Just curious. I'm getting sick of "tender mercies" being said by Mormons. I don't even know what it means but at least I understand where these people are coming from.

What do non-Mormons wish Mormons would stop saying?

I've only met a couple of Mormons. Should I go to a church service and report back?

1. Invitations back
2. Testimonies and eager debates about how I have it so wrong
3. Is there anything I can do for you? (Said with that mixture of pity, disdain and "unease in the presence of someone who must be crazy, dangerous, sinful, and living in a gutter because they left" that only cultists can properly cook up
4. Expressions how much they still love me even though I'm slime
5. Worried requests for reassurance that I haven't denied the Holy Spirit.

"You're a great man!" Really, then how come I can't see my kids get married?

"I know the church is true..."

"My 8 year old child chose to be baptized."

"If you only knew the truth. If you just knew what I know."

Um, that's why I'm out. I know what you DON'T.

This is not news to me."
Oh so youve known all along that Joseph really dod have what Oliver Cowdery described as, "That dirty, nasty, filthy affair of Joseph's with Fanny Alger'and youre cool with singing his praises?
Stay away from my daughter, my wife and me for that matter.
How is that any different from Fundy Mormons singing the praises of Warren Jeffs?

Most non-Mormons hardly ever see a Mormon nor talk to them. Most non-Mormons are happy that way.

How about a list of questions non-Mormons wish Mormons would stop asking them?

(the survey approach)
"
Is a close, strong family important to you?
Do you feel that churches today could do more to strengthen families?
Do you have a belief in God or in a supreme being?
Do you have a belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God?
Do you accept the Bible as the word of God or as a history book?
If there were another book of scripture that spoke of Christ would you be interested in reading it?
Have you ever asked yourself, where did I come from, why am I here, andam I going after I leave this earth life?
Do you pray?
Do you feel that God hears and answers prayers?

Would you like to be happier than you are now? What would make you happier?

In the case of ex-Mormons:

"You just want to sin", "You really know it's true", and other such things.

I can't tell you how many times I've been introduced this way ..."He's not a member but he's still a good guy"

The insistence that my responsible decisions are really nothing more than the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

It couldn't possibly be that I have learned from my experiences, have a fully-functional brain, or that I actually care about how my actions impact others.

I wish stepson would stop making his little kids sing church songs to me every
time I see them. It makes me cringe.
