[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're extremely nice, which makes me feel uncomfortable and sorry for them. I briefly worked with a former member of that church, who told me [b]they are very carefully coached on what to do and say[/b] during their missionary work. She did not go into details, but I got the impression it was suffocating. I would not want my teens raised in such an environment.

My husband is a pastor and had missionaries in his apartment building try to convert him before they knew he was a pastor. They had a meeting (after finding out he was a pastor, it wasn’t a trap) but the missionary had very scripted responses they repeated over and over. They ended up just saying something like “well we know this is true and we aren't going to convince you so we’ll just leave.” Almost like we aren’t going to waste our time. The pitch works for some people but if they find someone it won’t work on they cut their losses and move on. [/quote]This is true. Mormonism is what the Bible calls “another gospel” and it should be avoided.

Mormons came to my door not knowing I was biblically literate. When I asked, “Why would someone whose language is 1800s English translate into 1600s English,  a language that was no longer spoken? Could it be Joseph Smith wanted his book of Mormon to seem like the Bible?”

The leader said, “King James English is the language of God!”

I countered by saying the Bible was translated from Greek and Hebrew scrolls long before there was a country called England.

They shook my hand and left.
