Two young white guys, college-age-ish, wearing black or dark gray slacks, white shirt and a tie, carrying backpacks and riding bicycles. Not always the same two guys, I’m sure, but there’s always a pair of them around somewhere nearby. I assume they are religious folks of some sort out proselytizing, but for some reason they never come by my house. I’ve even come home from work and seen them down the street, and figured they saw me pull into the driveway and that they’d be at the door at any moment, but it never happens.
So who are these guys? Mormons? Jehovah’s Witness? Something else?
Have they got name tags? Around here, the Mormons have name tags. And the JWs tend to wear their Sunday best, whereas the Mormons have the the white shirt/black tie thing going on.
Well, if they’d come to my door, I’d have more information!
(But then I wouldn’t have needed to start the thread. :D)
OK, so most likely Mormons. The pattern is weird though. Most times when people are canvassing the neighborhood, they go from door to door, up one side of the street and down the other. With these guys it seems almost random. Are they targeting specific houses rather than the usual shotgun approach? Any Mormons out there who have actually done this before that can provide more details?
Not a Mormon myself, but from what I was told once they kind of go where the spirit takes them. They kind of feel led to this house or that, so they don’t go to every house or person. I may be wrong, but that’s what I was told.
And yes, that was probably Mormons that the OP was referencing.
Mormon checking in (as well as, briefly, a missionary). Given the description of the uniform, they definitely sound like Mormon missionaries. As far as going door to door, that is soooo 1980s. Really, today LDS missionaries only go door to door or “tract” as a last, extremely unproductive resort. Most try to spend their time with people specifically referred by other members.
