Has anybody here converted after having a Mormon come to their door?

You always see Mormons going door to door talking to people, so I assume it must work.

Has anybody here converted after having a Mormon come to your door to talk to you?


Edit:

*sigh* Can we stay on topic? Mormons and being converted by Mormons.

The same people who always derail religion threads are starting to derail this one. Plus, haven't you guys had this exact same argument with each other in about 100 other threads?
 
Last interaction I had with them was when I was living with my sister and brother in law. I saw them leaving the apartment (and him going inside) as I was walking up to the building. They stopped and asked if I lived there. I told them yes, on the top floor with my partner. They never came back.

Something tells me if it works or not has nothing to do with it.

People don't generally do those for generations if it doesn't work. Say what you want about Mormon's but people aren't that stupid.

Thousands of years of millions of religious practices say you are wrong.

Yes, because the 1 minute it takes to say you aren't interested and shut the door is a life or death issue. Seriously, people act like anybody even trying to talk to them is as bad as killing puppies. Do you chase girl scouts off your property for trying to sell you overpriced sugary cookies? At least the Mormons won't make you fat.

It's not that big a deal to have somebody knock on your door. People seem to think it's right up there with stealing their car.
 
I used to work with a guy that was heavily Christian. He told me about a time Jehovahs Witnesses came to the door. He invited them in, and after their short spiel, he proceeded to lecture them for an hour :^D I bet they were sorry they stopped at his house after that :^D

Yeah, they're annoying, but by their definitions they are trying to do good. So even though I don't like them harassing me, I try to nicely shoo them away.

They're doing it for entirely selfish purposes. It doesn't matter if it works or not, and they don't care how many souls are actually saved. All they care about is securing their position in heaven. It's really quite pathetic.
 
I just started telling them "hey, before you get started I just think you should know I am the Anti-Christ"....they just turn and leave.

Actually I think that t just proves him right. If it didn't work then there would not have been thousands of years of religious practice.

I don't tink that is really a fair thing to say and as such is rather a closed-minded opinion.
 
I don't know about how well it works, but it is a strongly encouraged in the Mormon faith to do mission work. It's rather interesting and I really respect the people that will go abroad to do mission work. It's a lot to ask for to give up one to two years of your life to help others.

It's not closed minded to think that organised religion is something to laugh at. I think grown adults who believe in the fantasy of religion are just as amusing as grown adults who believe in the fantasy of Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny. Sure, you should keep an open mind. But not so open your brain falls out.

Edit - I should qualify my position. Although I think organised religion as a concept is funny, I also think that organised religion as a social construct in it's current state is scary as hell. The fact that most people believe in these fantasies (including most world leaders) is nothing to laugh about.
 
It doesn't bother me. I don't understand why knocking on your door is a huge pain. I just say "no thanks, I'm not religious." Though there have been a few times that I've engaged with them in a friendly (seriously) debate.

If they were insulting or annoying that might be an issue, or if they knocked on the door at 1 in the morning. But I haven't run into this.
 
Didn't work for me. I wanted to keep the discussion on having multiple wives and the two woman doing the talking weren't interested.
