The term investigator

[_Mercury]

Another term I heard a few times from one missionary was equating the term humble with teachable. Is this the general LDS consensus?

I've heard it was meekness equated with teachable.

meek != gullible

Let us not forget that rare, most valued investigator: The Golden Investigator! He who asks few questions, and readily accepts anything you tell him before his quick baptism.

I think a better term for a golden investigator should be ROI investigator

Actually the Golden Investigator is the one who is interested enough to ask questions. The one who passively listens to you is the one who is never going to do much of anything.

its the type of questions that matter. I always knew when our GI's were turning sour when they started asking christianity inspired questions, such as framing the question in terms of "the trinity", "Saved", "Grace", etc.

Its funny how also we were taught how to "Prepare for anti", making sure the neighbors or family were not discussing the church with them and stuffing the investigators heads full of assertions that the missionaries were the authority on Mormonism. Assinine.

Oh! Everyone kept telling me I was a "golden investigator".

Heres the thing. To the missionary those who live or have a close relationship with a member usually are classed as golden.

Why do they stop investigating once they are baptized?

Because when they see bitter people like you, they'd rather live in Disneyland.

Oh look its the excommunicated Mormon from down under.

I know, I know Ray, we've heard it many times before... you'd rejoin if you could give up the booze and fornication.
