My friends were at a friend's house on Monday and they were visited by door-to-door Mormans. Instead of doing the normal thing and telling them to fuck off, they were cordially invited inside. One of the girls even went as far as to invite them over to her house. They set up a time and everything. Thursday, today. She told everyone at school that there was a "Mormon party" at her house this thursday and that we were all invited. People asked off work and everything. Mormon parties are apparently serious business around here.

So, today was the day. Me and my friend arrived around the time the pizza was delivered. There ended up being nine of us there-- counting the mormons, Troy and Jedidiah. They did their little planned lesson. One of the things they did was made this pyramid out of cups. The foundation was Jesus, Smith, modern apostles, and the Bible and book of Mormon. Jesus and Smith were connected by a little card. They used this for an analogy for when jesus died but the church was still well founded because when they removed the jesus cup the other cups still stood. What they didn't realize is that Joseph Smith is dead, too. If they had removed his cup the whole thing would have fallen over.

I listened to their lesson without pointing out any of the ridiculous things in it, like the golden scripture plates that were written by native americans but god conveniently beamed them up into heaven. I know that I'm not going to convince them of anything; their whole lives are invested in their religion. We offered them pizza and they both ate a slice before they left. Best of all, I think they are coming back next Thursday.

Is there anything you guys want me to ask them? They seem to be willing to answer any legit questions as long as you don't act like you're trying to deconvert them.
