The 'good sense of humor' shit cracks me up. All they see is a chance for more converts. they aren't 'in' on the joke in the slightest.

Would you prefer they do the traditional thing and send angry protestors to picket outside the theater?

It's easy to be a good sport about a joke when you're capitalizing on the joke.
Zamm005
They sorta have no choice. Have you seen it? It's factually accurate (though obviously 'irreverent' if that word can be used?) throughout.
Zamm005
('Irreverent' literally means 'to show disrespect to something usually respected'... but I'm not sure that Mormons are usually respected?)

I thought they stalked Matt and Trey after the south park episode came out. I think they have to be good sports about it at this point.

That’s true. I’m Mormon and thought the play was hilarious. We have some souvenir magnets from the play on our fridge still.

We took some Mormon missionaries to see it when our friends couldn't go. The one had never been to a musical before in his life.
spiderqueendemon
They both really liked the performance, though it was what it is. The whole FGM plotline really upset them when they found out that's real.
SweatyMooseKnuckle
FGM? I was raised mormon (haven't gone in YEARS), I don't know what FGM means.
spiderqueendemon
The musical mentions Female Genital Mutilation, which is a practice in some parts of Africa. Understandably an upsetting topic.
SweatyMooseKnuckle
Is FGM supposed to be a recognizable acronym? It’s THAT common? Wtf
spiderqueendemon
Very sadly, yes. I've been signing petitions and doing awareness against it since I was thirteen. I am thirty-one.
spiderqueendemon
My experience of Mormon missionaries has been that they're just the sweetest, nicest kids, but oh, SO naive. Breaks my heart, really.
spiderqueendemon
Like when the last pair's car got stolen, they came to us because they had no idea what to do. Turned out it was just towed, luckily.

Our house must be on some kind of list, as we do tend to see EVERY pair of missionaries that comes to our area.

It was said by a prophet but Mormons stumble a lot on "every word is prophesy" and facts a lot. It also said we didn't land on the moon.

Exmormon now, but I recall a lot of things said in seminary and institute that were sited as prophesy that were prophets opinions.
