These people haunting the temples are a nuisance.

Hard to see how that relates to the image of Mormons being nice people.
I am quite surprised that Moses Lake Washington has a temple. Town is a smallish stop between Seattle and Spokane. Perhaps smallish has grown since I was last there but still ...?

Re: Mormons don't seem to enjoy proselytizing in their neighborhoods
I love how the Mormon prays with the man and then tells him, "get the f@*$k out of my neighborhood!" That's just the type of passive-aggressive behavior we come to know and love from the Mopologists.

Re: Mormons don't seem to enjoy proselytizing in their neighborhoods
I'm cringing now, but as a missionary we used similar tactics (street board near churches, both small and mega). Mormons proselytizing good, non-members proselytizing bad.
The man proselytizing actually seems like a decent, nice man. It's unfortunate the Mormons are cursing him out and saying all sorts of derogatory things.

Re: Mormons don't seem to enjoy proselytizing in their neighborhoods
Certainly, folks trolling with these kinds of signs are a test of a person's "inner Mopologist". Recall that DCPs counter-counter-cult career began when he accidentally called a counter-cult organization on the phone one day, thinking it was a local ward. He was not happy that someone out there in the world didn't believe his Church is true and dared exercise their libertarian rights to tell other people about it. How dare they. Did they not know that he had a Phd? They would get a piece of his mind for sure.
Folks engaged in these kinds of antics are likely sensitive, and instead of swearing or telling them off, kindness would likely go a long way.
I do think it is true that if you are a church that proselytes heavily, you can't tell other people where they have to draw the line in their own efforts. It's like hitting below the belt in a boxing match, and then complaining when your opponent cheats worse.

Indeed. The hostile Mormon approached them and wanted to pray that "the hatred in their hearts would disappear" but once it was clear that wasn't working, he went straight to the F-bomb, H-bomb, and tried to intimidate them by driving his car aggressively close to them.Gadianton wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 12:25 amCertainly, folks trolling with these kinds of signs are a test of a person's "inner Mopologist".

Scary stuff. And a good view of Mormons behind the masks.
