but what inflames the anti-mormon passions the most is the paid clergy of other organized religions whose employment is the paid ministry to their flock. Mormons threaten their jobs; the mormons have no paid ministry; it is all part of our "callings" to do the Lord's work.
Well, speaking as one who has occasionally been called anti-mormon (although, I'm *really* not that specific!) The only time I feel any anti-mormon "passion" is when I want to throttle one of your missionaries. I like sleeping in, and being awakened by a kid who wants me to join a religion is really offensive. If the LDS church would just give up this damnable proselytizing, I'd find you no more objectionable than the Tibetan Buddhists (whom I actually hold in rather high regard, although they're never going to convert me either!) -jcr PS: I do think it's a Good Thing that mormons don't pay the clergy. One positive for LDS. Did you pick up that idea from the Ba'ha'i?
