A friend sent me this link (NB: satire-ish). Good for a Sunday laugh. Missionaries kinda clueless.

Relax. It's satire.

I'm not altogether sure of the exact definition of satire so I called it "satire-ish" so nobody needed to say that's not satire.

Just gentle PG-13 humour, if you like that kind of thing.

satire-ish means "like satire".
this is not satire-ish. It is pure satire. The website even says so.

OK. So. I wrote "satire-ish" originally as I didn't want someone to say wait, this isn't satire, and I was too lazy to check the definition.

So, thanks for the correction on the "ish" part. I didn't notice the web site calling it satire. I didn't "investigate" it that closely. It was just meant to be a quick, light post for fun, for a change.

Now, not so much...

A returned missionary recently told me that in his mission, a few Old Order Amish converted to Mormonism in recent years. He said they are being shunned by the Amish community.
