Re: OMG!!! said by SRFireside:Sounds like you haven't run into any Assembly of God folks in your neck of the woods. My neck of the woods is teaming with them. The worst I can expect from them is they will set up a PA in a little park downtown (always the same two or three women) and torture everyone in the area with the most god-aweful "singing" you've ever heard. Other than that I never had one follow me down the street ignoring my pleas to leave me the #311 alone. 
"Theater"?? Sorry but my personal sphere no matter how small while in public is not yours or anyone else's "theater" to be exploited, regardless of the religion, mission from god or cause involved. If your religion is legit, if it is the real deal then quit talking about it and start living it. People will begin to beat down your door to find out what you've got that they don't have.

I think you misinterpreted 'theater count'. It was meant for the number of people that have joined the congregation. You know... like how movie makers look at how many people bought tickets (theater count) and don't care how they got the viewers to buy the tickets. As in it sounds like the Bishop wants more members and compels the local missionaries to "be earnest (pushy) and bold (rude) in their Godly mission."

People will begin to beat down your door to find out what you've got that they don't have. Not sure if you're talking to me directly or just commenting on pushy evangelical practices in general. The Mormon church is not my religion. It used to be a long time ago. I'm a Christian, but I'm no evangelist. I live my spirituality for myself and my family and prefer not to be in the evangelical sales and marketing game. |
