just let us be…we are LDS and we are not brainwashed…i did not grow up LDS and did not become a member until i was 24…this was the BEST decision i have ever made…with out this i would feel lost…i feel sorry for you…
How.. not racist. To stereotype all people of faith as ‘religious people’ and then to admit wanting to kill them. How is that any better than racist feelings, really?
Yes, there are people who believe differently to you. Yes, they’re excited about it and want to share it with you. They might be ‘crazy relgious people’ but at least their message is one of peace and love, not the ‘normal sane person’ thoughts of wanting to kill anyone of faith. Pah. Suck it up and learn some of this same tolerance you’re looking for.
you don’t have to be rude just because you don’t want to hear what they want to share a message with you. that message could potentially change your life, even if you think that your life is saved without religion. i’m LDS & understand that you may not want someone interrupting your day with a knock on the door, but if you don’t want to hear what they have to say – then just say no thank you. there’s no need to say that you think about killing them, that’s sad.
I belive we do hate spams. What would you do if they were not only in your mailbox, but also knocking on your door? firs 20 times, polite, next20 natural, next 20 rude. fck them.
hey, i’m what some people would call religious, but i understand how you feel. That’s why i don’t do the whole door to door thing. But i do believe they’re doing what they believe to be right and something courageous, in that they know exactly how much you resent them knocking. Just share what you believe or don’t, open their minds and let yours be opened.
lmfao. Seriously, “Jesus?” My boyfriend is LDS, and he’s not fucked up. Neither is his family. They’re also the least pushy religious people I’ve ever met.
So, uh.. To say the least, you’re dumb.
Anyway, Raydean! glad you accepted it, and learned it wasn’t just a cult thing. I’m not sure exactly how LDS got villainized, really.. Maybe some weird off-shoot group.. But, you can’t really count those, now can you? Minority doesn’t count for anything, now does it?
It’s true that it religion helps a lot of people, I often wish I could have the faith of some of the people I have met. Saying that, turning up on someones doorstep and pestering them to change their/take on your ideals is an invasion of privacy. I am sure that most people are intelligent enough to find out about religions that they are interested in on their own terms without having their free time at home interrupted by strangers. One person interested in converting my family (I won’t say what to) came to my house in the remote English countryside. My mother was out in the garden doing some gardening. My sister was in our bottom garden playing. When my mum took the path to the bottom garden, this man had let himself in through the gate, taken my sister on his lap and was trying to get her to listen to his opinion. My sister was 8 years old.
Now, I will always turn people away from my door, no matter what religion. I am happy going to Church occasionally with my family as I always have. If I feel the need to change my religious views, I’m big enough and old enough to do it my way.
This secret breaks my heart. My older brother has been in Sweden for 2 years knocking on those doors.
I feel sick, knowing there are people who may have those same thoughts for him.
Please think before you speak. I am a mormon and everything you said is very untrue. You dont have to like us but please dont lie about us. We are not a cult, we are christian and beleive in Jesus Christ, my brother is serving a mission. He is giving up two years of his life to help spread the peace and knowledge he has found in our religion
Can I point out that before the noosphere, our ancestors lived fine on their own? Animals today live fine without “God” or “Ala”. They continue to live normal and NATURAL lives without any complications. Because humans have such large IQ’s, we can process many things which also leaves room for lots of doubt. So it’s completely normal to try and come up with theories that help us cope with our fears, but it’s simply not logical. Religion is the start of so many wars and I realize that it does in fact help many people through hard times, but all the same, it’s not logical.
Plus, more than one religion states that if you are not a follower of their own beliefs, you will go to hell. And since we can assume that no one has more than one religion, we can assume that we all are in fact going to hell.
Wasn’t this site made to let people express and share their DEEPEST and DARKEST secrets that they are most likely ashamed of? How dare you try and accuse someone of such a horrible deed while you yourself are committing just as bad of a sin. Tu quoque.
And while you claim that “religious people” are harboring a message of peace and love, why are there so many lives lost over simple disputes of beliefs? Religion is just another reason for people to fight and in this day and age, we need to now more than ever come together and settle our differences. But in a way that does not try to control another’s thoughts. You are trying to alienate this person by stating that their thoughts are not humane and if they truly were not humane, they would not be humanly possible to be thought of.
I am glad that there are young people out there who are doing something other than getting drunk and being obnoxious. I understand that its uncomfortable..here’s a secret, tell them you aren’t interested and to put your address in their area book as a DO NOT RETURN. Yep, I knocked on doors for 18 months. At least we were LIVING our beliefs, instead of espousing them and doing whatever the hell we wanted.
My husband and I work long weeks…only quality time we have together with our son as a family is Saturday morning. Saturday …cooking breakfast…listening to some nice chill music…laughing..Ten thirty sharp…the doorbell rings. I answer…listen to their introduction and replied with ‘we worship satan’. This was after weeks..same time every Sat telling them ‘we are not interested’. They did not come back for three months. And when they did…I was told that I was selfish for not opening my heart to the ‘word’ and choosing to spend time with my family that Saturday morning instead of listening to another interpretation of the Bible. It is infuriating on mine and my family’s behalf as well as infuriating that this brainwashing continues and these people are so convinced that I am damned. How sad.
Do you know anything about missionaries at all? They are all 19 year old boys who give up two years of their lives! No school, no facebook, no internet. My best friend is in Chile right now. In the two years that he will be gone he could be through two years of school. But he decided that he wanted to go on a mission and saved up HIS money to go. YOU and anyone else who judge the mormons DO NOT know them. If your going to wish someone in the world to be rid of it should be people like you.
i’ve tried going to church to ‘save my soul’
everytime i go, i become more convinced that i don’t believe in Religion.
and i hate it when people say ‘you’re going to hell if you dont go to church.’
i’m only 13.
I am not defending the person you commented on, but I too see religion as a cult. I am not referring to Mormons in general. Please see one definition of the word Cult.
Cult pejoratively refers to a group whose beliefs or practices could be, reasonably or unreasonably, considered strange.
You spelled “Allah” wrong. If your going to insult someone atleast use spell-check. I feel that you need to do more reserch before you bash religion all together.
Women go out for 18 months when they are 21 years old, if they CHOOSE. They are not married. Nobody forces them into anything. They use their own money and choose to give up their time. Younger missionaries are NOT married, although older couples have the option to go if their children are grown. Nobody is FORCED to do anything.
God loves you and I love you too. One day you will know that the emptiness you feel is because you are missing something. I will pray for you so you can figure it out on your own.
Everyone needs religion or God in there life you are not saved just by believing. You have to repent and be baptized and persevere to the end. The problem comes when man thinks he is better than God or smarter than God. Guess what! We are not God so lets not play God. Humans and animals can live because God created us so that we would be able to survive. We have brought everything upon our shelve. God loves you and I love you too. I will pray for because you know not of what you speak.
I feel for your struggle.
KNOCK KNOCK……..
haha
My little brother is a missionary.
Please don’t and please don’t joke about it either.
You need help.
Question…why would you want to kill someone who is trying to share something with you to save your life?
I wonder why they keep coming back?
my life is saved already without religion, why can’t people understand that? not everybody needs religion.
Amen to that…I mean, F*uck yeah! Watch Religulous people…because religion is rediculous.
Thanks for the laugh
Same here,
I always slam the door in their face, and they STILL come back.
good. mormons are fucked up people. and fuck that shit. they are soo brainwashed they have to go door to door just to get you to join there cult.
No God solicitors allowed!!
OMG Meee Tooo!
just let us be…we are LDS and we are not brainwashed…i did not grow up LDS and did not become a member until i was 24…this was the BEST decision i have ever made…with out this i would feel lost…i feel sorry for you…

I think about killing everyone who knocks on my front door. I try not to alienate groups of people.
hey, i’m what some people would call religious, but i understand how you feel. That’s why i don’t do the whole door to door thing. But i do believe they’re doing what they believe to be right and something courageous, in that they know exactly how much you resent them knocking.

Religious people have stopped knocking at our door. They go to everyone in the street except us.
They finally got the message. Hahaa.
Thats so rude. They help so many people.

If you found out religion was the truth, would you think you don’t need it then?
I’m Catholic. And I would never change that.
But.
Some of my best friends in the world are Mormon.
And I wouldn’t change them for the world.
Please think before you speak. I am a mormon and everything you said is very untrue. You dont have to like us but please dont lie about us.

If.
It’s like cold-calling and spam mailing. Knocking on somebody’s door doesn’t sell anymore. Try commercials or billboards.

“Fuck you.

That’s what’s wrong with this world.”
Looks like you can preach 10 sermons, but can’t even practice your own.
Because people are always too polite to ask them to stop coming, or explaining that they are not interested in what the missionaries are preaching.
i totally agree with you. i think the world would be a better place without them.
I am glad that there are young people out there who are doing something other than getting drunk and being obnoxious. I understand that its uncomfortable..here’s a secret, tell them you aren’t interested and to put your address in their area book as a DO NOT RETURN. Yep, I knocked on doors for 18 months.

Next time they knock tell them: we worship satan in this home.

Thank you Rita. For being a person who does’t have to agree with the mormon faith but respects them and doesnt judge. Thank you
Surprise surprise…from all of that you took it that we are judgmental. And you are…
O. They arent just 19 year old boys. Women are sent out by their husbands to do this ‘work’ as well. Maybe the approach requires a bit of tweeking….
i’ve tried going to church to ‘save my soul’
