Fun watching biking Mormons

Quoted message said:

Since 99 I've noticed Mormon biking it around this small
city of New London CT. Chain- ing their mountain bikes to the
nearest pole and go- ing door to door pasting their word. I've seen
them all year round. I even know where they get their Raleigh M 80 and
Kona Delux serviced. I seen them out my window,how can you miss two men
in their Sunday best white shirt black pants and tie can't forget the
backpack. Well I looked up and down the street for the pole supporting
their bikes. When the wife yells out what are you laughing at. I reply
they got into a car. It has been hot here 90s with between 80 and 90%
humidity. It has cooled off some 68 right now with 92 % humidity but its
only 10 am. Whats the funniest they have never knock at my door. Maybe
they should I could give them some gas cash for the 3rd person the
driver.

I have nothing against Mormons in particular, but man it annoys me to no
end when people knock on my door to sell me something. Whether it's
their religion or Amway, if I wanted to hear about it I'd seek out the
information myself. It's a sure way to get me to reject whatever they
are selling. I guess it's the earliest form of spam.
We get Mormons, Baptists, and Jahova's Witnesses on a semi-regular basis
and there seems to be no "opt out" option. I must look like I need
saving or something.

I've often considered putting a "No Soliciting" sign on my door, but it's
just so..."apartment"-ish. So I usually just don't answer. (Kinda funny
when they can hear the TV or stereo playing. :-D )

I usually just try to get a "No thanks!" out before they can get too far
into their pitch.

I like waiting for them to get a 100 yards from the house, load the kids
in the car, and take off as they walk up the driveway.

They can be fun. The ones promoting Christianity give me odd looks when I
ask them if they agree their daughters are worth only half the amount of
their sons when sold into slavery, or that the earth is square.

Back around 2001 one of them had his frame thats the
whole frame covered with black vinyl tape. When they do see go by them
on my 3 speed they address me as Sir. They do know who their master is.

They're likely to ignore it anyway, and then argue with you about
wether or not they're actually soliciting. Least, that's what they do
with me. :P

You have to have fun with them. Once a jesus freak presumed to try to
convert me while I was walking down the street. I looked her up and down, a
young thing, late teens, early 20's and oh so earnest.

I told her I was wondering about having JAY-sus save me but like having
sex.

Godgirl: Oh, but Christians are allowed to have sex!

Me: I'm not talking about, within the marital bed, once-a-month, spousal
duty sex.I'm talking about hot, dirty, sweaty, on all fours.....

I continued on for some time explaining what I meant by sex without
actually using any profanities but being otherwise explicit and graphic.

I must say I think I shook her faith in Jay-sus just a little bit.

What can I say, the devil made me do it.

With mormons it can get even stickier ...

Try this one ... Do they really believe:

"And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore
cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their
hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore,
as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they
might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of
blackness to come upon them."
2 Nephi 5:21

That'r right .... the lamanites (Native Americans) have dark skin
because they were touched by sin (cursed for rebellion).

Y'all oughta google 'We are the other people no original sin' in respect to
this - should turn up a rather fun and interesting story. Someone on one of
the groups passed it on some time ago, maybe it was even here...

Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality, who dispenses advice to people who
call in to her radio show.

On her radio show recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew,
homosexuality is an abomination, according to Leviticus18:22, and cannot be
condoned under any circumstance.

The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident,
was posted on the Internet.
******************************************

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have
learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as
many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for
example, I simply remind them that Leviticus18:22 clearly states it to be an
abomination... End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's
Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female,
provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims
that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I
own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.
In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period
of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have
tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing
odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor
is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly
states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or
should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination -
Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can
you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect
in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to
be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around
their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should
they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me
unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops
in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different
kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a
lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole
town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death
at a private
family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable
expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for
reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
