What do the Mormons hope to gain by bothering me at home?!

have no idea what a eucharist is, but it sounds bad

hehe, my hardcore catholic grandma would kill you where you stand if she ever heard that!

as for mormons, I don't know if there are any in the area where I live. Never had a religous person knock on the door in my life, and in fact, other than school kids pimpin candy bars or locals wanting me to sign some petition or the other, I've never experience any door to door solicitation of any kind.

Maybe they saw your handle, and decided to make a sales pitch because they thought you might be uncertain?

Enter the zealot.
Exit the civility.
 
they came by once. they are pretty nice people i would say. after finding out that i wasnt interest, we chatted couple mins and away they went. most of the time when solicitors knock on my door, i tell them im not interested, but i appreciate their effort for whatever they are doing.

<< I honestly feel sorry for a lot of Mormons... they've been duped into thinking they're Christians. They have some the weirdest practices I've ever heard of. Undergarments, plays where Satan is Jesus' spiritual brother, secret handshake, etcetc...

just becaues they're weird doesn't mean they're not christian. they ARE christian, since they believe jesus christ is/was the son of god. >>



Well, if you're a evangelical, Protestant, Roman Catholic, or other flavor of accepted mainstream Christian, you wouldn't exactly agree with their full definition of the "son of God." Mormons don't believe in the complete equality and full divinity of Jesus. This is one of the basic foundations of the Christian church. This was even a problem in Paul's day... he preached against people that did not acknowledge this. That's just one of the major inconsistencies that classifies them as not truly Christian. And Jesus is not Satan's brother. These are among the many reasons why they aren't Christian. Not to mention the entire "Book of Mormon" is not a canonically accepted text by the church. I hope that helps you understand why many Christians view Mormons as a non-Christian... our basic tenets are different. Only the surface looks the same. >>



I was a practicing Mormon for the first 17 years of my life and I have never heard anything about this stuff you're quoting.

Garments- Yes they wear special under-garments. Their purpose or significance is unknown to me as I bailed on the whole religion thing before I was indoctrinated into that phase.

amish >>



Well I can detail this. There is nothing magical about wearing undergarments. Mormons choose to live their life a certain way. They take temple vows to do this. Part of the vows is to wear the garments. To mormons, its symbol of being pure and of their commitment to God.

I'm like you Amish, in that I "practiced" until I was about 17. My parents finally gave up on trying to get me to go to all the activities and whatnot. However, they are extremely religious so I am still subjected to their beliefs.
 
mormon knocks on door

you open door

you find out it is mormom

you tell them to hold on while you fetch your rifle

you close door

you come back with rifle and tell them you'll count down from 5

you watch as mormons run for their lives

they'll tell other mormons not to interrupt you again

mission accomplished
 
All humor aside guys, if you need some help around the house or yard ask them if they want to help. You will have a pair of probably very eagar 19-21 year old males willing to help you all you want. They would much rather dig a ditch in your backyard that knock on peoples doors. This is based on my personal discussions with former missionaries. The vast majority like knocking on your door as much as you like them knocking on your door.
 
If you want to know about the Mormon faith read the book called the God Makers by Ed Decker. One of the missionaries that came to my door actually wanted to fist fight me. A court order forbidding them to come on my property solved that.
Bleep
 


<< If you want to know about the Mormon faith read the book called the God Makers by Ed Decker >>



isn't Ed Decker a major anti-mormon vocalist?


I'm leary of anyone that spends lots of energy doing anti efforts.

There are countless things I DON'T believe in, why would I use any of my effort on those things unless I was filled with bitterness and hatred?

you should be wary of any significant amount of energy... i never trust anybody who has a lot of energy. moderate apathy rules.
 
dude...i live in Slat Lake City.....i wish the would make a "mormon season" (like deer season) hehehehehehhehe
 
Funny story; My friends family is non-religious, maybe even a little anti-religious. Anyways, his dad HATES mormans that do the yearly rounds. So last year (he's an avid hunter) he was leaving with a 12ga shotgun in his hands and he opens the door and 2 mormans are starding right in front of him. They had no idea WTF was going on, only that a guy with a big gun was looking kinda pissed. hehe, they didn't even say hi, just hi-tailed it back to their car and left. Funny thing is, they didn't show up this year 😀
 
ummm.....the morons (i mean mormons) have to ride bikes here bro...serious...its funny as hell......103 out side and you see these sorry ass fools all dressed up on bikes HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

yeah, I bet they wish they could spend their time posting on the net, and wearing the stats of their computers like a badge of honor

I live just down the road from you in Ogden,Utah and I'll tell you what I see from my perspective; I see kids walking, riding, driving around with smiles on their faces almost always. During the summers, when I used to hang out in the front yard under my walnut tree, they would walk by, and I would offer them drinks of water, and chat with them about where they are from, when they would be going back home, what they will do after they aren't missionaries anymore, etc. I treat them with respect just like I would with anyone else walking through the neighborhood. They seem to all be happy about what they are doing. Unlike many of the people I see posting around here.
