Sister missionaries just knocked on the door apologizing that they haven't been by sooner to meet us. I stopped them there and I told them we don't go anymore, were not interested and the church isn't true. Of course, they said, "well if there is anything that you ever need...blah, blah, blah". And I told them that if they would ever like to hear the truth about the church we would be more than happy to have them over.

This is huge progress for me since leaving a year ago. It was really fun messing with them. I just wish they would have wanted to chat longer, as soon as I said the stuff about the church not being true they were ready to leave. Well at least I gave them something to return and report about.

Sister missionaries are a sign of the church falling away from its roots. Everyone knows the reason you send guys on missions, is so that the leadership has a chance at getting their girls. It defeats the whole intention of missionary work if you send out the girls as well.

This actually reminded me of your post about answering the door to the missionaries by asking "what is wanted" with the mallet. I'm still laughing about that post.

I hate the "well, if there's anything you need"....Well actually, I need you to take out the garbage and shovel some snow. How about that? Right, now, that is what really would help me.

I should've had them come in and load the dishwasher for me; maybe the next set that knocks on my door :)

I would have responded by asking the cuter of the pair out on a date. When she refused, I would have turned to her companion and asked her.

Come to think of it, even though I am straight, this would probably be a thousand times more effective on elders.

Good for you, way to stand up for truth.

Two nice knockers.

"Sank you."

How about: Yeah, there are a few things I need. Like a religion that is willing to be honest about its claims. A religion that really cares about me rather than draining my soul dry for their own aggrandisement. A religion that really delivers on their promises of actually having an avenue to God. A religion that at least once in a while acknowledges that my healthy psychological development may be at least a teensy bit important. Try this next time the missionaries ask.

Missions are useful things? JS sent Orson Pratt, 'Champion of Polygamy', off on a mission so he could make a jump on his wife Sarah. She was so ticked, she fed anti-Morg stories to everybody who would listen (e.g., Eliza Ann Webb Young Denning, Wilhelm Ritter von Wymetal, et al.) for the rest of her long life. Then Orson's brother Parley, out on a mission for his 12th wife, stole Eleanor McComb from her husband Hector McLean and took a fatal stab and pistol shot for his interference. Definitely this mission thing is a flawed idea.

I still remember one set of missionaries that came to my door. After I told them I was no longer a believer, mentioned the problems with the Book of Abraham and a few other things, one of them still asked me if I had any neighbors who might be interested. They’re just pre-programmed robots.

LOL...so true.

Anyone who wanted to give help to humanity would not be searching out well heeled exmormons. They'd be volunteering in schools in poor neighborhoods, in elder care facilities, at soup kitchens or at low income housing units.

Haha! That is so true! They rarely know the real meanings of charity, too busy growing the kingdom to help those Jesus would have.

Congratulations on being able to express yourself to strangers at the door. I was a sister missionary once in a previous life. :) My nephew's wife had some missionaries knock at the door and give the intro to the church, and she told them that they were non-believing members, and been married in the temple. She said they were surprised, and seemed uncertain how to proceed. So she continued by saying they shouldn't worry about if they ever decide to leave the church--that life outside the church is pretty wonderful.

I was going to tell them that dh and i were married in the temple, that they should check out mormonthink and life is good outside the church but they were already running (quickly walking) away. Probably scared that satan might get them if they stayed too long.

My B/F has real good reason to absolutely HATE TSCC. I could not believe it when he fixed the flat tire of one of the two "Sister's" that were lurking/stocking neighbors last month.

He claims they did not mention anything about TSCC, he did not mention his history or his living arrangements (I am about 98 percent moved in and I am trying to figure out if I want to sell my home or rent it out).

Mark gleaned from them one was from Lubbock Texas the other is from Soddy Daisy, Tennessee (we both looked that one up). The problem with Mark is he could could not be so blunt, but he did tell them to not come back as he was an a-millennial baby sprinkling Calvinist. We will see. I am waiting for my visit.

Tell them you practice Santeria and that they're welcome to return if they bring along a live chicken.

Well you could drop your pants and say "this isn't going to take care of itself!"
