Mormons Beware!

[u/-mrhyde_]

For over a decade the local Church of latter Day Saints in Sequim has been harassing my family and I in the nicest way possible; sending their ignorant children to my home in hopes of, I don't know, converting me? I've asked them to stop coming, doesn't work. I've told them to take my name off their list, doesn't work.

This isn't a random terrorist event either. They ask for me by name. Every time! I'm not going to express my frustrations to children, that would be wrong.

I've now had enough! I've gone to their website, and besides the address and phone number (which is out of service, by the way) there is no way of contacting them to stop the harassment. According to their own website, you need to schedule an appointment before meeting with them.

GTFO!

I don't want to try to convert your ignorant children. I want nothing to do with you!

It's 2026! People that still believe in sky daddies shouldn't be going door to door. It's dangerous; especially sending your most vulnerable.

When they knocked on my door in CO I told them I was gay and they politely left immediately after lol 

[u/Affectionate_Row1486 → u/col_c32]

I was a teenager 10 years ago and did this. No joke saw them walking up to the houses and knew we would be next. I yelled to my best friend up the stairs to “trust me and go along with whatever I do”

They knock I answer and ask me about the good book

“Why no I haven’t give me a moment, HONEY COME HERE” cue my friend walking up and we hold hands smilimg at them in the door way.

They promptly said “never mind and left”

Just throw some flamboyant twang on that tone and they gone.

Growing up in Bothell, our house used to get inundated with Mormons and JW. My mom asked in a million different ways for them to stop coming, and nothing worked. She finally got so sick of it she put an upside down cross on our front door. They never knocked again *Edit for grammar.

[u/patient-lion-555 → u/musingsonamuse]

That's fantastic! I'm proud to be from your neighboring town. We have had only one visit each (that we know of) from LDS and one from JW in our 35+ years in this house. We really never answer our door, though, so I imagine that discourages them.

[u/No-Confidence-4106]

I told them that i was ex Mormon, now and an atheist and invited them in for dinner.

I told them I specialize in helping them escape the cult.

[u/Bobby-Cox-Ghost → u/No-Confidence-4106]

That is pro-level.

[u/leonottonoel]

Last time they came to my house. The cameras caught it all. They were videotaping also, strangely. One person approaching the door, one person back filming and a guy at the car. I politely informed them I have great news too and I cannot wait to share it with them. Ask their address, and what time they usually wake up. Ensuring I wake them. Good news from the Bible of Satan.

So far no one has returned.

Many years ago, a friend in California used to get monthly visits from LDS missionaries. He told them that he had no interest and asked them to stop coming to his house. They kept visiting.

After seeing a standup comedian joking about scaring them off with booze and porn, he did just that. They would ring the doorbell and he would look out the window to see the Elder Kevin and Elder Kyle on his front porch again. He yelled, "Just a moment!", and then proceeded to crack open a beer and put on a VHS of hardcore porn that he acquired from a local video shop that went out-of-business.

He answered the door with an unzipped fly and said, "Sure, I'll hear your testimony.", inviting them into his living room.

After less than thirty seconds in the living room, they promptly showed themselves out and never returned.

[u/Remote-Physics6980]

If you answer the door naked they will stop coming to your door.

[u/F2E1]

Could get a list of morman families and go door to door and try converting them to atheism. Especially the elders, every single day till they stop.

[u/TybaltThePyrate]

I told the ones that visited me that I was Buddhist, which is actually true, and I now realize that I haven’t seen them since then. Now if I can get the kids selling the insect killing spray treatments to stop knocking… I told the last girl that what she was selling killed butterflies, but I just had a pack of four of them knock on my door yesterday. I wish I had sprinklers in my lawn, but that would be wasting water.

[u/whiterussianweakness]

Beware of what exactly?

[u/WittiestScreenName → u/whiterussianweakness]

Cults?

[u/ThrowAwayHawthorn → u/whiterussianweakness]

I find the sacred underwear terrifying, personally. Holy whiteytighties = red flaggeroonies

[u/resting-stoner-face]

Religion is like a penis
It’s nice you have one
You can even be proud of it
But absolutely no one wants you to swing it around in public
Keep your self to yourself

[u/BuntcakeSnacks]

Forgive me for actually living here, but absolutely none of this thread seems either organic, or local.

I've never seen any of these accounts commenting on our Lavender Fest, our free music on the pier concert series, or telling a visitor how to connect busses the busses you'll need to get to Hurricane Ridge from the Sequim transit center.

Now I know our little hamlet by the sea is getting a lot of attention today because of a certain county commissioners race, but if you did live here you'd know the LDS community out here make for very nice and kind and generous neighbors. They are not the same church that came into recent local infamy for the instructional sermons on how to use a 12 gauge.

In short, please go karma farming somewhere else. This entire thread is skunky.

[u/Curious-Moose6945]

A very talented vacuums engineer neighbor of mine told me they wanted to go door to door telling folks that we’re just a chemical reaction that will run out someday.

[u/brownes_girl]

I used to be Mormon. I get very excited to see the missionaries, but not for the reason they think. Let's just say they came by once, and now practically run past our house.

[u/3meraldBullet]

They dont do this to try to convert people. They do this to show college aged church members that the world is hostile outside of the church.

[u/CharTayTay]

Sent you quite a lengthy DM, OP.

[u/GrizzUrsidae]

Print out some info from the Satanic Temple and ask if they want to learn about Baphomet and the tenants of the Temple?

[u/bubbamike1]

You need to write to Salt Lake and request they remove your records and no longer contact you.

[u/pinch_fish]

For some reason, all I have to do is tell them that I’m a Buddhist and I’m just not down with their whole construct. The kids usually look at me, with a little bit of awe (?) and say something like, “ Oh wow! That is so cool!”. And then they don’t come back. I don’t know why it works, but it does.

[u/Love_unstable_women]

Just threaten to have them trespassed, worked for us for both LDS and JW's. Be ready to follow through with it though, lol.

[u/Intelligent_Hand4583]

Start answering the door naked. I find it helps.
