A different breed of people right there.... I went to school in utah for a time and i'll have to say they are deffinitly different. I know the religion pretty well since it was shoved down my throat while i was there so i think i may be able to anwser a question or two!!

Since I moved to Idaho this is the first time I have been exposed to "Latter-day Saints" as they say. I guess I always associated Mormons with Omish and Quakers, but they actually seem pretty normal, friendly, and yes very anxious to share the beliefs with others.

Wasnt the founder the town drunk who wandered into the woods one night and came back with extra chapters to the bible? Interesting to say the least. It is a cult.

I actually agreed to meet with the missionaries(two 20 year-old kids dressed in suits) for the Mormon Church next week, not sure why, other than curiosity. Religion is very intriguing to me, so it should be fun.

That says it all. My parents moved out to UT 6-7 years ago so I'm in the area a lot. The one big (or the biggest thing) I have a problem with is that they OWN EVERYTYHING in the area. Newpapers, TV, radio, everything. So needless to say if they don't something in the paper or on TV, it's not.

So I met with the Mormon missionaries this afternoon, I guess "Elders" is what they are called. It was surprisingly enlightening, they let me do most of the talking, and did not try to brain wash or baptise me. I agreed to meet with them again next week, so if anybody has any questions that they think I ought to ask, let me know. On another note, one of the "Elder's" is currently gray-shirting for the University of Utah Football team, and is no stranger to the iron, so I guess some Mormons work out.
