So my neighbors and I were playing Puzzle Fighter and um, doing some things that make you paranoid, and I heard rather loud knocking at my door... Needless to say, I go into a fit of paranoia, especially considering I can't look out my peephole and see who it is, because it's all messed up or something. Anyway, I open the door, see two guys in dress shirts and ties and stuff, and I'm totally confused. Then they mentioned something about Jesus, and I responded with "I have no idea what is going on right now." and slammed the door in their faces. My neighbors were mortified. I was still confused. Should I write them an apology letter?
I was having a party for a friend about to get married once. Mormon missionaries stopped by the house. I invited them in for a burger. Just me and friends grilling out and drinking beer, really. I'm sure that didn't sit well with the missionaries, but they didn't freak out about it. Nice guys. They ate a burger each...had some water...were pleasant. Watched a bit of football with us. And then left. It was mildly awkward, but I prefer it that way, anyway.
Actually the most rude encounter I ever had with a Mormon missionary was some guy who said "ni hao ma" to me. I gave him a look of death, and if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't feel like wasting my breath at the "who me?" blank expression on his face, I would have seriously given him a piece of my English speaking mind.
i must admit...i can't remember if caffeine is off-limits for Mormons or not. i know at one point it was. but i had a very close and DEVOUTLY Mormon friend in law school who drank sodas. so i offered a coke and they said, "do you have any water?" of course i had water.
Well I think one of the first rules of being a Missionary is that you should never assume that you know anything about the person you're trying to reach. I mean, I was reading the New York Post at the time he said that to me. I wasn't just carrying it like Iw as pretending I knew ENglish, I had my nose buried in the sports section
I've chilled with some Mormons and it really is kind of interesting how they are. You can pretty much ask them anything and even insult them to their face and they keep smiling and will do their best to answer you. My cousin is a theology major and he is very interested in Mormon culture, so we got a tour of the new center they built and it was one of the most impressive buildings I have ever seen. Overall they are some of the nicest people in the world. I spent a couple days in Utah last year and Salt Lake City almost seems like a European town, very clean, very well kept. All the Mormon people I talked to were nice and seemed to be cool to talk about whatever, now the Jazz fandom on the other hand, me no likely.
I can't stand solicitors. There's two types of Mormons, Latter Day Saints and Latter Day Aints <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HL4zjGk_PBE&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HL4zjGk_PBE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
LDS Church used to be one of my major accounts several years ago. Yes, the HUGE temple in Salt Lake City. Caffeine used to be taboo.....HOWEVER......since they own shares in Coca Cola, caffeine is ok now. They have Coke machines all over in that HUGE temple now.
Absolutely. If only your look of death would have actually worked, we wouldn't have these assholes walking around assuming. DEATH to all assumers!
I know. I was just about to post that it wasn't true, but man....before I could even post again (had to wait the 30 seconds) you already put it up here. Geeeeeze...
I was in Vegas Halloween night, and there were all kinds of freaks out on the strip. Two guys were dressed up as morman missionaries. They had it down; clean cut, the slacks, the comfortable shoes, white button down and tie, the backpack..........they had the whole thing down. Except for the beers they were chugging.
