Apparently they've retroactively "converted" all the Jews that were killed by the Nazis. I can't remember the exact logic for it, but probably about saving the tormented souls of the Jews languishing in the Jewish afterlife. I suppose if I was Jewish I'd be a bit offended.
I invited some Mo's in for a chat the other evening when they came by. I was curious as to what their sales pitch would be for converting. Turns out they don't really have one. The guys approach was like, I'm a mormon and I feel better being a mormon than if I wasn't one so you'd like being a mormon too. Nice enough kids though.
My friend pointed out that he thought these "missions" are less about trying to convert people and more for the kids that go on them, to test their faith I suppose. It seems pretty disingenuous to me. But as Pat said, nice enough people as long as your not gay.
