When will mormons 'get it' that the world doesn't care.

The topic of discussion in EQ today was 'Persecution'.  It was our privilege to have a visiting member of the High Council sit in with us.  Inevitably, as always happens when talking about the persecution of the early Saints, the teacher asked; "what kind of persecution do we face today?".  The HC member immediately spoke up and gave a 5+ minute speech on intellectual persecution and the persecution from the media.  He went into Big Love and the recent episode with the endowment.  He talked about mormon's mobilizing to boycott HBO and their parent company. He talked about how bad this persecution was.  Then he talked about the response from the church, of which I am going to quote a little, the entire thing can be found here:

...Last week some Church members began e-mail chains calling for cancellations of subscriptions to AOL, which, like  HBO, is owned by Time Warner. Certainly such a boycott by hundreds of thousands of computer-savvy Latter-day Saints could have an economic impact on the company. Individual Latter-day Saints have the right to take such actions if they choose.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as an institution does not call for boycotts. Such a step would simply generate the kind of controversy that the media loves and in the end would increase audiences for the series. As Elder M. Russell Ballard and Elder Robert D. Hales of the Council of the Twelve Apostles have both said recently, when expressing themselves in the public arena, Latter-day Saints should conduct themselves with dignity and thoughtfulness.

I had heard about the Big Love episode but did not really give it a second thought.  "So what?" I thought.  All that stuff is on the internet anyway.   Shoot, Ed Decker goes grocery shopping dressed up in his temple garb, who cares?  It just shows their ignorance.  But my curiosity was piqued, I punched "Big Love Temple Ceremony" into Google and boy oh boy, I could not help but laugh at some of the websites I came across.  People were actually concerned about this!!  They thought somebody cared!!  It was as if they were waiting for all the cable news networks to now do specials to let the world (who is dying to know) see what happens inside the mormon temples.  Sorry people, nobody cares.  There might be a few...family members who were not allowed in to see a loved one's wedding, well meaning preachers (who haven't seen the godmakers) who would be interested, but for the most part, not so much.

Think about it, if you heard about a series that was going to show the inner (secret) workings of the Vatican, would you care?  Probably not.  And that is CATHOLICS!!  They make up more than 17% of the world population!  So if some show airs something on the mormons (that make up less than 2% of the world population) is anyone really going to care?

The church definitely had it right: conduct yourselves with "dignity and thoughtfulness".  Do not act with arrogance and self-righteousness, thinking all these people are chomping at the bit because they want so bad to know what you know but aren't allowed.  If they wanted it that bad, they would be members and enjoy all the blessings that come with it.  Since they don't, if they happen to watch the show on HBO, it will probably be just another weird thing they saw on TV and they will have forgotten about it by the morning.
