What's your idea? 2 guys on bikes with short hair and skinny ties recruiting for LDS, or A Pastor in some kind of jungle or someone that serves in a rescue mission? This should be interesting.

Apparently, cult missionaries outnumber Christian missionaries.

I haven't seen any LDS missionaries for some time, but I see JWs twice every year.

My son apologizes that he's too busy to talk with the JW's but asks them to come back. When he knows nobody will be home. I asked him why? He said he likes to waste their time as much as the like to waste ours. :LOL::ROFL::ROFL:(y)

When I have time, i'll go through Revelation with them, and show them why their beliefs are wrong. I've had two senior members run screaming from the house. I have to admit it was entertaining-though that wasn't my intent. :cool:

I think you all are confusing missionary with an evangelist. An evangelist does the proselyting while a missionary just gives a helping hand up to someone in the name of the Lord. That has always been my take anyway. :cool:

Like so many words and labels used today---
Depends on who you are speaking with as to the definition.

My definition is anyone who presents the Gospel to anyone who does not know the Gospel.
