Mormon church to end door-to-door missionary practice http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/ne...ry-4675510.php When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints fully implements its new online missionary program, it will - if nothing else - at least minimize the occasions in which a firearm is brandished to ward off a pair of Mormons. Elder Joshua Limb and Elder Beaver Ho Ching have some experience with that. Both missionaries, who have served Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana for the past two years, have looked down the barrel of a shotgun while out spreading the word about the Mormon church. But those days may soon be over. Officials with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints announced late last month that the practice of sending its young missionaries door-to-door should come to an end. Missionaries have started incorporating the use of social media and the website Mormon.org to communicate with people who are interested in learning more about Mormonism. One mission in Houston, a test group, stopped going door-to-door last year, said Don Davis, a leader in a Beaumont Mormon church. The move effectively ends the era of sending young men and women into neighborhoods where they might meet some unsavory characters. "Believe it or not, we don't meet the nicest people," Ho Ching, 21, said. Ho Ching and Limb encountered a shotgun-wielding man who demanded they leave his property when they visited the house of a church member who had not attended service in a while. No shots were fired that time. Limb, 20, was not as lucky before he came to Beaumont. In Cleveland, he stumbled across a man who fired an AK-47 assault rifle to scare him off. He was not harmed. Those two occurrences did not deter the young men from continuing their missions. Ho Ching said the only option in a situation like that was to turn the other cheek. Limb said there was a reason for what happened - other than having a good story to tell later. ----------------- Romney's defeat was a major blow to this idiot cult of bigots. | ||

But why would I expect someone who thinks they will get their very own planet when they die to be intelligent enough to figure that out? | |||
