I Have a Ten Cow Wife

Would you ask a plumber how to wire an electrical socket? Of course not (at least I hope you wouldn't). However, I have met many people who make this same mistake when seeking information about a religion. Now, I am not just talking about all the misnomers about the Mormon Religion (our temple spires are not missile silos thank you very much!). Getting information from random people off the streets or random anti-mormon websites on the internet will not only give you a very skewed perspective, but will, in fact, give you misinformation. If you want to know about Mormons, ask a Mormon (or you can go to Mormon.org for starters). If you want to now about Catholicism, ask a Catholic. So please, the next time you find out a coworker is Mormon don't ask him how many wives he has.  It is just bad form.
