mormons were not on my mind this morning, but i just had a small chat with two. i was in the middle of eating breakfast, when i got a knock on my door. i opened the door, and there stood two young women, i'd say they were in their early-twenties. they asked how my morning was, and i said good, how is yours? they lit up with a big smiles on their faces and said great! they asked if i had ever been to the local mormon church, and i said no. knowing where this was heading, i said that i didn't want to be mean and that i was simply not interested in mormonism, but that i respect it. thinking they would try to convince me with some other tactic, they said ok i understand. they asked if they could give me a postcard size photo of their church, and i obliged and took it. they wished me a great day, and i did the same.

i don't mind if people knock on my door and solicit, so long as they take the first no and leave it at that. if most mormons are that way, then i think they are probably in general good people.
 
Certainly better than gays, whites, Asians, blacks, cis-gendered, heteros and transvestites.
 
They'll be back. They'll give it a month or two and visit you again, particularly because you were engaging. That's not a knock against you either, for being polite.

hm. maybe. time will tell.
 
Cant stand them. Annoying shit and their 40 year olds love grooming 16 year olds for marriage like what happened to my idiot cousin. They use the same manipulation and shaming tactics, only difference between them and jehovas is mormons will shovel your driveway.
 
Wanna hear a crazy story. I lived in the dorms in college. There was this young woman that lived down the hall. She was a knockout beauty and impossible not to notice. On top of that, she was incredibly sweet and kind to everyone. Basically, she is the woman that your Mom dreams that you bring home. But she was Mormon and very chaste and didn’t really date. Guys would ask her out, but she always politely declined. The most you might achieve is light, innocent flirting.

Also on that floor lived a fat, obnoxious, narcissistic, ultra conservative blowhard (I don’t mean offense to conservatives. If it helps, just think of an ultra liberal blowhard. As in the type of person where you think “Alright, we get it! Just shut the fuck up about politics for one fucking minute.”)

Well this P.O.S. came up with an idea to get with her. He started to pretend to be interested in Mormonism. She became so excited to meet with him and share about her weird little religion thinking she was saving him or something. Then he started attending church or temple or whatever they go to with her.

One night I’m walking by this guys smelly room and a buddy of mine is in there hanging out with this guys less obnoxious roommate so I pop in. The troll blowhard is working on something. I ask what it is. It’s chainmail.

I ask, “Why chainmail?”

He says, “I’m going to get married in a full suit of armor.”

I ask “So are you engaged?” Sarcastically. And then he looks at me with the creepiest shit-eating grin and says “Just wait. You’ll See.”

Lo-and-behold he and the Mormon gal, who weren’t even dating, were engaged within the month. He had told her that “God came to me in a dream and he told me that you and I are to be married.” AND SHE FUCKING BOUGHT IT!!!

10 years or so later, a buddy of mine ran into her. He said it looked like the world had beat her down and then curb stomped her. She had not aged gracefully. He asked how she was doing and she said to my friend, whom she vaguely knew from the dorms in college in response to the most casual of “How ya doin’?” American greetings:

“I just don’t understand why God wants me to be with Nate if he makes me so unhappy.”

And then turned and walked away.

I grew up in a town with a large Mormon population. They have some very strange beliefs and rituals, but thats not really any different than any other religion, or the one I was born into: Southern Baptist. Almost every Mormon I know would give you the shirt off of their backs if you were in need.

They allow girls to go to homes on their missions trips now? Thats strange. AFAIK its young men that have to go and solicit, and young ladies on missions work in the temples. Could be wrong, but I believe it was to protect the women from potential threats. I know there have been young missionaries have been assaulted or even killed.
 
The problem I have with super religious folks is where their niceness come from. The Mormon religion, like Jehova Witnesses too, is the type where you are either neck deep in it or you are not. And when you are that deep, it makes me wonder if the reason they do what they do is out of fear of what they consider divine punishment or punishment from the organization itself.

wow. that really is one fucked-up story. it's scary when a deep belief in something will blind you of reality.

yeah, i definitely would. good people are good people, and i make it a point not to judge someone based on gender or how they look. and that's the honest truth.
