Hey, they are among the crowd in the Great and Spacious Building which will be their eternal mansion. We have the mansions provided in the Clestial Kingdom. Sure I get angry at the mocking but soon I feel great sorrow for wehat awaits them.

It is sad. I think they just don't understand the seriousness....or maybe they do. Either way...very sad.

I think this will actually help our missionaries B-)

Shadow: In what specific ways will it help? Will it likely just justify to the Evangelicals and Fundamentalist that we are indeed evil? Do you have some positive suggestions for how the missionaries will turn this to our advantage.

I look forward to your thoughts.

I think those who see the missionaries will be more apt to have a conversation with them. Missionaries are *stars* now. People will be more open to letting them in their homes IMO. The musical didn't make the missionaries into evil people, it's my understanding that it was just a spoof mocking the church. It was enjoyable to people, not scary or evil like the godmakers (I haven't seen either one of them BTW, just going off what people have said). Correct, it was a mockery, but I think the missionaries will be able to correct misconceptions.

Shadow: I pray that you're right. I know that sometimes this happens. It did in Wichita when the Church was under serious attack by locals there.

No weapon formed against us will prosper. I believe that good will come in spite of the wicked intent of the makers of this play.

No such thing as bad publicity when it comes to the church ;)
