They bring to mind the faces of the anti-Mormon protestors we encountered when my family and I visited Palmyra for the pageant. I recall the bewilderment and hurt experienced by some of my younger children as a result of the taunting.The caricatures are also reminiscent of the expressions of some of the pundits and comedians we see on TV who seek respectability or laughs at the expense of our faith. As you say, I hope we remain cautious in our own behavior, as I have noticed that some of the casual conversation among our members occasionally comes dangerously close to the line between "respectful disagreement" and "contempt" when discussing the beliefs of others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356165115363599754noreply@blogger.com
