But you know what's not cool?
When you go in to the tax lady's office (the person who is helping you with your fairly complicated taxes---what's she called?) and she comes across your "charitable donations" form, and sees that you are Mormon.
And then says, "Oh I've been to 'that church' (which I realize means temple square in Salt Lake) a few times."
And continues: "I had a few clients there who invited me.
2 of them were crooks and they are in jail now."
And then you sit there with shock on your face and wonder how much you really want to know.
And she continues to continue: "The were using the church list to get people into their business (GROSS) and then set up a Ponzi scheme."
Ew.
And it gets worse.
"And I was really surprised to find out that some of them had lots of wives and lots of houses. Pretty crazy stuff happening in Utah."
And even though you try to explain that they were NOT, in fact, real Mormons if they were living polygamist lives, she just responds with raised eyebrows, pursed lips and...
"You'd be surprised."
Well. I certainly wasn't expecting THAT when I went to the tax office. You got that right.

you'd be surprised what you dont' know about your own religion! trust me! i've been there a few times! with crooks!
this is all perfect logic.
(yuck, dude. you're like, lady, i'm paying you to do my taxes, not to insult me.)
awesome
yuck... i had a hairdresser with maybe a high school education tell me that i needed to watch dateline to learn more about the mormons. And then she gave me big hair.
i would have been like, "i'll show you crook if you don't shut it and work your fingers on that calculator lickity split."
very good friend of mine liked it..
Facepalm Moment. Ugh! There's a guy in my ward doing the whole ponzi scheme too. The IRS arrested him for felony tax evasion a few months ago. Believe me, it happens even with "real" mormons too...
I can only attest to the Mormons that I know, and they are crooooook-Ed. If you saw the shenanigans they've tried to pull during a scrabble game . . . well it's not pleasant. Let's just say a very popular consonant went missing from the board for a few turns only to turn up again at an opportune moment. Can't take your eyes off those guys for a second.
