Strange stories told are pretty universal to any organization with members. On my (often Douche bag) senior companions/DL/ZL etc told me some pretty great 'revelations' they had about me or Mormonism in general. Here are a few.
They were the 'prophet' of our zone/district/area etc.
They could receive revelation for me
That while other colleges are okay, BYU was the only place where a good Mormon should pursue and education. This because other schools have their own agendas.
I was a sinner
I was a saint
I had great things ahead of me on my mission
I wasn't going to be successful
I wouldn't ever make more than $100,000/year and he would make over $1M. (This one is a story all to itself)
I was funny, but I shouldn't try to be humorous in my everyday missionary work because it detracts from the spirit.
That I since I grew up in Texas I didn't have as close a connection to the 'brethren' as those who grew up in Utah.
Voting Democrat was a sin
Drinking caffeine (which I did regularly on my mission) was a sin.
Drinking caffeine wasn't a sin, but it looks bad to investigators
Breaking mission rules is the same as sinning because when you're a missionary your rules ARE your commandments. (My MP must've felt this way, too. I had my TR revoked for 6 months after going swimming once.)
Disobedient missionary's converts eventually go inactive because the missionary didn't teach with the spirit
When a disobedient missionary's convert goes inactive the missionary must take the blame before God
John Stockton is a Mormon
John Stockton isn't a Mormon but he is taking the lessons
John Stockton may not become a Mormon in this life but his work will be done and God will favor him
That they've had a vision for our mission and they can see whole neighborhoods lining up to get baptized.
Anyone have some good ones to add?
