I thoroughly enjoyed the ward nut case thread, but was too late to join. So I am starting a new one.
We had a woman who taught gospel doctrine who would come up with the most insane hypothetical questions. One week, our lesson was on forgiveness, and she made up a story about a girl going to college, and hooking up with a random guy the first weekend. She then went around the room and asked us what we would tell her parents about forgiveness. I still remember her asking, "Brother T-Bone, what would you tell the parents of this young lady who just arrived at college and the first weekend has already had a SECKSHAL EXPURRANCE?"
I had just come back to the Mormon church, and enjoyed my share of hanky panky during college. I remember thinking, "Put her on the pill!" My next thought was, "Where was she when I was in college?"
The next one was in Japan. We had a Filipina lady in my ward who was a courtroom interpreter. She saw Filipinos incarcerated for a variety of crimes; prostitution, drug trafficking, or immigration violations. She was absolutely CONVINCED they were ALL falsely accused, and would go on diatribes about the "crooked Japanese justice system". They never had anything to do with the lesson.
