Two missionaries came to my home years ago. After they told me about the mormon religion and how it would be the right choice for me, I badgered them with questions, even though they were practically strangers. Anything and everything I could think of. I mean, I wouldn't have been able to just accept their word that their religion is the right one for me without knowing the impact it would have on my life.
I find it VERY hard to believe Jodi, who actually KNEW people who were mormon, didn't try to find out everything she could about the religion and it's "rules" for a lack of a better word.
