[TR] Unwelcome visitors

Fri Feb 13 05:55:13 MST 2026

I am not a Mormon, and I too have been on the receiving end of their visits.  But they are only kids and going on a mission is an integral part of their beliefs;  For many it is the first time away from home.

My suggestion is, if you do not want to hear what they have to say, simply to tell them (or anyone else who approaches with a religious leaflet) “thank you, but I’m not interested”.

Let’s not get into ridiculing people.  We probably have several Mormons on this list.

A friend of mine said he received some such visitors once. He invited them in, started raving "I BELIEVE ! I BELIEVE !" and started to disrobe. They left before he got too far. Or so the story goes. Dave ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

Sorry to hear about your pest infestation.  I live in Salt Lake City,
here in Utah which is the main source of such creatures, but alas, I
have no suggestions on how to rid yourself of them.  I know they fear
alcohol, so perhaps insisting they share a pint or two of ale with you
might be sufficient deterrent.
