Alternative Missionary Position Approach

Post by _moksha »

I just ran across an ad for the First Baptist Church in the new Salt Lake City Weekly:

First Baptist Church

All of the good stuff*
None of the bad**

* Love, faith, acceptance, support, music, coffee, casseroles.

** Guilt, fear, boxes, dogma, jello with vegetables in it.


Would something like this work for us LDS? What would we put down under our asterisks?

I don't know what would work for LDS, but jello with vegetables should always be associated with the negative asterisks.

The title of your thread is misleading.

I was hoping for a photo.

Makes you wonder why Joseph Smith felt the need to correct it...

Why are boxes bad? What are we supposed to put our stuff in, a sack?

Please explain.

Also, Baptists claim to be dogma-free? Whatever!

Thanks, I was also wondering about that one.

I was bending over as I initially read the ad. Anyway, it does have to do with membership recruitment in a manner other than sending out missionaries. It never hurts to get on top of these things.
