“Delf...if Lds missionaries were Christian, they would recognize and honor Christian homes as already Christian, and not proselytize them.”

Because protestants do that for each other... NOT!

“Instead, what we see is traversing land & sea to make these families twice the son of Mormon.”

So... How do we know that a house is “Christian” by the cross on top? Sign on the door? What if one person there is not “Christian” can we come by or does it need to be 51% of the household?

This is ridiculous. These are young men and women going out into the world to preach of Christ Crucified.

Don't get your panties in a bunch, be polite, say no and go on about your day.

It sure beats the kids doing drugs, or in gangs at that age, and it sure beats unwed mothers at that age, relax!

I talk to missionaries from other churches, even helped some who were lost while I was in Taiwan. They were good guys living what they believed.

My attitude apparently is a strange one, but I'd rather spend time with men of another faith who actually believed and practiced their religion than some men of my faith that didn't keep the teachings of the church.

These LDS missionaries, they are showing by their actions what is in their heart and spending two years preaching the word of God as they understand it. It's not like they are out to get kids into drugs or steal your garbage can...

Delf, yes, we know there are "wheat" and "chaff" in EVERY church body. But we don't do what Mormons do -- write them off as being forever off-limits to Heavenly Father -- if they don't join our particular church!

When it comes to visiting members of other truly Christian denominations, we don't say, "their entire roster are 'apostates'" -- as do Mormons!

Here's what I mean:

“In 1952…the first official proselyting plan was sent to missionaries throughout the world…It included seven missionary discussions that emphasized…[four topics, one of them being]THE APOSTASY and Restoration…” [This makes it 60 years that Mormon church missionaries, now numbering 55,000, have formally emphasized in its training & door to door saturation a priority in bashing the worldwide Christian church as “apostates” (100% AWOL)] Our Heritage: A Brief History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints p. 116, 1996
