Not that I wish to make a big deal about this. Nor do I know any of the people involved in the story. I didn’t even know this bar or where it was until I asked around because of the Church related spam email.
This lady forwarded this email from a coworker who was offended because of acts of some supposed “Mormon”. Here is the guy’s forwarded message. By know it is completely hear say and has no relevance in a court of law.
"I am deeply disappointed in your Mormon brethren at the Mad Hatter last night... I went out last night and the music was pumping so I was up for dancing. There are four attractive women dancing so I proceed to dance with them. I start twirling them around and we are having a great time when this older gentleman a/k/a a goofball comes over and says, "Hey, you know we are Mormon, right?" I said, "Nope. I did not." He goes, "Well, we are really religious people." I answer, "Great!" He proceeds to make it so I am no longer dancing with the women. Alison, the bartender, feels bad that the women aren't allowed to dance with me so she goes dancing with me which was a lot of fun. I simply couldn't believe it. I should have called you to join me and show up your brethren."
This Mad Hatter sounds like a nappy place in a very seedy area of DC. This “Mormon”, if he was a member of the Church, probably isn’t in good standing and doesn’t hold a temple recommend.
There are many polygamists in Utah that claim to be Mormon or Mormon Fundamentalists. All people need to hear, is the word “Mormon” and they assume relation to the Church. We all know what assume means?
“People are dumb, panicky, and you know it.” (Quote from Men in Black.) People are more willing to believe the word of a C average Communications major or Journalists than to seek out the facts for themselves.
If this supposed Mormon is what the guy bases the Church on, he is an idiot. The lady who apparently believes the guy’s story must be an idiot too. And I? Well, I figure I’m an idiot too in someone else’s view.
