I used to watch him and he did not proselitize. Yes he was also a Presbyterian minister, but that didn’t show up in the show.

I could hear everything they said on my ring camera.

One girl says to the other "If a man answers play with your hair flirt with him to get him to listen".

Let's just say I was not the person they wanted answering the door.

Cult

They are not allowed to come in at all if a man is home alone, and flirting would be completely frowned upon, so I very much doubt that story. The two girls were probably scammers, not LDS...good thing you didn't answer!

I don’t need help loading my groceries into my car. Come over and clean out my gutters, and I’ll let you tell me about Mormonism for half an hour.

I hate no one. But I do hate cults and their indoctrination tactics.

I mean, you don't want the ice cream to melt.
Has anyone else seen this?

Yes, they hang at my local Asian Grocery store parking lot.
I love to pester them LOL.
Usually two young men who can not add or subtract and read at like a 5th grade level.

Please... so bigoted (and in error).

You have to differentiate between the people and the institution. There are plenty of very kind LDS people.

The very poor pay 10% of their income, which is often very, very little, and in exchange receive many welfare benefits (along with their spiritual sustenance). The institution is not getting rich from the widow's mite. We do value working toward self sufficiency, budgeting and actually observing commandments in the Bible.
