Mormon Myths You Have Heard or Can Add

[_moksha]

Sometimes it is important to call attention to the many myths surrounding Mormons and Mormonism. Maybe you can even help me out by adding to the list of those myths found in and outside of the LDS Church.

1. The average Mormon family goes through an industrial size 96oz container of mayonnaise every two weeks.

2. Mormon law enforcement officers prefer Temple garments over Kevlar vests.

3. Mormon soldiers have been known to wear an extra pair of garment bottoms over their helmets while on night reconnaissance, for extra protection.

4. Mormons will catch fire if you press a cross to their forehead.

5. If taken in sufficient quantities, Diet Coke can retard [slow down] horn growth.

6. Unless given specific instructions, Sister-Wives will invariably hang toilet paper so it faces inside, they will also cook pot-roast for dinner, even when you are righteously craving Pad-Thai.

7. The line up of programs on KBYU looks much better in the Deseret alphabet.

8. Steven Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective Sharks should be a must read for high school seniors.

9. J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson and Roy Cohen were baptized and sealed by Ezra Taft Benson (this is partially true but the baptisms were posthumous).

10. Glenn Beck passed his Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory without red flags.

Obviously not a myth as we learned in Conference today. But the notion that women are more spiritual than men is a myth.

Males are a little more equal.

Of 40 talks, there were 5 female speaker. (3 of them during the Young Women Meeting.)
Apparently, 1/8 of the membership are women...
Or of the leadership?

Joseph Smith was a prophet.

Stop being ridiculous, the suggested myths have to be at least plausible, even if only a little.

[_madeleine]

Missionaries, who shook the dust from their shoes, are the cause for all earthquakes of the last 100 years. ( with great power comes great responsibility).

[_Bazooka]

During the design of the Salt Lake City it was not then known just how fat Mormon's were going to get.
The width of the corridors are a testament to the divine hand guiding it's construction.

No Mormon bishop has ever taken a cruise to Israel!
