Now I live in a less poor area (again, just a few blocks away) and not a knock. And yeah, their "literature" is full of, "tired of your life sucking?" Gee, exploiting my fears and insecurities? You guys must have marketing degrees. EDIT: and does anyone else love their depictions of heaven? My last pamphlet had a bunch of white people, flowers, a log cabin, a mountain view, trees, a valley, and a fucking tiger all in the same scene! JW's don't believe in ascension to heaven after death, rather what you were seeing was the Earth restored to paradise after armageddon. As far as them preaching more in poor areas, that is probably true. Generally, higher income communities (at least where I live) are generally heavily Catholic or are highly educated/atheist, neither of which leads to much desire for spiritually themed information. | ||

Haha, fair enough, though my words are only semi hollow because this would not be the first time my vehement anti Mormonism got me into trouble. | ||

Someone knocked at my apartment door, and me being dumb enough to not look outside through the peephole first, I opened the door and got a long two or three minute lecture from some religious guy. He was trying to get me to lobby for him some kind of political agenda with some politician that they hate in the capital of my state. Instead of being direct and telling me just what political motives he had for me to lobby for, he went on a two or three minute ramble about trying to get me, an agnostic, to empathize with his belief system. But I had to interrupt... "What Church are you with?" "Ah, we're Jehovah's Witnesses." "I see." [Door slam, door lock.] | ||

/sarcasm. Honestly though, Mormons are some of the most moral and decent people I've ever met. I never understood why such people receive so much hate, apart from the gay marriage excuse. | ||
