Why do missionaries invite people to watch Conference?

[_Yoda]

A mere 10 minutes of GC can make me impotent for days, and I'll f*** anything that moves.

Next time you decide to tune into conference, have an extra shot of testosterone ready to go! LOL

When I was a missionary, I invited people to watch conference because that's what my mission president wanted me to do. In fact, he wanted us to use the time between sessions to find people on the street to invite inside. I was bummed that I couldn't have a break from knocking doors and annoying people on the street for just one weekend.

I don't know about you, but I felt incredibly guilty any time I got any time to relax that wasn't P-day. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Next time you decide to tune into conference...

This alone was enough to get me LOLing.

You may as well have started your sentence, "Next time you decide to pluck your eyes out with red hot tongs..."

;)

Well, then I guess your worry of being impotent is moot! ;-)

My MP told us that once we had the laundry done, the grocery shopping done, and no more than 2 letters home per week written before 5 PM, p-day was over early and we were to go out tracting. Despite this and a few other turdy things like it, I did like my MP personally. His sense of humor came out very clearly in the months I was in the mission office.

I think missionaries invite people to watch GC in hopes of the attendee feeling "the spirit" and being led toward Mormonism. I had a missionary along with the bishop bring an audio recording of "the prophet" to my home for me to listen to. I believe the thought again was for me to feel the spirit and be drawn toward Mormonism. I don't think I was conditioned to get the warm fuzzies when the president of the LDS church speaks though.
