idk what to tell them... they didn't bother to ask..

i have been asked a lot of times about my beliefs since my elementary years. i have my answers ready and when i can't answer i just refer them to missionaries... but just recently i was sitting at the blood bank area watching history channel with some of my workmates because we weren't busy. a short segment was featured. it was entitled "10 things you don't know about mormons" as i sat there listening to all those things my jaw dropped. i didn't know all of those things myself. it was all negative things. the show ended. my workmates, knowing that i am an LDS, didn't say a word. but i know from the looks on their faces they all have their minds made up. each went out of the room silently until i sat there alone. thinking.. contemplating on things. i was caught off guard.

those things may be true but i have my testimony. people are not perfect. members of the church aren't either. we just try our best to be the best that we can be. all they featured was in the past. i can give them a list of "100 good things you don't know about the mormons" it was just so one-sided. im not worried about my own faith. im worried of what my workmates think about my religion. until now i can't stop thinking about it. i still don't know how to react if ever that same situation happens again...
