my entire family is comprised of Jehovah's Witnesses..i sang this song when we were in service knocking on peoples doors: almost everyone came to the door and sang along! Then r elders took me out and started yelling at me: and i hummed the song the entire time :-D
Yes actually. I have an aunt thats a Jehova's Witness. Shes nuts you should here the things she says. She even kicked her own daughter out for staying out "too late"
I am glad that a lot of Mormons play along to this. I think everyone has learned to just accept what South Park creators are doing. Good Job Mormons you get a free book written by Jesus! (But you already have one!)
This almost makes me wish Mormons would come talk to me. Not that I'd interested in what they have to say, but because they would be so damn entertaining!
About two weeks back two Mormon missionaries came to my door and when they said, "Hello" I started singing this song and about twenty seconds in, they started singing with me. We went through the whole thing and laughed and I took one of their books. It made my day :)
if mormons or even jahova's witnesses actually introduced themselves with a broadway worthy showtune, id definitely invite them in for coffee and hear them out.
This reminded me of a story about Stephen Fry. When he was visiting Salt Lake City on a tour of America he came across a group of Mormons preaching in a square. As their audience was mostly senior citizens they started stressing "In the afterlife, you will be reunited with your entire family." to which Stephen replied "And what do you get if you're good?"
The part where they sing "The Book of Mormon" always gives me chills... -_- Say what you will about the people who made this play, the person who wrote the music is a musical genious...
@mattdeaf1 Yes, the episodes that made fun of The Book of Mormon and Scientology were brilliant! XD They did nothing but animate scenes from their religion, I didn't even know that the stuff in the Scientology one was based on rumors until WAY after seeing the episode.
This book gives you the secret to eternal life! Sound good? Eternal life! WITH JESUS CHRIST! Is super fun! HELLO! DING DONG! And if you let us in we'll show you how it can be done!
@nougatzimmerframe i dont understand how people cant believe in God, but i hope that yuo will at least believe in something, life after death, a squirrell believe in SOMETHING at least...
Like I said in my post, I believe in people. If you believe in people then there's really no need to believe in God or gods. Having said that, I'm not the type to foist my beliefs onto other people and by and large I don't have a problem with people who are religious, unless they start using religion to justify things like homophobia, racism or murder.
$1.99 on Amazon.com till 5/13/11 at midnight!! This is a huge effing steal, folks...what are you waiting for?! (Even though I won't probably get mine until the last second, lol!)
Hey I'm going to go do this in a couple of weeks (I'm LDS and I'm going on a mission soon). Anyone think I should use this approach when talking about the Book of Mormon? Singing might just give me a better response ;)
Although, I kind of like this approach a bit better: /watch?v=-35gtKuWrD4&feature=channel_video_title (just put youtubeDOTcom at the beginning of that link)
@potteryourotter That is awesome!! and dude, this is catchy! I wouldn't be surprised if the missionaries knocked on my door and started singing... Well, they probably wouldn't because they wouldn't need to introduce themselves... but if they did, I would not be surprised :)
@keiralikescookies haha, thanks. yeah, i am. i think it's good to be able to laugh at yourself though, you know? i didn't find it offensive at all, they're obviously poking fun but i never found it in any way malicious, plus some of the songs are super fun and catchy, and most people have responded pretty positively, so overall, i'm a fan. :)
The book of mormon is the best Science Fiction book I ever read, but seriously if there is ever Space mormons I'm joining
