It's sad this mission president had this reaction. Luckily the area authority seems to have some sense. Anyway, this is where the misguided "anti-Mormon" bs comes from. Missionaries bother people until the people get angry, mission presidents support it, reasoning that only "anti-Mormons" act this way to "humble" invitations from Christ's representatives.
This is where having Shulem as a Facebook friend would be truly invaluable. Sick Shulem on them. I rather think in a very short time no missionaries anywhere would possibly want to friend anyone after Shulem begins posting to them and giving them the "truth."

I just find it funny that walls are immoral Democrats have gates and armed guards patrolling their own property. I might just drive my truck to the border and haul a couple hundred of them northward and dump them off at her place to see just how amenable to sharing she really is.
You have a truck in which you can legally and safely haul a couple hundred people at once? Are you being intentionally facetious, or do you really have no idea how silly this comment made you look?
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

It's pretty cramped quarters in those coyote vans.

Maybe I'll dump a few hundred on your property as well. I'll just need a tow wagon.

You know I don't blame the Latino peasants. I blame the globalist oligarchs who put getting the cheapest labor above the interests of their fellow American citizens. I blame the Democrats who put their socialist agenda and drive to create a permanent underclass of low wage workers ahead of the interests of the middle class American standard of living. Why is it that the American taxpayer is the first one called upon to sacrifice his standard of living rather than the wealthy citizens of Latin America?

That being said, even my own brother shouldn't have the right to overpopulate then take my land and part of my paycheck to pay for it.

If you think the Democrat tax plan is only going to hit those making $400k or more a year, you're in for a rude awakening when this latest payout for this ridiculous shutdown comes due. The theft from and destruction of the middle class native born American citizen standard of living is unacceptable.

Travon could have walked away. But he saw a short fat territorial Latino and knew he could whip him in a fist fight. How bad do you think Travon intended to hurt Zimmerman for following him and asking who he was? He had him down in MMA style ground and pound with Zimmerman screaming for help. For some reason Travon wasn't street smart enough to realize that Zimmerman could have been armed.
Zimmerman could have driven away, or just stayed in his vehicle like law enforcement told him to. But he saw a lanky black kid, and knew he could frighten him with his gun, or whip him in a fist fight. How bad do you think Zimmerman intended to hurt Martin if he didn't capitulate? Martin had Zimmerman momentarily subdued and Martin was screaming for help. For some reason, Zimmerman wasn't street smart enough to realize that Martin might actually defend himself.

Get some boundaries.
I never realized how much Mormonism disregards regular social boundaries until I got married.

I couldn't figure out why my wife was annoyed by Mormons dropping by unannounced and uninvited all of the time. To me, non-family/friends randomly stopping by all of the time was totally normal.

Oh fair point. Zimmerman wasn't blameless. But neither was Travon. Even DocCam understood that Travon was no martyr as the left has made him out to be. And the left wing media bias in that story was so blatant, especially where they edited out Zimmerman being asked the race of the suspected intruder as opposed to Zimmerman volunteering his race.

Now ask yourself, what if Travon were walking around in Jersey Girl's neighborhood? Would other less instrusive LDS missionaries get the benefit of the doubt or would they be judged and profiled based on the actions of previous LDS missionaries? What kinds of discrimination and bigotry are acceptable to the left?
