Ended up mildly angering a Mormon missionary today
Usually they are super nice. But I googled ‘secret Mormon handshakes’ and then gave him the secret handshakes. You are only meant to be given the handshakes once you reach a certain level in Mormonism which you then show to an angel when you get to heaven to prove you were a good Mormon, which then gets you into the highest kingdom of heaven.
I thought the church might have caught onto the fact that this stuff was readily available from ex Mormons on google and would have gotten rid of the practice, but as I discovered, no. Nice guy but he mumbled something about how I better be careful who I give the handshake to in the church as it’s offensive. It was literally taking your index finger and putting it in the palm of, and your thumb and putting it in the same place outside of, the hand of the other person. Representing Jesus’ nail wounds. The sign of the nail. Then I did the sign of the Aaronic priest hood, which was WAY too offensive. But no they are nice though. Just seems quite comical
