Nana, you have had a hundred times more (and worse) exposure to Mormons than I! I have not had any of the encounters you have had although I have read stories similar to yours. My experience with the few Mormons I have met and known have been pleasant and nonchalant. This is why I do not have strong views toward Mormons/Mormonism as do you and colorcountry. However, if I’d had the same experience you had at 19, I think I would not take too kindly to being harassed.
Me 2.

The mormons who kept coming to my door wanting me to get dead dunked for my ancestors who had been dead for 300 years were very charming...
They told me all about the information on all my relatives that had been collected and stored in Chryenne Mountain...imagine that...oh, joy salvation is a cave full of copies of old documents on my first New World families...
However it did get quite intense when they started to fight over me with the JWs for who was going to get me as a slave in their individual afterlifes...
I dont know who was the craziest...the JWs who claimed me as a slave first...or the mormons who begged me to reconsider and be their slave instead...
I was a Blood brought spiritfulled Christian and and therefore a juicy prize...neither side was giving in...
Have you ever been in the middle of a battle between two cults...its pathetic...but fun...it went on for weeks..the mormons trying their best to remember to “stay sweet” to me...the JWs not caring in the least...
LOL at least the JWs were more honest...

After I graduated for college I took the LSAT...January, 1982
A fat guy in shabby USAF uniform was sitting at the front of the room...
Before the test began he got up and announced to the packed room that he was a mormon and had just flown in from Germany to take the test...
he laughed at the room and said that none of us would pass the test and we may as well just go home...
I was appalled and embarrased for him and wished i was still in the USAF so I could get him for his rotten appearance...some girls were upset...some people objected to what he said...others asked what a “mormon” was???
But he was just getting warmed up...he shouted over the objections and mocked them...
He claimed he was the only one who would pass the test because his “bishop” had prayed for him before he got on the plane and to paraphrase, pronounced a curse on us all...
Now at the back of the room near the door were several big old linebacker types, and I was in the line of fire...if those jocks all tackled that one flabby mormon I was going to get crushed...
Right then the instructor came in with the test and his fat stupid heathen hide was saved by the bell...
