I noticed a few posts on my neighborhood Nextdoor site (which is generally very lame) last week that were complaining about missionaries. They appeared to be from LDS people complaining that missionaries have been stopping to offer rides to people (like children) who were walking to church. They were not pleased that two weird guys in a car were trying to lure random people into their car.
So, today I was out for a walk, minding my own business in my little residential neighborhood. A small gray car approached me with two guys in it. They slowed down and lowered the window. At first my spidey senses were triggered, but I figured maybe they wanted to ask directions. I turned to face them and immediately noticed a name tag and white shirt on the guy sticking his head out of the window. I decided to ignore him and keep walking. So, he yells at me, "Do you know about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?" I made some kind of "good grief" comment and ignored them. They drove off. Sure enough, I saw them stopping to annoy some other person out walking their dog.
What is up with this? IMO, you shouldn't just approach people (especially old ladies and children) because of, well, abductions, robbery, etc. I'm not talking about emergencies or asking for directions. Is this a "lazy tracting" tactic now? They just drive around wasting gas. I'm sure knocking on doors and having no one answer is getting old.
I might add that some LDS girls trying to love bomb a neighbor nearly got shot recently in my town by some geezer who doesn't like people on his property.
Anyway, I found these two little shit missionaries yelling at me from their car on my own street completely off putting. I would be very pissed if they approached my little granddaughter from their car for any reason.
Is this a new thing? Do you think this is an effective way to do missionary work? This is the first time I've been approached this way.
