Salt Lake City, UT - The Mormon church has once again gotten its hands caught in the cookie jar. Political watchdogs are calling for an investigation into the Mormon Church as well as Mormon members of Congress for using US Diplomats to further their religious agenda ( Read more... )

Why are they sending missionaries to Switzerland of all places? I thought like to pray on poor and vulnerable third-world children?

For a minute there I thought you misspelled 'prey on'. Both 'prey' and 'pray' work in this context though.

You're totally right. I did mean 'prey'.

My comment fails now :(

Nah, I think it wins for having double meanings! :P

I think they send them pretty much everywhere. They walk around my neighborhood sometimes. Give me forms to send away for a free Book of Mormon or something. I sort of get the impression that their program is more a character-building exercise for the missionaries than a strategic effort to maximize the number of converts, but what the hell do I know.

They send them everywhere. There was a total Mormon run on my town (in tiny provincial Germany) this summer for no apparent reason. I think the church just throws a dart at a map and hopes it doesn't hit water.

They can do it for loads of reasons- I've had friends go on mission trips in 1st world countries in order to build houses for people in poorer districts or aid in setting up soup kitchens and the like. The groups we've sponsored have always been discreet about their faith- they're not allowed to harass people or even approach people about their beliefs unless asked outright, in order to not alienate the communities they go into.

Nope. One of my friends went to France.

Because Mormons believe that Jeebus won't return to earth until they've spread The Gospel™ to all corners of the world.
