I have witnessed Mormons doing it in the following contexts: Getting someone to sell daffodils for the Cancer Society as an extra person, when the extra services were obviously not necessary; showing up with an innocent person as part of a volunteer troupe, doing odd jobs, when their services had not been requested; campaigning door to door with the Heart & Stroke Foundation in a GROUP with a person naïve about volunteer work; presiding at a children's festival as a volunteer co-ordinator and getting naïve volunteers to paint children's faces.
Believe it, there is more to face painting than may appear on the surface. Too often it is used as more than innocent entertainment and/or diversion for children. As for the odd jobs and extra help offered at the gym, the Mormons were sent home, and the person apparently in charge looked very annoyed that they had even shown up unsolicited.
At the same time Mormons ostentatiously display their "good works", humbling others in the act.

Is this really the biggest issue that you have? Mormons and their community service? What a truly pathetic existence you have.
What, please tell me, what is wrong with face painting? And getting someone out into the community to paint faces? Or sell daffodils? Or canvas for heart and stroke? And if we are not needed, we will leave and move on to something else.
Mormons like to do community service because it helps people and makes us feel happy. Have you EVER done community service, even as the extra person? If our "good works" are so deplorable, next time there is a hurricane in Louisiana, don't come begging to us for food!

Peace be with you.
Have you not read the words of Jesus?
Ye are the light of the world, A city set on a hill can not be hid, nigher do men light candles and out them under a bushel, but on a candlestick that it may giveth light to all that are in the house, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Are you saying helping and volunteering is bad. It is better to have innocent people doing volunteer work than to have guilty people doing volunteer work.

What are you talking about? You are ridiculous. Anyone who volunteers their time to help other's is doing a good thing.

Seems they take proselytizing to a new art form. They are very adept at showing their rightous disdain for others that do not hold the same religous point of view.
