I've just had a pair of Mormons come round.
I asked them inside and they spoke to me about their religion. They were younger than I am, and here from the States for two years.

I often stop and speak to monks and missionaries and whatnot that you meet in the street trying to preach, and I always just listen and ask questions without directly challenging what they say, but I've never met anybody so implacably sincere and forceful in their faith. I found them a little bit unnerving. Especially because one of them didn't seem to have a name. His nametag just said Elder _____, and when they introduced themselves he didn't say anything.

Anyway, they left me a Book of Mormon and their phone number and a note of some scripture verses to look up. Religion. Good times?

I've been watching Meet the British
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kv0d0/Meet_the_British/

I like how the Science Correspondent in the 1980's who was in charge of predicting what the year 2000 would bring was called Peter Theory

Some Mormons came round once,
but I was upstairs and Spacefish didn't tell me and I wasn't dressed anyway, and they didn't want to come in, which I thought was unusual.
I've already got a book of Mormon though.

I hadn't done my hair,
but either they didn't notice or were too polite to say anything.

I hope they didn't make fun of me after they left. :(

it just seems we spend more time fighting these days than we ever used to, are either of us really happy anymore, or just going with the flow for the sake of the familiar
can we recapture the goodtimes? i'd like to think so, but i'm so confused, when it works i'm happy but the volatility, it makes me cry

A couple of them came to my house the other day, my wife answered the door.
"We are Mormons," they said.
She answered, "No thank you, I've got one already."
(She'd thought they said "morons".)

As usual, my dad got obsessed with it, and did LOADS.
He taught himself how to cast, and set stones etc. I have a nice silver ring he made, it has an arrow on it, all curled up. The tip and flight are gold, it's cool.
