Public evangelist conversations

He was part of a tour, and - for most of it - the guide was pointing out landmarks and talking about the history of Utah. When the group arrived at the huge Temple, the proselytizing started. The guide told the group, 'One of the most wonderful things about the Latter Day Saints is that, why you die, you will be reunited with your entire family for eternity.'

At this point, Fry raised his hand to ask a question and said, 'What happens if you've been good ?'. He was asked to leave.

I did that tour, and I couldn't leave with my wife fast enough when we reached the end. He is lucky he got kicked out at the temple (you aren't allowed in). 

The proselytizing centre has huge murals of Joseph Smith on the walls talking to the angel Moroni, and they greatly encourage you to fill out your address so they can hound you for eternity (probably even after death).
