Mormonism: Girl, You Know It’s True

Posted by on April 28 at 8:21 AM

Yesterday I came home and found something on the front porch.

It was placed against the door, like something from UPS would have been, only this was a postcard produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

On the front of the card was a photo of Temple Square at night.

On the back was this printed text:

What is the purpose of life? What is the true nature of God? Can families be together forever? Where do we go after this life? Answers to these and other eternally significant questions can be found by visiting www.mormon.org. We’d love to have you visit us.

Underneath the printed text, in tiny handwritten capitals, was this:

THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT FRED MEYER!

And the whole postcard was stuck into a cassette tape of Milli Vanilli’s Girl You Know It’s True.

What could this possibly mean??

The great thing about Mormonism is that, thanks to a belief in living prophets and continuing revelation, I can eventually just make up an explanation, then insist it was delivered to me by God.

But first I want to hear your guesses…

Someone loves you and is just messing with your mind.

I wish my friends left me stuff like this! That's hilarious.

There can only be one answer: Fabrice Morvan has become a Mormon and his mission is to ease the transition during Fred Meyer's secret merger with the LDS church.

GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S...

The missionaries (elders?) came to my door yesterday when i was in the middle of a rigorous house cleaning. I was about to say i was Jewish and shoo shoo shoo them away when i remembered someone telling me they will help you round the house and stuff. I had a BIG old table in my basement i couldn't move myself and so i asked if they would give me a hand and they did! And they seemed HAPPY about it. Then they helped me get some other stuff moved around and left me with some literature and few wrods of LDS wisdom and were on their way! I am not advocating taking total advantage of these kids, but if you need a hand, heck, they are happy to lend one. Their literature is kooky and they're almost inhumanly nice, but i sure am glad they came by when they did.

It is meant to show how the Lord speaks through his living prophets in much the same way that those nameless studio musicians spoke through the lip-synching mouths of both Milli and Vanilli.

Longball, don't feel bad in the least. You did those missionaries a favor. "Through serving others, we can experience joy and draw closer to God," reads Mormon.org, and humble service is one of Mormonism's short cuts to holiness. So it's a total win-win situation.

It's the new Da Vinci Code. Temple Square, Fred Meyer, Milli Vanilli. The pieces are all there, if we could JUST FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY MEAN!

P.S. Watch out for albinos.

I think it means the crazy person I always see at Freddie's has cleaned out their junk drawer.

Well - the most intereresting info about the two guys is --- there are two guys who have crushes on each other and get sexual

Been there, done that

And who is to say that among the 1,000 variations of prophets, religious theory, and the vast pot of world wide organized religions - who is to say they don't hve their fair shae of " truth".

I have had a hard time figuring out Aztec blood sacrifice and the Hindu pantheon of gods and goddesses - to name a few seemingly strange and complicated beliefs

So, where is all the truth? Mormons have a better chance, IMHO, than the Vatican. No inquisitions, no crusades - for starters.

Yeah, no Catholic or Baptist ever helped me with my Spring cleaning, but one time i got a fantastic blow job from a Methodist, surely an act of Christian charity cause i ain't no lady killer, dats fo sho.

I think they're on to you....

Hmmm.... let's see....

Aztec blood sacrifice?

-or-

Help moving a giant table?

Aztec blood sacrifice/Help moving a giant table. . .

Some days it's just so hard to decide what you want outta a religion.

Today, Sarcastro, you have used your powers for good, not for evil!
