Well, when I was growing up people used to say a lot of things about the church. They would say, “You know in your church you drink blood.” [Both laugh] They would say a lot of things, but that didn’t worry me because I knew that we were not doing such things. Even up to now, I am facing those challenges at work. I had my colleagues say something about the Book of Mormon. She said, “That book is evil. I have had that book before, and I didn’t even read it. I put it away because it is Satanic.”
I mean, so I am still facing that, and one other colleague of mine said, “How do you live your life knowing that at your church you kill people, you do all these horrible things?” They say a lot of things, and a lot of that is that they are not willing to learn. They have no willingness in them whatsoever. I have advised them, “Guys just read the book with the introduction only. Then you will hear what is contained in the book.” But they are not willing to learn. So I have just told myself—there is a verse in the Bible that says, “Many are called, but few are chosen.”
