Yes, and we good citizens comply with the laws of the land.
Most of us have our own social "rules of etiquette" in being polite and kind to others.
A lot of Mormons don't behave as though "the rules" apply to them, at all, is what I'm saying. Why do they expect non-Members to obey petty, arbitrary, one sided Mormon rules?
The Hell I'm going to stop using the word "Mormon".
If pants-wearing women aren't allowed, then I will not attend.
If Mormons can't comprehend "No Soliciting", I don't have to open the door and explain it to them.
Thank you, Cheryl, for your empowering posts. Some of us are so used to Mormon bullying, that we accept that behavior as inevitable, and we are the ones who tip-toe around the Mormons all the time. Some of us, like me, with my PTSD, can actually be afraid of Mormons.
The Mormons used to beat loudly on my door at night (never used our perfectly functional doorbell), with the rudeness and urgency, that the message was "We are big powerful men--and you BETTER OPEN THIS DOOR!" Like, it wasn't my door at all, and I didn't have a right to keep it locked to them."
NOT! Mormons have no legal power--only abusive power, like criminals have. They have no "authority" over us, whatsoever. They use more than manipulation and assertiveness--they use bullying and threats! A small woman and kids (no husband around) are expected to cave in. Mormons get furious, when we little-ones use our RIGHTS, as human beings, to protect ourselves, our families, our property, and we call the police, that we pay for as tax-payers. This is the responsible way to protect our peace, in areas where criminals and scammers flourish--it is a good thing.
When the non-Mormon targets are defending themselves in a normal and reasonable manner, the Mormon stalkers will make a stink, threaten, or whine "Persecution!" It works! They do break down doors, and bring in new members, even though the Mormons need to step up their level of harassment, and stalk many more people, in order to get just one convert. The Mormon cult not only encourages this invasive behavior, it demands it from their members. (Mormons bully each other, worse than they bully non-Mormons. It's a cult of hatred, competition, domination, lies, and threats.
Indeed, the criminals and Mormons don't like any law or rule that stands between them and the money they are trying to steal from victims.
Cooperating with cults and criminals is a bad idea! It's like putting criminals in charge of the penal system, since they are the ones most effected by it.
I'm sorry, but no matter how nicely they are dressed, no matter how broad their smiles, no matter how well-rehearsed their words-- Mormons are just like other criminals. They want to take something away from you--your money, your children, your estate, your self-respect, your reputation, your happiness, your hopes, your time, your rights, your beliefs, your hopes of heaven.
(I was going to say "Mormon Strangers", but in my life, it was the Mormons I KNEW, that molested my little girl, assaulted my Deacon boys, assaulted and raped me at BYU, and stole money from me--and there were other victims, not just us.)
Because of individual sins and mistakes, and repentance, etc., I probably shouldn't lump everyone together--except for reasons of personal safety.
Read Russel Nelson's conference talk. Does he really expect non-members to conform to those threats?
"Demanding non-member cooperation" is one of the many ways Mormons bully others. We who can't afford gated communities or impenetrable walls around our property, must be strong in saying "NO". "No soliciting. No trespassing. No abusing our children!" We 99% of the population have the law on our side.
