When you're a kid, which all the missionaries you've met are, being a mormon is not all that big a deal. Kids need direction and the mormon church gives it to them. Most of it is good. The mission is pretty much their transition from being a mormon for fun to being a mormon to make money for the Corporation.
If you want a bit of hilarity, ask the elders or sisters who being so wonderful to you, what the church's stand on 'wanking' is... Make sure your husband is there when you ask them. Ask them how often they get harangued about wanking, ask them why they've been taught all their mormon lives that wanking is the sin next to murder. Ask them if they really believe that. And of course, ask them why you've been told that Utah is porn-subscription capitol of the world...
Ask them why you should turn over your children, male and female, to be raised by the church, with the bishop as their father, with whom they have to meet at least once a year to be asked about their sexual thoughts and actions. Some bishops are 'better' fathers and get the kids alone, behind a closed door, to make these gentle, fatherly inquiries on a more frequent basis. Would any rational parent volunteer to do this? (thus the 'cult' references when the mormon church is mentioned.)
Ask them about 'disobedient' missionaries, ask them what they think the percentage is of obedient v. disobedient missionaries.
And by all means, please visit this thread on another filthy apostate website (filthy apostate is high praise in my vocabulary):
http://www.postmormon.org/exp_e/index.php/discussions/viewthread/18763/Besides being totally wankaphobic, the mormon church is homophobic, misogynistic and totally a non-respecter of science AND good manners!
Now then, to be fair, there are people who benefit from the structure a church, any church, can give them. If that's you, fine, but find a better, kinder, organization, with a trained clergy.
