50. Nothing could be further from the truth

They know it will be wonderful for recruitment overseas, anybody in a Third World country that gets the notion that converting to Mormonism will grease the skids on getting to immigrate to the US will not be officially discouraged from that erroneous idea by the missionaries.

They'd love with all their hearts to have Romney win the big prize. Ever since the LDS church did a U-turn after losing in the Supreme Court in the late 19th Century, they've striven for acceptance by the larger society. They think that their stands against equal marriage put them into the mainstream of American thought, and with the ballot boxes affirming that bigotry, I guess I don't blame them for thinking that most people are on their side on this issue.

I don't think missionaries of any non-Islamic religion are allowed in Pakistan or any other severely observant Muslim nation, so there's no worry about Elder Freshface being taken out by friendly fire.
