No kidding, I just about died when I drove through a busy intersection in Chandler AZ at 10am to see to 2 missionaires standing on the street corner holding signs while dancing and flipping the signs. Each mish had a white posterboard. The first mish's sign read, "Families are 4-ever". The second, "Christ Lives." This has to be a new low. They looked really bad and I sincerely felt sorry for them. I really can't believe that this is the best use of their time?

We used to make fun of the churches doing tacky stuff like that when I was a missionary. Who knew that I was in one of the tackiest churches around!

That's how they sell mattress's and pizza's in our neck of the woods.

Well, that's the perfect strategy. First they fill you with a meal, get you on a mattress & then f#@k your mind forever.

I've seen business like little ceasers pizza do this kind of stuff. But missionaries? That's got to pretty pathetic and desperate!

"Desperate" and "pathetic". Well said. At least when you see the pizza signs being flipped you know what to do. When you drive past the mish'is flipping signs you fell like throwing them so change.

...please, would it be possible to get a foto of this craziness? We could show it around to our TBM friends and get their opinion; "Is this the "Hastening the Work" the First Presidency is all jazzed about?"

...this almost sounds like a prank.

The economy is going down like Lindsay Lohan, and the missionaries are training for the only jobs they'll find after their missions.

no signs that say "will proselytize for food" ?

Wonder if they will still be doing that in July

OMG!

When I was a mish, we had to report our time on a 'planner' we filled out each day, then sent them in (believing the MP would read them).


we sometimes 'fudged' putting "Mr." before a movie title, or street name, etc.


How to report that???

Tuesday, 20 May 2014: 4 hours spent making street contacts.

Those who don't want to see it can turn or avoid them after the first glance.

Is this practice foolish and demeaning? Yes, but not as bad as trespassing on private property. Now mishies go to doors where they've been told to stay away. They lie and play dirty tricks to gain access to locked apartment and condo developments. They refuse to leave when residents demand it.

It seems way better for them to use the time on public street corners flipping signs. At least they won't be waking sleeping babies or interrupting anyone's nap, sexual activities, dinner, or homework projects.

So true.

What I don't understand is how the missionaries justify entering an apartment building and going door to door when the sign on the building says NO SOLICITING.

Do they NOT believe they are soliciting?

Do they think this does not apply to sales of religion?

What?

They should have them in a hotdog costume with the face of JS, BY, TSM...

Here is the sure sign of the nail mother frickers.

Hey elder, hey elder, I'm going to flip the 1st token of the Melchizedek priesthood at the next car.
