Strict Rules Mormon Missionaries Have to Follow

Hey may I ask how the home or personal life is when you are in a mission (like where do they live or do they still have to go to collage or university??)

sorry for the silly question, but if one needs to go to the bathroom at night, does it mean that they have to wake up their companion?

Damn till 9??? I was wodnering why there were mormons out in the night. Its wierd that theyre in my city, its a small city in the Philippines and like, typically noone wants to be out at night in the Philippines??

If you were attracted to your companion, it would be heaven.

If you were attracted to your companion, it would be heaven.

If you were attracted to your companion, it would be heaven.

As a nevermormon this is enlightning. And horrifying.

Remember a couple youge boys knocking on my door ..i was in bikini and they couldnt stop staring. Guess they thought I was the whore of Babalon.
I feel very sorry for your husband to try to convert swedes. We are so secalary. I would loved to hear his impression on of the northern hedan…❤️

50% of missionaries are coming home???!?!?!?! That was SO TABOO only 10 years ago! I only knew of ONE missionary that went home early over my entire 2 years, except he just got transferred from a foreign mission to a stateside mission--He didn't even go home! Holy moly!!!

Yes, staying out late proselyting is dangerous!! I was a very good rule-follower. We almost went home, but decided to stay outside for 20 more minutes in order to not get home early. I almost got killed in my black suit in the middle of the night by almost getting run over by a car who couldn't see me.

The crazy rules LDS missionaries have to follow, may have been appropriate up to the 1950's , but no longer.

Wow you are so mad lol, imagine being so obsessed with something you hate

Maybe it's because I was obviously gay and engaged to the woman I am living with, but I had the same missionaries meet with me about 4-5x, and they NEVER even brought up baptism or mentioned it as something I should think seriously about. And I was rather engaged with the missionaries, too, and reading and praying with them. Not like I wanted to convert, but I was very interested to learn more, since I'm into religion/mythology studies.
When they left town, the female missionaries that took over messaged me, and maybe they would've been more on top of that baptism stuff, but "the boys" as I called them did not bring it up even as a whisper or subliminal message lol maybe they are taught slightly differently now about pushing baptism so early? Very interesting! Haven't met with any of them since. This was just over the last few months!

Man, I am starting to think that the missionaries that met with me 4-5x were little rebels in their own regard!
I left another comment that said they never even hinted at Baptism in the 4-5 reading and praying meetings we had (I was just interested in learning, not converting, but they did not know that—they did know I didn't believe in Jesus, though). And one of the Elders even wore a bright, colorful tie! It was in a traditional Ghanaian pattern, which are almost always very colorful, because his best friend was seving his mission there and had sent him the tie. Super interesting video!
I hope my boys are doing well and happy at home, they left their mission a couple weeks ago. Nice boys, and I had a great time meeting with them, but they didn't stand a chance converting me lol

Missions are defintly culty. Its like what the moonies do

Being so far from mormon culture that missionary only rings the bell as a sex position ..

That never be alone thing is done in the military as well.

Everything about this makes me sick. I grieve for the people I've known who grew up in the LDS church, and I hope they find peace after all this. This is just insane.

The “never be alone” part and you describing the breaks and relief you felt during small bathroom breaks or waking up late at night reminded me a bit of when my son was young during lockdown and I had to retreat to the bathroom to take a tiny “mom vacation” as we were together 24/7 just the two of us and I worked from home. Luckily, he wasn’t outside the door suspiciously imagining all the “sinning” I might do and he went to his own room at night lol. It’s crazy to think that missionaries have less personal space and breaks than parents of little ones do!

Is Mormonism an MLM

I cannot imagine spending all day bothering strangers.

It must have been so isolating feeling the need to constantly ask people to be baptized and stuff. I can imagine that a lot of people are probably not willing to listen to the "baptism invitation" more than once

the sunk cost buy in for missions is insaneeee

Red shirt passing out was amazing…

😀 your missionaries story is a bit funny to 😂

Do not be alone 😁

So a few years back, I was on Facebook dating and came across a male Mormon missionary (I’m an ex-Mormon but never went on a mission) and out of sheer curiosity, I swiped right to see what would happen and we matched LOL so I messaged him. After I told him he was cute, he immediately told me he was a missionary and asked if me if I knew anything about Jesus Christ. All I could think was, damn, they must be real desperate for members if they’re going on gay Facebook dating LMAO

One of my friends has just left the church (I’ve recommended your channel to her). One of her “side jobs” (she’s a therapist) was to escort kids back home who had breakdowns during their mission. Maybe she would be willing to chat!

Dangerous situations to avoid: IF HOMEOWNER DOES NOT ANSWER THE FRONT DOOR, DO NOT —-REPEAT—-DO NOT GO TO THE BACKYARD AND BE A PEEPING TOM IN THE WINDOW TO SEE IF ANYONE IS AT HOME. YOU WILL GET ARRESTED AND GO TO PRISON… OR IN FLORIDA MUCH WORSE. DO NOT USE YOUR VISITS TO CASE THE PLACE. MOST HAVE CAMERAS AND YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO THE POLICE. MANY BURGLARS FALSELY CLAIM THEY ARE ON A MISSION.

You couldn't pay me to go through all of that let alone expect me to pay for it.

Has any athiest come up with the idea of going on an "Athiest mission"? Going to a majority Mormon suburb and just knocking on all of their doors trying to deconvert them? lol

I have invited the "elders" in for a talk with the rule being I get as much time with them as they get with me. I almost had them both converted to IDON'TKNOWISTS such as myself.... I DON'T KNOW AND THEY DON'T EITHER.

With the world being full of Transgenders now, the table manner tells could go in 2 different ways all at the same seating.

Privacy is one of basic human needs. Depriving this can be very harmful and can have serious psychological consequences. They know it and that's exactly why they use it. No rocket science.

I love your videos, I would've never guessed how intense and individuality ridden these missions were.

How to be a robot

Ho-ly sh**. That sight and sound requirement is an otherworldly amount of control.

So, if you get sick on a mission and you have to visit the doctor or the hospital, are you expected to let your companion join you? I’m not sure I’d be comfortable letting a random person hear all of my private medical information

As someone who grew up in the off shoot temple lot branch of Mormonism I always find the missionary’s interesting. We didn’t have that. And all the little changes between latter day and temple lot

The Mormon rules remind me of Soviet practice. I heard that those few lucky Russians who got to travel to Western countries during the days of the Soviet Union also couldn't be alone; they were apparently constantly watched, especially by their tour guides, to ensure that no one had too much contact with the locals or tried to escape. The point was control, to keep people in the fold.

I had a couple of missionaries come to my door years ago. I find Mormons interesting so I enjoyed our conversation. I was curious about this testimony thing so I asked him to share his. I also mentioned that the term "testimony" comes from Roman times when a man would swear an oath with a hand on his privates (It's my understanding that, that's just a false urban myth). He gave me his testimony which I don't remember. I was sad then because they said they had to leave and I was enjoying our conversation. In hind sight I wish I had suggested he remember the testimony urban myth if he ever heard a testimony about someone overcoming self intimacy. It would have been amusing if he couldn't keep from laughing.

Later I was talking with an ex-mormon friend and she explained that giving one's testimony was the last thing a missionary was supposed to do. That is, if nothing else works, give your testimony.

p.s. After reading some of the comments, perhaps the first thing I might do if missionaries come to my door is ask if they need to use the bathroom.

Joe Smith and Ronnie Hubbard were two peas in a pod.

As someone who was raised within the ("regular") Christian church, Mormon missions sound so disgusting. I already don't 100% agree with Christian missions, but at least those are usually centered around helping a community in a poor country, by building a school or digging a well or constructing bathrooms or whatever, or if they're done more locally they might go help in food banks or soup kitchens or nursing homes or whatever. The reason I don't fully agree with them is that they do often very much try to teach Christianity to the people they're helping, they almost never just selflessly and with no ulterior motives go there just to help people in need. But at least doing something good to help people in need is typically at the center. So comparing that to Mormon missions, with strict schedules and mandatory studying and essentially constant surveillance and the entire purpose really just being getting more people in the church... That doesn't feel very in line with what any denomination of Christianity should be. I also felt very weird about the clip of that girl who put spreading the gospel before personal hygiene, because in my church that would be praised as such dedication to your faith, everyone would say she's right that it's not a fashion show, etc. So when they suddenly flipped it into a bad thing, that was so unexpected to me!

As an introvert, this is a literal description of my worst nightmare.

i feel bad for missionaries!

How do you like shower and stuff???
