Current & former Institute goers & former Missionaries: If you noticed a fellow attendee playing songs from the Broadway production of the Book of Mormon, as background music, while receiving a scriptural lesson from a pair of Missionaries, how would you react?
One time, I played the song "Two By Two" (SFW) on my old laptop at an LDS institute when a 2-on-1 lesson that I was receiving was just starting.
A Sister Missionary asked me "What are you playing?"
I told her "Background music for our lesson."
She asked "Does that song have anything to do with The Church?"
I told her "It sings about Missionaries, so yes, it very much has something to do with our church.
She asked, "Wait a second, isn't this from the Book of Mormon on Broadway?"
I told her, "Why, yes it is! You made such a good guess! How did you know?"
She then ordered, "It doesn't matter how I know, but you're gonna have to turn that off because their production is very offensive!"
So I gladly did, because I was glad she knew where the song came from, and we had our scriptural lesson without any background music.
I was such an immature college student back then, so I had a pretty flippant attitude towards the church at the time.
So if you knew me back then, and you were in that Sister Missionary's place trying to give me a lesson about the Church, and I played that same song as "background music," how would you have reacted differently to this?
