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.

That was intentional ya freak.

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?

I bet I know why they stopped this.

A few decades ago I was living in a typical party house with a bunch of other early 20's guys and whatever women were floating around at any given time and we were sitting around being hungover and inventing a game with throwing knives and the wall and betting on swigs from various bottles of liquor we'd left on the deck that had been in the sun all morning...and two Mormons came to the door and asked to come in. We said sure of course you can come in. They came in and talked, I am not sure if anybody listened, our game was pretty entertaining.

A few days later one of the mormons came back. He had a case of beer and asked if he could watch tv with us. We said sure come on it. It turned out that he had never had a beer before and lived in some fucked up compound with no television and he was really impressed with our rear-projection tv. And he wanted to throw a knife at a wall. We had forgotten about that game but revived it, and he got drunk as shit for the first time in his life.

He ended up just hanging around, I guess he lived with us. Which is kinda how the house worked anyways, people would party and not leave and end up being just..there...I didn't really pay attention, but he seemed to be there all the time after that.

The last time I remember seeing him before I left town for awhile we had sicked one of the girls on him and he had been hitting the bong pretty hard, and he was a really, really happy guy.


I bet that's what they're afraid of. Not the rude/crazy/violent people. The people that might provide experiences beyond the control of the church. It's one thing to engage with people from the safety of the internet. Life happening right in front of them is a whole different ballgame though. I bet lots of their little lambs are trotting outside and finding their horns. And they can't have tithes just getting up and walking away. That's not good for their construction companies.
