How to stop mormons from stalking me.?

Question

My husband and I have been married for 10 years. When he was a chid he went to the mormon church. He stopped at the age of 13. In ten years we have never been left alone by them. They are at our house 3-4 times a week, thats just the missionaries. We also get assigned teacher families and get phone calls. I've been nice and I've been mean. We have called people, to try to get off of whatever list we are on. We have written letters and posted signs on our door and fence. It may seem like I'm being anal, but It's a serious annoyance. We moved to the country to get away, and yet I see mormons more than my own family, we have movedfour times while we have been married and they find us every time. Has anyone gotten rid of these people before, or will they intrude in my life forever?

Answer 1

I know what you mean. I quit the church in 1979 and they tracked me down 16 years later asking for me by my maiden name after I had been married for 10 years and had moved 7 times. After that I realized it was necessary to formally have my name removed from the Mormon records.

I found the local bishop of the ward I would have been assigned to in my neighborhood, and we had a little talk. I told him on the phone that I wanted my name removed and I got interrogated for my beliefs and questioned about my faith or lack of it in Mormonism, it was ridiculous. He tried, but he didn't scare me. Then he told me I could always come back. I sent him a certified letter getting a signed receipt that he recevied it. I haven't followed up to make sure they removed my name.

I did have a set of missionaries at my door after that. I told them I was the wrong person to talk to, but they kept pushing for more information to see what I knew. At one point the leader one of them freaked out saying "I don't think for myself" at the same time I was telling him "you don't think for yourself", and then they both left in a hurry. And missionaries came to my door at my current house but I said no and shut the door as they tried to push their way in. I haven't seen the ones who would be assigned to get me in 11 years.

Answer 2

TELL THEM THE TRUTH OF GOD, ABOUT SATURDAY BEING THE ONLY ONE TRUE SABBATH AND THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE FOREVER.
Those who reject the Sabbath would do well to carefully consider the following summary of scriptural facts:
1. The Sabbath was made at Creation; it was made for man.
2. The continuing cycle of Sabbaths, occurring every seventh day, was never lost. It was carefully preserved by both Jews and Christians.
3. The Sabbath was to be a sign between God and His true people.
4. The Sabbath was to be a perpetual covenant.
5. The command to keep holy the seventh day is found in the Decalogue, alongside commandments against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, and so on.
6. The importance of keeping the Sabbath (from God’s perspective) is seen in the punishment Sabbath-breaking brought upon Israel.
7. The prophets tell us that both Israelites and Gentiles will keep God’s weekly and annual Sabbaths during the Millennium.
When we add to the above the fact that Jesus Christ kept the Sabbath, the fact that the apostles and early New Testament church kept the Sabbath, and the fact that both Christ and the apostles upheld the so-called “Old Testament law,” the only conclusion we can come to is that we should be keeping the Sabbath!
Contrary to what you may have been told, the Sabbath day is not a burden; it is not a “yoke of bondage”; it is not an outdated “Mosaic” commandment that does not apply today.
The Sabbath was made for mankind—all mankind.
It was made for you.

Besides just writing a letter to the local bishop or stake president, ask to meet with them to talk about it. They will take you more seriously. Talking to them about it, in a dignified manner, is the best way to truly get your records removed from the church. Sure, it may take about 30-60 minutes to do, but you won't have to worry about it ever again. Mormons consider it a very serious thing to have your records removed from the church, and someone needs to show they're serious about it (more than a phone call or writing a letter) to have it done.

By the way, in the Mormon (LDS) church we also have excommunication, but that requires that a very serious sin be committed, that a disciplinary council (trial) be held, and then a punishment be decided, with excommunication being one of the possibilities. Excommunication does not result in your records being removed from the church.

Answer 4

Have you tried just letting them know they are a nusiance straight out? If that has not work, try it again. And if they come back just don't answer the door. Let them see you inside but carry on with your usual routine as if they are not there. Sooner or later they will get the point. If not the police is always an eye opener if you want to be rid of them real bad. May God Bless

Answer 5

I am a Jehovah's Witness and I know we don't annoy people like that at all. similarly, mormons don't mess with us at all either. if you want to tell a small lie, tell them you are a Jehovah's Witness now and they'll leave you alone. or if you don't want to lie, maybe you should give this religion a chance. give anyone a call at the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. I promise they won't harass you.

Answer 6

I've heard that there's a word....it means excommunicated to the mormons. If you tell them you used to be a mormon, but you've been (excommunicated, but you have to use their word for it), they will leave you alone, cause they're not supposed to be talking to you. Don't know how true this is, but hey, worth a try. Wish I could tell ya what the word was =( sorry!

Answer 7

Does he have some piece of property they want back?

Don't laugh, but the only way I have found to get rid of Mormons is to start asking them how they reconcile specific differences in their religion to specific passages in the Bible. They high-tail it pretty darn quick when I do that.

Answer 8

To get rid of them, my buddy and I once stripped down to our underwear and answered the door with our arms around each other's waists......you should have seen the look on their faces! And then, we exclaimed "Oh Goody! People have come to bring us Jesus!" They said that they must be at the wrong house and walked away, and we begged them to come back and teach us about the Lord. I never saw them again.

True story.

Answer 9

To really do it you have to get your records removed from the church. And to do that have to do it when you write them a letter and sign it to the local ward attn the bishop. and poof they will disappear except for the occasion tracker.

Answer 10

My former husband was constantly bothered by them. So he finally started coming to the door naked when he knew it was them. Pretty soon...guess what...no Mormons!
