While I was a missionary, we were encouraged to participate in a local program with the goal of reactivating people who weren’t coming to church anymore. It was based on 3 Nephi 18:30 (in the Book of Mormon): Nevertheless, ye shall not cast him out from among you, but ye shall minister unto him and shall pray for him unto the Father, in my name; and if it so be that he repenteth and is baptized in my name, then shall ye receive him, and shall minister unto him of my flesh and blood.

    I love this one:

    The fall appears hard. I’m sorry for you, your family, but agency got you here.

    You mean the same agency that was supposedly A Gift from God? Classic Mormon doublespeak.

      For real. I never noticed it until I left, but it’s really easy to use all the contradictory beliefs to become impossible to please.
