Whoever said recently here that Mormons don't go door-to-door anymore and only go to a home to preach if they were requested by someone wasn't accurate. Two ladies were just at my door and I'm watching them now going to all the neighboring houses.

I have a big note on my door that says "No solicitation, brochures, sales, information, etc. Thank you." and they completely ignored that, too.

How many luxury items do you own?

How do you even answer that? One person's luxury is another's necessity.
I own 2 Macs and a Tag Heuer watch that i found at a flea market in a backpack. So I always say 3

ex-fiance is Mormon, they *DO* go door to door if they are asked to from their LDS church.

going to look for pots and pans to cook fish now #turkfit so excited to start cooking at my apartment.
Why not just create a ahk script to mousemove over the box?

As far as I know they do, but they should have paid attention to your sign, that was their own bad choice.

They do sometimes still if they are desperate and don't have leads. The LDS church is trying to de-emphasize the cold-calling stuff but blech. I get chased down all the time even though I've had my name removed from the records. Since they specifically come to my house, I know some family member or old friend is giving them my info. It really upsets me.

Yeah, I let them say their name and where they were from, and then said "no thanks" and pointed to the sign and closed the door.

I just found this. It looks like they're in the process of ending door-to-door practice but must not have completely stopped yet. "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." http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/n...ch-to-end-door-to-door-missionary-4675510.php

Another pregnancy story. Yea!

When I was in labor 6 years ago, I was walking around the front of my house. My ex was getting the other kid ready to go to the babysitter so we could go to the hospital.
2 young Mormon men walk up to and start their spiel.
I'm breathing hard and trying not to scream at them. I saw, "I can't talk right now. I'm in labor".
And they just keep going and going....
I was getting slightly annoyed, but I just ignored them and got in the car. They followed me to the car and asked if they could come back later.

Somehow I didn't bite their heads off, but no whenever I see them on their little bicycles I think of that.

I would have yelled "are you trying to see my vagina, b/c you're about to see my fucking vagina"

Yup. They said the church's name and were wearing name tags on with their names and "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" printed on it.
I get JW occasionally and will not be nasty to them as at a bad time in my life they helped me and didn't ask for anything in return but I just take their literature and say thanks. I'm surprise any of them still do all of the door to door stuff as it's not really safe anymore.

I would be so, so angry. What is wrong with them? I know they're just kids so I try to cut them some slack but if someone is in fucking labor...
