They were trying to convince me to go to their church for like 10 minutes in 30 degree weather. Anyone been to a Mormon church?

Wonder why they always send 2 guys in their early 20s to knock on people's doors. Usually I'll peep out and see them and know exactly who they are. Jehovah's Witnesses could be anyone but Mormons is always 2 dudes.

Mormons send their kids on "missions", and it's always two. The reason is that they are accountable to each other.

Did you feel bad or did you just want her to notice you?

I somehow misread the topic title as and it was Momma, which had me really confused after reading your post.

I stopped answering my door when I dont know who it is thanks to some religious nuts knocking on my door once and wanting to talk to me about Jesus. And also..

They only send out guys as missionaries so it is easier to prey on the young women.

This. It only takes 15-30 seconds to figure out what theyre trying to sell, tell them to fuck off, and close the door

Missionary work like that is a cult tactic to make their members feel isolated from society by rejections, and they feel like their only connections to others is in their cult

A bit of a life hack you can do is invite them in to help with chores like cleaning, they will help with them lol, and it gives them some time outside the cult

Mormons get paired up so they can 'hold each other accountable for their actions'. They are not allowed to be apart.

One was talking to me and the other was knocking on my neighbor's door before finally walking over. She didn't answer. I only did because I'm expecting a delivery.

Maybe that's why they're usually good looking. Just saying, but I've yet to see an ugly one knock on my door. They come around a few times a year.

The Mormon mission work is like that.

You sign up at 18 or so and they send you somewhere, not necessarily just in America.

One of the kids I grew up with ended up going to Ecuador.

I assume the church pays all their expenses? That may not be a bad gig to travel.

I'm mostly sure they do, yeah.

I always felt bad for the missionaries who ended up in my area.

Small-town USA bullshit and we've already got a whole bunch of Mormons, seems like it would be a letdown.

I've got a Blink doorbell but didn't bother checking because I was certain it was the delivery. Never again.

Just checked and there's a video clip of the first one looking all nervous has he rings the bell. lol

There's a couple guys in our area that do this, volunteer to do chores for older people, etc. I'm always friendly but if they try to talk about church I just let them know I'm not interested and they're pretty respectful of it.

I just tell them not intrested. I had a customer who was JW. Their version of a preacher I guess. Nice dude, btw. Over the years he would try again. Still refused. Nowdays.......I wouldn't be so kind. I had my fill.

This should be the default. Even if they're indoctrinated, they're still people. Don't treat people like shit because they have different beliefs than you. If they can't take a hint, whatever. But opening the door, seeing someone then slamming the door in their face as a default is ridiculous.

My step father took us to a Jehovah's Witness "kingdom hall" when I was a kid. I used to knock on doors with this old man named Clifford and if he suspected someone was home he'd keep on knocking until they were pissed off enough to answer. Once he stuck his foot in someone's door when they tried to slam it. It was embarrassing.

Financing the trip is usually the responsibility of the missionary. They typically live with a family that has volunteered to host them. They get fed by their host family and they regularly have dinner with other members of the church. Most Mormons who intend to go on a mission will start saving early for this. Highschool jobs, family donations, etc.

It's not a war crime the first time.

The last time I opened the door without checking who it was first it ended up being someone from Jehovah's Witnesses continually asking me questions about my religion and I had to pretty much close the door on them after they refused to take no for an answer.

I also was like 13 at the time.

Now that I think about it, I've never actually seen Mormons going door to door here in Los Angeles. It's only ever been Jehovah's Witnesses. Not sure why they do it, honestly. I can't imagine many are receptive to them.

Last time I saw them in my neighborhood, I knew not to answer the door

Not sure why they even come to my neighborhood, you can tell by the houses that it's a waste of time.

Lived across a Morman family as a kid. Dad was the bishop (I believe that was what his position was called) at the local LDS church. He was always a dick and a stereotypical older man who complains about everything in the neighborhood. Everyone else was nice. I was friends with his sons. They did have this sort of stuck up attitude though like they're the kind to be nice to your face and then shit talk you behind your back.

We used to have a couple of church members ride their bikes around the neighborhood knocking on every door. I haven't seen any in a long time. There is a Jehova's Witness church not far from here, but I think I've only seen them once ever in my life.

I felt kind of bad they were walking through the snow in freezing temps. I've never seen them with a vehicle. I guess they park somewhere and walk the streets hoping to find a convert. The church is like 1/2 hour away and I don't know why they're coming to this town. It's at least half black and I've never seen a black Mormon. Not saying there are none but I haven't seen it.

I had some stop me years ago while I was helping someone move. I had a heavy box in my hands and they got in my way and tried to start up a conversation with me.

Well, I'd be a little apprehensive to join a religion that claimed my skin is dark because I'm stained with the sins of my ancestors.

They've since walked that back, but, like, holy shit.

95% sure they purchase their own transportation. That's why "bike missionary" is a stereotype for them, they're a lot cheaper.
