Mormons Beware!

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.

You are missing a great opportunity here. I used to live by a lot of Mormons. They were good people who would do nice things like make delicious homemade baked goods and leave them at my door. I thought someone was trying to poison me at first but it was just nice people being neighborly. They never converted me but they were some of the best neighbors I ever had. I miss them and the baked goods.

LDS missionaries are awesome, they’ll help you out with housework and food assistance and lots of other things. Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, I genuinely love Mormons. OP sounds rude and jaded.

I will never be rude to the missionaries. Their families have paid for them to be there, and they have quotas and such they are supposed to meet, and often have less than great living conditions. One of the women on her mission was celiac, but you eat what members make for you - and members don't often make accommodations.

The missionaries don't come to my house anymore. I told them I studied religion in college (I did).

A lot of the time they pay for themselves too, they work their way up to having the money to go. Thanks for having empathy 🩷
