There has been a sometimes subtle and sometimes not so subtle effort to reactivate my widowed friend who lives in a mormon-saturated area.
He received a call that the missionaries and an "area" person were coming to visit and that there would likely be two more visits after that. (He avers that there will NOT be two more meetings.)
My friend is a fine person, does a great deal of service in his community for family, neighbors, and friends. He is a "believer" but is on the fence about mormonism. He dislikes the political influence the church has, dislikes the racist history, dislikes the church's treatment of gays, women, minorities although he doesn't discuss any of this with his Mormon acquaintances. When the missionaries and visiting teachers come, he is cordial but avoids the "lesson". He has no intention of returning to Church but neither will he resign.
He is a person of integrity, and doesn't wish to be contentious. He has stated that he will not get into a doctrinal discussion but he also will not tell these 'authorities' to get lost. It's not in his character to do so.
My question on his behalf:
For anyone here who has had experience either as an 'activator' or as the target of activators, what will be the likely game plan of the initiators of this meeting?
