Good evening, Joseph. My name is Debby spelled with a y. I live in eastern Washington with my husband, my current Seeing Eye dog, my retired Seeing Eye dog, and a cat we rescued. My husband and I are Catholics, and love the Lord very much. Welcome to the list. Sorry things get a little heated sometimes. We try not to have that happen, but unfortunately sometimes it does. Take care, God bless and have a wonderful Fourth!

Although I will say, I have nothing against any religion whatsoever. I do believe in faith that is why I joined. And I hear that there has been seven interesting discussions going on over here. From the below resource. As you will see below. And secondly, Jenny I do agree I think the recording would be the best thing that you could use to make those Mormons go away. Maybe the next hundred we talk we can come over some other things that that recording to say.

Though I don't agree with some of the things that has been or even will be said by anyone on anything, it doesn't mean that what I have told you David, or anyone else, is it in wasn't true. It's just the way that I am feeling at this point. And I don't want any rips or anything between anybody on this list.

Regardless, it does take a village but not just to raise A Christian community. Whether that be one's own church. Or, any other type of faith-based community. Even ones that some of us agree with, some of us don't, or sort of us are sort of in the middle. And that's OK either one.

I take bits and pieces from everybody that I talk to you, whether it be Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian, nondenominational, church of Christ, etc., and, try to put them in one believes of mine. By using faith, and trust in God. And of course, if nothing else, and most important. Prayer. As we all know, prayer is a huge part of life. No matter what faith we are.

Sometimes, we especially those who are dealing with serious faith based issues, and have just started to get their feet back on some solid ground, it makes it difficult for us to feel like we are being not necessarily attacked, because not at all do I feel that way, but, being from that situation of coming out of scary Mormon Ville, which a lot of us have been. It's kind of scary to come out from that at all. Period

You inject yourself, you do everything possible to run, hi, do whatever it takes for them to make the conclusion that you want nothing more to do with them. However, they keep coming.

I did a couple of days ago and try to figure out exactly how to handle it, and of course, asking the group, how they would deal with it. The only thing that happened, which of course, I expected but didn't, was new missionaries came into the district, and, I didn't know if they knew they shouldn't contact me, if I was not on some list, if I was on some list, if they figured that they had a different phone number so I would answer though I made it clear that I wanted no more to do with them especially with the last missionaries. But, apparently, they have tried to pull off yet another way to get to me. Thank God, I didn't recognize the area code, so I most definitely did not answer the phone
