What should i do: Mormon Missionaries keep coming to my house!!!!!!

[Nitemare]

Once is fine, but I don't like other people who try to ram their religion down my throat, nor do I like any religion that encourages this.

This is one more reason why organized religion is suck

I'm Agnostic, was raised a Baptist, tried Catholicism, and even looked into Islam(cool, but not for me)

Just because you don't believe what someone else does doesn't mean you have the right to just slam them.

Yes it does and yes I do.

Well, yesterday I got a Mormon bible in my mail box

It's called the fvcking Book of Mormon and it's not the "Mormon Bible", it's a companion scripture.

Don't be such a dick about it and just ask them to please not visit you any more.

Jesus

amish

Isn't placing items in other peoples mailboxes a federal offense?

When they asked what you thought of the Book, you should have told them that you haven't had a chance to read it. You've turned it over to the local PostMaster and they are doing some fingerprint analysis and they will be in touch to press charges.


Seriously though, tell them No thank you, or argue with them(this is what I do) and they never come back. Ask them why their religion is true and yours is false. Ask them if they have more than one wife. Ask him if he takes turns or has them all at once. Ask him if you can just get alot of Mormom women and have sex with them, but not really go to church or practice Mormonism. Ask him/her if you can have sex with him now so you can practice for when you do get to marry a bunch of chicks. Ask him if your goat can join in as he gets jeoulous sometimes when you have orgies with the other animals.

Voulenteers sacrifice their lives to be in service of the Lord , bringing a message to those who may want to hear it, and the only way to do that is to knock on the door and ask you if you would. They have no other way to do it. They are not mind readers. They ask you simple questions that require a simple answer. You can be as polite as those missionaries are in asking you in the way you say no to them, and they will respect that.
If you have a problem with a missionary knocking persisitantly at your door, these people report to some one. you can always find a way to air your grievence if you are so offended by calling any LDS Church office. They have the numbers listed in the phone book in probably every locale in the nation, and for that matter, in the world.

The fact is most of you are exagerating your experiences and offer up offending solutions to this phenoma. Give it a rest. They do not come with any weapon larger than the Word of God. You can accept it or reject it. If you accept, they are there to help you on the way to HIs Glory. If you reject it, then fine. Mormon missionaries will much rather spend time with those who want to recieve the fullness of the Gospel than wankers who think its chic to claim no faith or feign a belief in some other church just to avoid looking at themselves in the scope of the big picture.

If any of you want to know more about the Church and it's way of doing things, then ask a missionary. The crap you read in this forum could not be farther from the truth then if the devil himself proclaimed it.

Some of you should be ashamed. Not one of those missionaries, or Jehova's Witnesses ever came to your door wishing harm upon you, yet you wish harm upon them. That is repugnent and dispicable. You are the ones who most need the service of a missionary. They can introduce you to a Gospel that will change your life for the good in so many ways. How about letting God into your lives? Or is God to much a burden for you pea brains to comprehend?:disgust:

if people wanted to hear about God and the mormon church they would ask about it or ask a missionary to tell them about it, no need for the misssionary to go around telling everyone about it, only those who want to hear it

Cultist handbook? Man you haven't even read the first page of it. I've read every sort literature you could imagine, and the book of mormon is far, far from a cultist handbook. It's actually rather interesting how it coincides perfectly with everything that happens in the bible.

For the record:
1. the Book of Mormon had over 4000 errors (grammartical errors, spelling errors, factual errors, mathematical errors and captilization errors) in it.
2. It directly quotes almost 300 verses straight out of the King James version of the bible.
3. Every version of the bible that i have read ( and i have over 40 versions) include Revelation 23:18-19 Which says "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
"
4. Also according to their other literature (Doctrines and covenants, and the Pearl of great price.) they believe that they can become a god and have celestial sex with all of their many wives to populate their own planet.

and yes i do study different religions. This one is quite interesting. and yes according to over 40 versions of the bible this IS a cultist handbook.

hahah owned!

I find it funny that no one is willing to admit falw within their religion. Christians try to tell Jews theygot it wrong, moorns try to tell christians they got it wrong, muslims tell hindus, etc.. And EVERYBODY goes around preaching high and mighty and trying to convert everyone else, sometimes they need just to chill. I think almost all the religions are cults, because by my view all of them are just people tryin to spread their own beliefs to others, not just believe their own beliefs and let it be. It is ok to share your beliefs, when asked, but not to solicit them. That is very much a cult. And almost all of the major religions are gulty of this.

the mormons are christians, foo!

i thought mormons don't believe in jesus was the son of God? at least that's what ive heard and that's why they don't have any crosses in or on their churches like every other christian church? a Christian believes that Jesus was the son of God...i dont think mormons believe that..

First of all if i wanted to hear the Word of God (tm), i'd go and find it myself. Otherwise its nothing else than spam, getting stuff you dont care for/about.

The scary thing about religions is that if you take a muslim, a jew , christan and whoever else, even tho they might have the exact opposite views each and every one of them will be 100% right their view is correct. This is the reason why Bin Laden got so far with this terrorism crap. As twisted as it might be, he is postivie that whats hes doing is right.

Over the centuries theres been so much wrong done in the name of religion or god, i really dont see why do people keep getting involved

Never had any Mormon's come after me, just Jehovah's. I am always a polite guy but I actually had to yell at them once. Some of them never let up....it's also insulting when you are 19 years old and they hand you little brochures that were made for children. One time I refused their brochures and then after I shut the door I heard them open my mailbox and put them in!!!

Every once in a while I would get one who would immediately respect my wishes, but 90% of them do not. Not a very good way to promote your religion if you ask me.

 

[toant103]

tell them you don't belive in Joeseph Smith or a living prophets.

 

[Red Dawn]

Do they actually convert anyone here in the USA? I know plenty oif people who have fled the whackyness of the LDS (or is it LSD) Church but no one who has embraced it. Well no one who's emotionally stable.

 

[Yossarian451]

The last guy I talked to about Mormanism, informed me that the momorns were a furtherment of christianity. I am a theological guy an I heard him out. According to him, they left the traditional protestant church during or after the first or second reformation (i don't remember right now). Anyway how he, or they, saw it we were out of hte loop, i.e. how the catholic church doesn't consider protestants christian.

But either way the act remains the same we all basically worship the same god, but all these religions are based on some guy (or girl in some cases) trying to control the masses or spread his own ideology.

Just like the whole concept of the pope. The pope came around when the romans said, "Hey, how can we control these christians, the usual isn't woking." "ohh I know, we will create a center for their religion and make one person who can control them" and then they said "Hey christians, Here is a Leader of your church, he can do no wrong and you have to do everything he says, ohh and he will stay here in rome with us, good day."

And still some people hold him as infallible, I mean he is a nice guy, but he sure can make mistakes. Like allowing a ruler to exterminate a couple million jews, in exchange for protection from harm.

All of the organized religions are the same way. "Do as I say because I am right and if you don't you are going to hell, ohh and don't listen to that guy over there, he has got it wrong."

Boy, some of you folks are pretty ignorant of the LDS church...

Go here for answers from the horses' mouth. Sure, it's very "family friendly," but the official doctrines are definitely on there.
