Perusing LDSLiving.com is like hitting my head with a hammer and watching a train wrecking at the same time.
It isn't surprising given the fact that they think waiting rooms are the height of their Mormon experiences.
High road.

Low road.
http://www.ldsliving.com/Hilarious-Mormon-Memes-and-Tweets/s/87910Both are lies. No one looks at a waiting room, albeit very ornate, and thinks, "WOW! It is like the best decorated, most desirable place to hang out, AND the most spiritual place on the planet."
Likewise, even Mormons trying to make memes of themselves just make themselves look more foolish than they already appear even without their temple clothing.
It is sad but I'm glad it is true that the "most true" religion on the face of the planet is worse than kitsch -- it captures the face of God as a boring old authoritarian "strictitarian" deity with a waiting room, handlers, gobs of cash and not much inclinations to either charity for the world or cultivating humor in his own chosen people.
In short a god who can't laugh at himself and treats his children like actual children and never adult human beings.
