I was a mormon missionary for a time 😛

going door to door always an entertaining way of passing the time, but when people invited us in i would try to get into a game of Halo with them after we were done chatting (if they had an Xbox) It's pretty fun way to meet people.

btw, as wierd as it may sound if y'all let us do work for ya it's seriously a nice break from going door to door. One can only take so much rejection. Plus we're not so bad, we like to have fun too. We made good friends with a paintball field owner and our 'service' was to ref the games, then he would let us play for free. I got pretty good at paintball lol 😛

did you feed them tea and strumpets?

Did you lock the door behind them with the deadbolt and remove the key?

That's always a good idea, because they might come back and try to break in.

I was talking about after he let them inside......

I was hesitant to reveal that I was a missionary, because AT isn't exactly the most forgiving place...

but, to be brief, we are there to help where we can. If that means waxing your car, or giving you something to believe in so be it. If you don't want us there simply tell us and we won't be back.

well, that does sound like it would get annoying. If you did indeed tell them to stop coming and they kept coming, a note might work best in that case telling them exactly how you feel.

I'm sorry that happened to you, some people just can't take a hint.
 
Yes, I usually tell them I'm not interested.

Funny salesman story - I had a guy selling kids books at my door and he would not shut up. My dog (Samoyed) stepped on to the porch while he was talking and snagged his sandwich out of his book bag. I didn't buy any books but offered him 5 bucks to buy himself a lunch (he didn't take it). I felt sorry for the guy - he was a younger kid and he blurted out in an Australian accent - "You're dog slobbered on me sandwich!!!" after I grabbed the bag out of her mouth. My wife and I could barely contain ourselves, we had a pretty good laugh after he finally left....

They get annoying after living in a town that's 75% mormon for quite a few years.
 
Who knows. I probably have but I wasn't stupid enough to answer the door. I just let my dog bark at them until they go the fvck away.
 
I myself am not mormon (was), but the whole rest of my family is.

There couldnt be a finer group of people. If you look at there religious concepts and commandments, you will find very good ideals to live by.

Things like:

No stealing

No drinking

No smoking

and no sex before marraige are some very basic and helpful principles to live by, which I still do live by.

As for mormon missionaries, people should really be kinder. They are out there on THERE time. They are not being paid, but are living on there own money to be there.

And as for them waxing your car, that really isnt a problem. Mormon missionaries are required to do a set number of hours of community service.

You don't have to be out west. RLDS headquarters is in Independence, Mo. There are also sizable Mormon communities throughout the U.S. I've been approached at home and in shopping center parking lots here in South Carolina.

They were shagging. They were together for about 8 months and they still talk every now and again (some several years later). Knowing her as I did I can also say that her faith kinda took a nose dive... I'm pretty sure she is basically not mormon anymore.

 
My Wife's family are Mormons and they are no different then anyone else you would meet. No, I am not a Mormon even though I have been in their family for 12 years now. The running joke around the house is that her mom will not be saved until I convert🙂

No drinking? And I have to go around offering to wash people's cars for them?

:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown: Count me out of that religion.

Edit-God damned!!! I didn't even see the no sex before marriage crap. Hell fvcking no b!tch!!! Like there's any chance I'm going to marry some chick without even fvcking her first....:roll: That's like buying a used car without driving it first...Not gonna happen. :laugh:

Because then they wouldn't get free paintball and halo. Weren't you paying attention?
 
My dad would tell them he was buddhist, and they would usually leave it at that.
We did tire of strangers knocking on our door, so I built a custom steel gate with an automatic opener. Many times I'd go out and find some pamphlet on the gate, under small rock.
God bless our gate🙂
 
Since i'm naked around the house... and when i answer the door, i put on a robe. I tell them i'm interested and let the robe fall open. That usually scares them away. I'm hoping one day a hot girl or two would just jump over me (i had 2 pretty damn attractive Jehovah witnesses knock on my door before... that was like 10 yrs ago though, before i started going nude unfortunately).
 
I've never had them knock on my door, but then I was a missionary and am currently a member of the Mormon church. I served in New York City, mostly Harlem and the Bronx. Really enjoyed going door-to-door actually. Got to meet some really great and very nice people that way.

Dude, I didn't get any free paintball and Halo!! Hmm, I'll have to check into that. 🙂
