It amazes me at how misunderstood
our church actually is. Are we a little weird or out there. Yes, but then which of the mainstream religions aren't? Maybe because they are so well known and people know their practices so well, they don't seem odd.
As an outsider the Temple and underclothes would be weird. However, that is all I can think of off the top of my head.
On the other hand most people have to know some "mormon" somewhere who is a pretty normal person. We don't drink or smoke, well neither does Donald Trump. There are the Osmonds, Steve Young, Senator Reid, Gov. Romney, Gladys Knight and many others that people would have to think are mainstream folks. I mean no horns or multiple wives or anything weirder than normal folks.
Of course it was CNN that reported this last night and although a lot of you on this board are CNN types, I am skeptical of their reporting. Anyway they reported that the respectibility as a religion, mormons ranked barely above Muslims. I don't get it.
