Mormons Exposed
Though it is not what you think. Dateline Salt Lake City…
A dozen Mormon missionaries are again taking off their trademark white shirts for a calendar that seeks to strip away stereotypes about their church.
The 2009 version of the Men on Mission calendar was released Thursday - two months after its creator was excommunicated by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for producing this year’s calendar.
Here is a picture from the back cover.

But two missionary editions are not enough. Now another is on the way…
Hardy sold nearly 11,000 copies of the 2008 edition at $14.99 each. News reports of his excommunication have helped secure a larger U.S. distribution and international contracts for 2009.
It’s also helped draw a flood of would-be missionary models for 2010, when the plans feature a second calendar featuring female church members under the title “Hot Mormons Muffins: A taste of motherhood.”
If you would like to visit the site where the calendar can be purchased, you may do so here. I visited and honestly…feel a little ill after the fact. (HT)

Is it fair or accurate to call them “Mormon missionaries” if they no longer believe or practice Mormonism. If a group of Catholic priests left the Catholic church and tried to utilize the brand and icons of Catholicism to make some extra money for themselves, would we view that as respectable. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that the media has played right into the hands of these business entrepreneurs. This little episode says nothing about the Mormon Church, only about this handful of former mormons and those who consume the story with pleasure.

David….agree with you this is about making money. Those calendar guys are going to do okay.
I also agree with you that this says nothing about Mormons just as televangelists say nothing about Evangelicals.
Thanks for commenting.
