This is the one instance in which Bun being a butt to everybody is a handy thing for me. Relatedly--the other day these ladies at work changed their drinks at least 3 times each and I was alone and there was an antsy line of solks behind them. One of them said, after I hussled them their drinks they'd decided on at last "can you read this for me please", I said "yeah", they (gloriously) walked away-- I glanced down to see something like "Do you know if you are going to heaven...OR HELL?" UGGGH. If they truly cared for my soul they wouldn't have taken 5 minutes changing their minds on drinks so as to leave me w/a fat line of grouchy, made-to-wait too long customers. And they didn't tip either. Butts butts butts. Molly-- I like how you're kind about the missionaries. :)* That's not common. I know how it is trying to save souls. You *have* to to be a true Christian in some sects. You feel like you are in the trenches running out into warzone rescuing a lost one. I said some obnoxious, horrible stuff trying to save people back in the day. Ugh, shudder. hahaha :D You would. :D And still should. :D I feel like hiding behind a door naked now.

Unless they were gay I think we can safely assume that the people who came to Heather's door were finding it a while lot harder to keep to the no masturbation rules that night, and there would have to be a chance some left the faith over the experience.

I try to be nice to them, because missions are hell (contact with family and friends strictly regulated, people are nasty to them, etc) but like you say, they won't take a hint. So here's my tip: tell them masturbation is a deal-breaker. LDS culture is HUGELY against masturbation (though I'm sure there are plenty of Mormons who are whackin' it and at least a handful who think it's perfectly normal and healthy); there's a common saying in the church that you're better off with a son who's a thief than a masturbator. So just say: "You guys don't allow masturbation, right? Sorry, that's a dealbreaker for me." There won't be follow-up questions. There won't be further entreaties. Most likely. there will be stunned silence during which you can shut the door or walk away. I think it's win/win. Re: Mormons.
