I have heard that both from door slammers and those who have gotten doors slammed in their faces. I was just trying to offer a better way to handle it without being rude. The last group of missionaries that came to my door actually shared some fo their sucesses with me.jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292798635325297155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686007827965025360.post-4070873669472724682009-09-27T21:36:16.820-07:002009-09-27T21:36:16.820-07:00you implied we have no success by saying, they wen...you implied we have no success by saying, they went on to getting more doors slammed in their faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686007827965025360.post-79103306681623078982009-09-26T09:52:58.737-07:002009-09-26T09:52:58.737-07:00I never even mentioned their success or lack there...I never even mentioned their success or lack thereof.

Missionaries get many baptisms over their 2 years, some even get hundreds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686007827965025360.post-23781552037878787952009-08-16T16:02:51.804-07:002009-08-16T16:02:51.804-07:00Thanks for your comment Cameron.

I don't agree with proseltyzing, but that is why I don't do it. Luckily, this is America and we have religious freedom, so you get to make your own choices! Our family has always loved you and accepted you for who you are. We are proud of you and your upcoming mission. I just want you to have the same respect for us as we have always given to you!jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292798635325297155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686007827965025360.post-27803573526242128432009-08-16T15:47:36.495-07:002009-08-16T15:47:36.495-07:00I've been "conditioned" to go on a m...I've been "conditioned" to go on a mission? I havent once been told "you're going on a mission" its a personal choice and my parents arent the reason behind it. whoever left that comment makes it sound like i've been brainwashed into going on a mission. thats not the case at all. I live a happy life being a member of the church or jesus christ of latter day saints and I want to share my love of the gospel with others. is there something that wrong with spending two years of my life helping other people?Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100744960368017852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3686007827965025360.post-48088918875643669802009-05-29T14:49:37.136-07:002009-05-29T14:49:37.136-07:00Good for you, Jill, for being so nice!

It is so annoying!!! but these young, squeaky clean boys are just doing what they have been conditioned from a very young age to do! They have been told they would go on missions from the time they were tiny. You can't blame them any more than you can blame a young kid who grows up in China for speaking Chinease. You can only hope they will listen to the other side of the story you are telling them, and hope when they are a little more mature they will think for themselves!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
