Mormon Missionaries.

[Greed and Death]

Well long story short I was fixing things outside the apartment complex I live at. These two missionaries happen to come by and strike up a conversation. Near the end of which they offer to help. I got them to do about half my work for the day.

However, I also agreed to let them come over to my place Friday in the evening to talk to me about their religion.
I have decided why not have some fun with this, Those more knowledgeable about the church of latter day saints, please provide me information to make the conversation amusing.

For other posters, is it only a small percentage of Mormons that believe in odd things such as the Promised Land being in Arizona, among other small oddities?

at worst 2 hours of boring conversation was worth getting 4 hours of work out of them.
At best I make them have a crisis of faith.

You need to tell me, really, need to tell me how that one goes. Please.

I am thinking of recording it and hosting it on youtube.

Oh yes. We'll keep this thread alive for you so you can post the results!

I can just see it. I do! And it makes me laugh so hard.

Don't rag 'em too hard, they are harmless enough and just trying to do what they think is right. I simply explain my position to them politely and/or tell them I haven't got the time and they leave me alone. I live in BFE and I get Mormons and other missionaries around about once a month.

[Dakini]

Man, what's with this helpful mormon thing that I never get?

I was walking down the street carrying a large bag of kitty litter and a Mormon missionary walks up to me, comments that it looks heavy and then proceeds to try and convert me while I walked with the bag without offering to carry it for me or anything. Then he puts a pamphlet in my bag (I bought cat food at the same time, it was in the bag while my arms were full of litter) and walks off when I get to my building.

[Buffett and Colbert]

If it goes anything like the three encounters I've had with people like these, it should be interesting.

They are everywhere here, and its highly annoying.

[Fassitude]

You can point out to them that DNA analysis has proved their claims that Native Americans are actually from Israel wrong, and thus their entire "religion" is false (like all, but it's rare that one can be so easily falsified).

The trick is to ask them.

Is it? I've heard people talk about how Mormons just offered to help.

You'd be surprised at what people will do if asked, you'd also be surprised at what people won't do it not asked.

I wish I could be bothered to spend the effort to search the old Jolt forums for my posts on Mormons and archaeology.

But for your immediate purposes, the following will do:

"But this is incredible! An entire white civilisation in Pre-Columbian North America. There must be loads of archaeological evidence for that, right?"

If they try and claim Central American pre-Columbian cities as their great lost civilisation, you shouldn't find it too hard to come up with something along the lines of "But what about the Aztecs?" or "but that's not who the archaeologists I know say built Tenochtitlan."

If they try and claim the mound cities of the American Midwest, instead try "But I thought all of the stone tools found there show they were built by neolithic Native Americans."

Hours of fun can be had.

[Grays Harbor]

didn't the mormons begin as a "doomsday cult" back in the 1840's, predicting that was when the world would end? not that up on mormon history, but i thought i had heard that at one time.

Perhaps. I don't tend to ask people to do something for me when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself though. I do think that if he was going to try to convert me to his religion, the least he could have done is offered to help. Then I might have been willing to stop and chat instead of continuing to walk at my normal pace because I didn't want to carry the kitty litter longer than necessary. It would have been in his interest to do so (especially since, if he wanted, he could have walked slower than I would have and this would have prolonged the conversation).
