love bombed
I was at my "inactive" brother-in-law's house, and noticed a paper plate of cookies, loosely covered in saran wrap, on the counter.
"Let me guess, your home teachers came over?" I asked my brother-in-law.
He looked up, utterly shocked. "How did you know?"
I pointed to the cookies. "Love bomb."
He smiled. "Better watch out. They might be poisoned."

You want to know what's a bit weird about this entry? That the church members are 'told' by GAs (in talks, Ensign articles, etc) that the best way to woo someone back into the fold is through love...how about honest dialogue? I'd take that ANY day over a plate of cookies.
Love is always good, but how is being nice going to resolve the church's problems? They must be operating on the fallacy that "the members are good so the church must be good."
Honest dialogue would be nice, especially if the faithful could talk to the disaffected and the middle-roaders. As it is, it seems mostly each group sits around talking to their own group about the other groups. Like, um, me and outer blogness. Ha!
