This has got to be a joke, right?

[ETA] After checking out the forums, I'm pretty sure it is. Phew. Although apparently this "dating missionary" thing is actually something people really do, which is still disturbing.[/ETA]

You see the kind of people I'm surrounded by? Although most sane Xians pefer to date their own and not do this sort of witnessing.

Huh? Just when I think I've seen it all. Manohman.

She's okay. She's not smokin'. Mormon chicks, on the other hand? What a waste. [/shallow]

Oh, bother. I pulled out books and Googled to try to find the epistle that provides a scriptural justification for this, and then there she is citing it on her page! (Although not the way I was thinking of it.)
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, "The Two shall be one flesh." (I Cor 6:15-16)

I always took that to mean that sex with penetration and ejaculation would be a good alternative to baptism as a means of conversion.

The only group that ever did anything like that was the Children of God group in the 70s, who had this thing called Flirty Fishing, in which members would go out and sleep with people to convert them.

That's the only organised case of it, as far as I can recall. There might be stupid people who think they can do it themselves, but...

It's definitely a spoof, and pretty hilarious, especially when you look at the 'Speaking in tongues' thong...
