I was with a small gathering a few nights ago, and we were laughing and talking about our wasted youth. I decided to reveal that I am an ex-Mormon, which is something I don't like to talk about due to the weirdness factor. It was exactly as I predicted, and just like the conversations I remember having when I was in high school and would mention that I was a Mormon. I don't think anything has changed in 30 years with the public perception of this religion.
My one friend said "I have a friend who is a Jehovah's Witness. Oh wait, that's different. Isn't it?"
She was interrupted by her husband who said "Now, that's different from Scientology, right?"
These are highly educated people. Both lawyers. They don't know the first thing about the Mormon church, don't know any Mormons, and have no clue whatsoever.
Then I talk on the phone with my TBM brother in Utah who acts like the whole world revolves around the Mormon church.
No, actually it doesn't.
