What's funny is all the Mormons who get in the comment sections and talk about how the South Park guys should have made a parody about Islam instead, or if they were really brave they would have done that. It's funny, because they don't know about the Mohamed episode of South Park.
Give it a year. In the US, 50% of all converts stop attending within a year. Outside the US, it's 75%.
She seems close with her family and attends their church as well as the cult. She'll soon learn that this is not the way the Morg does business.
Wait outside, mom, while your daughter and son-in-law pledge their eternal allegiance to the Corporation of the President. You think she already told her family this particular Mormon practice?
I like how they all think that this one convert is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but yet they don't even consider the fact that hundreds and thousands would never join the church (possibly tens of thousands) over the issues presented in just the musical alone.
My good friends (Catholics) watched/loved the musical but found it more hilarious once I had to tell them that things like blacks not getting the priesthood were actual happenings. Once they discovered that and other truths, they're 100% never going to consider joining the church, and rightly so.
The convert mentioned in the Deseret News isn't a new convert. This is an old story that the Morg revived in order to convince TBMs that their efforts in Great Britain are working. I remember reading about this convert back in July/August of last year.
I am sure that there are some people that converted because of the BoM musical.
BUt that would only be looking at half the equation. To really understand the impact on conversions, one also needs to consider how many people did not because of the BoM.
Someone should join the church after seeng the musical, get a big write up in the media. Then quit a month later with an even bigger media write-up about how they discovered it was a fraud. Anyone up for it?
