Free Mormon Christmas video

Appears to be a movie, with James Stewart, but I would expect either a visit (if you give them a physical address) or literature (if you give them a post office box). Fair warning!

Just wondering why you would need to give anyone "fair warning".

[Natalie]

I realize that may have sounded harsh. But... would you give "fair warning" if the Baptists, or the Lutherans, or Atheists (for example) were giving away free stuff?

[madhen]

I would give anyone "fair warning" that a gift is not without strings attached. This one specifically because after you fill in the information, you get to another window asking, "What do you want to do next?" and your options are all related to getting visited or called by a missionary.

If I thought getting the sample of Bertolli came with someone calling on you to ask you what you thought of Bertolli and wouldn't you want to join the Bertolli organization, I would give you fair warning on that one, as well.

Yes, I would. As I posted in my other response, I would give fair warning to anything offered as free, not just from religious organizations, but from any organization, that probably had strings attached.

I don't want you to think I was picking on you, it's just that I don't like prejudice (be it against a religion, the size of a person, if they're vegetarian, or the color of their skin, or whatever), thanks for clearing up what you meant. (Granted, I'm not perfect either, in no way am I perfect!)

I do not feel picked upon or offended. I do feel that you were a bit quick to see prejudice where none was present.

I'm sorry.
