Shit, is that what people should be doing? Going door to door and asking if the occupant would like to go on a date?

An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.
Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.
Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

Ngl if people went door to door to talk about LGBTQ+ issues it would not be without reason.
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.
My wife was pissed that some young teenage girls came to our door soliciting souls, and I just said it was fortunate I didn't answer the door. I would have sat on the front porch and discussed things with them, and their parents probably would have been pissed at the atheist putting doubts in their children's heads.
Those discussions are a two-way street, and some teenager that has never encountered a truly alternative viewpoint (since they were either home-schooled or in a cult school) don't really have the advantage over a 40-year-old atheist who grew up Christian.
Cultists in general stay away from me, my friends say I radiat the unhinged madness only borne from an utter disregard for civility. Which is to say I look like I should be running the good backwoods militia in a video game or movie. Frankly I ain't changing how I look past maybe my choice in shirts, the 1990s Swedish army cap stays on when it's 90 degrees out.
the point is to weed out the thinkers to better keep the pyramid scheme going
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.
Doors that are open to go in are also open for leaving.
How do you suggest engaging with a door knocking LDSaint and not get proselytized the entire time
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.
get em to do manual labor
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.
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.
Dear Gay Penthouse,
The whole "forcing their lifestyle onto us" is a red herring, and never was intended as a good faith argument.
Just insane cultist stuff.
Nazis always gotta project.
Since COVID we haven't had a knock on our door... We just occasionally get junk mail from the JW...
Have you got a moment to talk about our REAL lords and saviours RMS and Linus?
Not all religious people. I've never met a proselytizing Muslim, or Bhuddist for example. Christians just happen to have a prophecy that Christ would return once his message has spread around the world.
Funny part is that it already happened if you ask one of those religions that really doesn't proselytize.
Not all Christians…
No, that's exactly the opposite of my point. It is only Christians that do the proselytizing bullshit. Try working on your reading comprehension.
