Third Hour Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 "Latter-day Saints ... you mean those people with the weird underwear who can't drink Coke?" There are countless rumors and misconceptions out there about what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do and believe.

If you've been a Latter-day Saint for a while, you're probably going to do fairly well. Your non-Latter-day Saint friends might not fare so well. Share the quiz and let's see how they do.

prisonchaplain Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 8/10 ... but how was I to know about the swimsuit issue? Also, the celebrity question was pretty sneaky, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I got 11 out of 11. There was a freebie point. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) @prisonchaplain takes off his collar and hands it to @Maureen in defeat. "Silly thing was choking me, anyway!" he shouts, as he stomps off in a huff.

prisonchaplain Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I went back and looked, but still did not see it. Even with it, I guess I'd get 9/11. That's a percentage point better, but you still get the GOLD. Edited January 21, 2019 by prisonchaplain Maureen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Under Donny Osmond's face, it says: Click "View Results" to finish the quiz! (This counts as a freebie towards your score. You're welcome.) M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prisonchaplain Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 In that case, I'll pass. I misunderstood one of the questions, and had the right idea, so I gave myself credit. Had I clicked that button I would have gotten 8/11, because the 'puter doesn't care that I had the right idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes, the wording on some of the questions was a little tricky. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

askandanswer Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 ten out of 11. I guessed wrong that Steve Martin is a Latter-Day Saint. He's an actor isn't he? Or comedian? or tv celebrity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anatess2 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 You know, one of these days... people, including LDS ones, will realize that the Latter-day Saints are not just Utah culture or even American culture anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the celebrity question was pretty sneaky, IMHO. Rather embarrassed to say, but when you said "swimsuit issue" I thought you meant SI. Uhmmm. No... Anyway. I got 9/10 because I disagreed with the wording on one of the questions. But, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 8 hours ago, askandanswer said: Would you feel comfortable in sharing what led you to start? To start learning, sure. I met my LDS friend in high school. She invited me to many church activities, youth dances, camping, halloween activity, road show, etc which eventually led to taking the discussions when I was 17. My parents would not give permission for baptism and I was forbidden from attending church. My friend and I of course stayed friends, still went to dances (which were great during my adolescence). About 18 months after not getting baptized, I changed my mind and did not want to join the church anymore. My friend and I eventually married brothers, both brought up Mormon, but her husband loved the church and my husband did not. I will always be connected with the church due to extended family, nieces and nephews, etc. I also started reading more church history books, like Mormon Enigma: Emma Hale Smith (wonderful book). Which showed how truly interesting "Mormon" church history is. As time goes on I keep learning. M. askandanswer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
