....... my TBM sister might laugh (borrowed it from an earlier thread here about Mormon jokes).

"Why did JS cross the road? To get to the other bride."

But no response! I thought this would be a funny middle ground that we could both chuckle at -- after all, it's a historical fact that JS had about 33 wives.

Do Mormons even see something as lame as this as "anti-Mormon"? I mean it doesn't say the church is a fraud, which, of course, it is. It's just good-natured humour using histrical facts.

Wow, some Mormons need to take a chill pill.

You'll learn fast enough that Mormons have no funny bone. It has been flogged out of them.

It's been my experience that mormons are not funny people.

Yes - they might be good to laugh at, and their beliefs are indeed laughable, but they wouldn't know a good joke if it hit them in the nuts.

They roar with laughter when some octogenarian with type 4 diabetes wiggles his fuggin ears for godsake.

Most of all, Mormons can't laugh at themselves. In fact they would most likely consider the thought to be sacrilegious.

Good one, Mia!

...she was just refraining from all loud laughter?

I have NEVER seen a TBM laugh so hard they peed their pants. It is mostly just a little haha and silence

Truth is anti-Mormon

Even as a TBM, I laughed a lot. Probably wouldn't have laughed at that joke, though. Of course I had no idea about the extent of JS plural wives.
