, but I just really didn't want or need to hear their mantra repeatedly....
