Messing With Mormons

[jamesq]

There I was walking home from the CO-OP with groceries when what do I see coming my way? Two well-dressed, clean cut, young men wearing name badges proclaiming that they are Elder Ezekiel and Elder Nathaniel. Swell, I think, here we go again.

They motion for me to stop as I'm passing. I do so and take off my headphone.

"Could we help you with your bags?"
"That's alright, I think I can manage."
"Well then, can we share a message of Jesus' love with you?"
"No. God is evil, and it would be immoral to worship a being who has brought so much misery and suffering to the world."

They had some kind of response to that but I had replaced my headphone and was walking away from them at this point.

Sometimes I can be a real prick. :D

Re: Elders

I asked about the pairs thing. Apparently they used to go out alone but one day an Elder (or whomever, it was a guy) was alone in a house with a woman and she claimed he assaulted her while giving her a "session".

So since then they go in two's for both their protection & the people they see. Also - they wouldn't speak to me alone for the info sessions - I had to have someone there or at least in the house because I am a woman.
