Cool story time. I lived literally a block from that Scientology building on Tottenham Court Road for two months and quickly started not making eye contact and giving them an "all stocked up on crazy" stock response as I brushed past the people handing out pamphlets. Literally the only time they didn't even try to hand me something was the one time I walked past holding hands with my girlfriend. The guy took a half step forward, opened his mouth to speak, hesitated, and gave up without saying anything. So I guess gay is the antidote to Scientology. The more you know~

I lived across a Scientology building when I lived in Louisville. Those bitches were so crazy, I much prefer hot Mormon ass bugging me than those dead eye'd Scientologist.

At least usually with the Mormons if you ask them to go away they do. Scientologists are so much harder to get rid of.

And significantly less attractive, yes.

Mormons always seem to be strangely hot. And compared to Scilons, the risk of them dumping your body in a ditch within 24 hours feels pretty small.

Unless they're Glenn Beck.

lol, ew. Fortunately we don't have many of those here. The majority of all mormons you'll come across here are cute, young american guys in suits ;)

They do tend to send cuties out door-to-dooring, yeah. :D

Yep! And there's an extremely obvious "mormon-type" in the Stockholm suburbs, lol. Young, cute, white guys with heavy American accents, flyers and nametags riding bicycles. And they're always surprised when I call them mormons :P

Mormons seem to apparently not like to solicit my black self. It's great. They solicit my former roommate all the time, and even when we walked together, they wouldn't come up to her, even though we were the only people around for several feet.

Black is apparently the antidote to Mormons.

I had heard of them being pretty damn racist, but that really sucks :/

Shit, I'm not complaining. I would probably just take their literature and use it as toilet paper.

Not being recruited into a cult isn't a particularly huge loss, but the sentiment behind it is pretty rage-inducing. And I have a copy of the Book of Mormon! It's quite a... special book. It's written like bad bible fanfiction.

Now I know what to do when they try and sell me a copy of Dianetics. I'm getting bored of them, they never change their approach.

If it's so important that everyone read Dianetics why don't they give copies away for free? Hmmmph.
