A local church has 4 young guys in an apartment in the complex. They ride in the car or on bicycles talking to whoever will talk with them. They came asking about my faith one day while I was outside and I told them our church is the best in the area by far and I've been ther since childhood and told them they should come check us v out. They wave ,say hello but won't stop to talk anymore.

Trust me on this. It works.


Ask them to pray with you. They will get excited with a glimmer of hope.

Then tell tell them you'd like to start with the Hail Mary and begin saying the words "Hail Mary" very slowly.

They will get super pissed and begin to try to leave quickly.

Chase after them asking why they won't pray with you.

I've found this method to be the most satisfying.

I feel like they are all in a dumbfounded stage of being nice to everyone. It's weird almost like they are robotic.

Most of them are genuinely nice kids. A lot of people assume that the church pays for their mission when they cover 100% of the cost themselves . Most of them have been mowing lawns, babysitting, and working every summer since they were 10 years old to pay for it. Many also go to really shitty places. My uncle went to Iran in 78 and barely made it out and an aunt went to Columbia.

I agree but it's like they have a haze around them. It's like I want to snap my fingers at them and wake them up out of a false reality.

They always show up at my place when I'm drinking. You know between 9AM and noon on a Saturday. I usually just talk to them and ask them if they want a beer.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My whole family is LDS. The haze never really goes away.

Growing up I spent my summers in Provo. It can be some real life Stepford Wives shite.

No.

That's the Jehovah's Witnesses, I think. Mormons don't really have any weird medical (at least ) beliefs.

A Latter Day Re-Gift:Why are Islam and Mormonism so similar? Because the devil forgot to check Google Calendar for birthdays, apparently.

Offer them a beer for their troubles. I'm sure they'd accept

Always invite them inside. Once we sit down and I ask them what they'd like to talk about, they tell me they've never gotten this far before.
