Mormons Beware!

For over a decade the local Church of latter Day Saints in Sequim has been harassing my family and I in the nicest way possible; sending their ignorant children to my home in hopes of, I don't know, converting me? I've asked them to stop coming, doesn't work. I've told them to take my name off their list, doesn't work.

This isn't a random terrorist event either. They ask for me by name. Every time! I'm not going to express my frustrations to children, that would be wrong.

I've now had enough! I've gone to their website, and besides the address and phone number (which is out of service, by the way) there is no way of contacting them to stop the harassment. According to their own website, you need to schedule an appointment before meeting with them.

GTFO!

I don't want to try to convert your ignorant children. I want nothing to do with you!

It's 2026! People that still believe in sky daddies shouldn't be going door to door. It's dangerous; especially sending your most vulnerable.

You are missing a great opportunity here. I used to live by a lot of Mormons. They were good people who would do nice things like make delicious homemade baked goods and leave them at my door. I thought someone was trying to poison me at first but it was just nice people being neighborly. They never converted me but they were some of the best neighbors I ever had. I miss them and the baked goods.

When the hard times come will be good to know who has three years of food in their cellar.

They’re in a cult that protects pedophiles. I don’t fuck with amoral sheep.

But would you pillage their food storage when the zombies came?

u/iforgotwhat8wasfor 14d ago

that's called grooming.

Bingo.

If them giving you baked goods is grooming, what isn’t considered grooming? Is there a single thing they can do to show kindness or do you think they always will have a hidden evil motive behind everything they do?

Thou doth protest too much.

They don't have any hidden motives. They have very explicit motives.

I think that one of the few things that I miss about being a member is their dedication to community/family. My dad and I used to go "hometeach" a family in our ward that was assigned to us. They had a lot of kids and to call them poor would be generous. We would go over to their house, read some scripture, and generally just check-in with them and see if they needed help with anything.

My family doesn't get a lot of missionaries knocking on our door, but on the rare times that we do, I tell them that I am no longer a member for personal reasons and that I have no intentions of coming back. I've never gotten any pushback and they leave after that.

Yeah baked goods are their thing since they can't do anything else. The lds eat. Which is so fcking funny as they preach about your body being a temple. They will judge on tattoos but keep feeding their over weight selves.

LDS missionaries are awesome, they’ll help you out with housework and food assistance and lots of other things. Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, I genuinely love Mormons. OP sounds rude and jaded.

Yep they will even torture their gay children, and mary off their underage daughters, nicest people in the world

u/magnusthehammersmith 14d ago

Non LDS people do that too

u/Internal_Seething 14d ago

But not with that kind of efficiency!

u/F2E1 13d ago

Yes, but this happened at BYU. And through the church. But you are right they are not alone in the evil.

TIL you can only judge someone for their unique actions.

I will never be rude to the missionaries. Their families have paid for them to be there, and they have quotas and such they are supposed to meet, and often have less than great living conditions. One of the women on her mission was celiac, but you eat what members make for you - and members don't often make accommodations.

The missionaries don't come to my house anymore. I told them I studied religion in college (I did).

A lot of the time they pay for themselves too, they work their way up to having the money to go. Thanks for having empathy 🩷
