[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we're all agreed then, missionaries Do proselytize?[/quote]
So do people who are not missionaries[/quote]

It’s a yes or no question.[/quote]

DP. The truth? Nobody trusts you enough to answer.

You’re posing a hypothetical where you deliberately fail to define “proselytize.” The word “proselytize” could mean anything from answering questions about that cross on the clinic wall to forcing conversions on people in need of surgery. You clearly mean the latter, even though you’ve utterly failed to document that sort of forced-conversions.

We all know that if we answer your hypothetical, your next post will more dishonest spin along the lines of, “Yes! We all agree missionaries force conversions.”

No takers, no surprise.  [/quote]

You are confusing multiple posters.

I’ll ask this question again - maybe this is less triggering for you:

Is it ethical for missionaries to verbally try to persuade people to “invite Jesus into their lives” - with words not just deeds or props - during vulnerable moments of the people they are helping? To verbally [b]proselytize[/b] during service work?

Ways to proselytize:
- by example (several here say that’s what they do)
- answer questions about the cross on the wall 
- give out free pamphlets or bibles (the Gideons) with no verbal suasion
- lecturing/verbal persuasion 
- require someone convert before receiving food or medical care (you have zero proof this happens, also as many have pointed out, someone can say the words and then go home and believe whatever they believed before, but you apparently think poor people are too stupid to make their own choices)

We all know, as your last sentence confirms, that #4 is what you’re obsessed with. Even though you have zero proof this ever happens today, and several here have said it doesn’t happen. Even though any intelligent person on the receiving end could mouth the words (you can’t seem to understand that poor people can make their own choices).

So anybody engaging with you is going to have their words twisted by you AND by your sock puppet/sad little sidekick who likes to spin things into “we all agree missionaries do XYY.”

Why bother engaging with you? No need to use stupid words like “trigger” when the real reason is that we all know you’re straight-up dishonest.

Are you saying that you think #4 [u]never[/u] happens?

You don’t think missionaries ever talk about Jesus and try to persuade people to “invite him into their lives”?
