40% of Mormon missionaries leave their church after their missions.
Don’t turn them away. Talk to them with kindness and compassion, and understand that they grew up as victims of a cult. Show them there is so much more to the world than the what the LDS church tells them.
I would, except they vandalized my house and later (a different set of mormons) showed up to only want to peep through our windows. I don’t want those creeps coming by my house for any reason.
Uhh my first husband and I told the guy he could give us his spiel if he did it nude. He did, we all blew each other, he admitted he was bi and was planning to leave the church after his mission ended. So, yeah. You could do that without even exchanging bodily fluids if you wanted.
Tell them the truth of the so called Book of Abraham. It’s a part of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead that Joseph Smith “translated” an erroneous copy of which is in the standard works that each member carries and studies on a regular basis.
The only time I ever had them come to my house was when I was in my mod 20s, a year or so after I finally admitted to myself I didn’t believe in God anymore. I don’t really remember what they asked. Something about some time to talk about God. I sort of teared up and said no I didn’t want to. It was sad. Because I knew they were in the same shit I was in, though I wasn’t a Mormon, just bible belt Christian. I just really didn’t wanna talk to them. The worst part is that I think in that moment they probably thought they broke through to me or something. Or got me thinking about it. Which only made it more difficult.
You ask them thought provoking questions about Mormonism to get them to think critically about the foundations of their beliefs. Show them what it’s like to be treated like a human being and not a propaganda machine.

the point is to weed out the thinkers to better keep the pyramid scheme going
Doors that are open to go in are also open for leaving.

Dear Gay Penthouse,
How do you suggest engaging with a door knocking LDSaint and not get proselytized the entire time
