LDS harassment.

Okay I am at my wits end. I was baptised as a mormon at age 9 or 10 because that is what my mother( the hypocrite) wanted.
I was forced to go to church as a child even though at that age I had no real concept of the religion. As I grew up and got married and discovered what the religion was all about, I decided I did not want to be a mormon. They left me alone and I didn't hear from the church for years.
Now since I have moved to a different state and remarried, they have tracked me down and every week for a year there would be some Lds at my door.
I had a home teacher calling me 3 or 4 times a week. I finally made it more than clear that I wanted no part of the LDS, that I did NOT agree with all of their beliefs and I wanted to be taken off any and all phone, mailing and home visiting lists. I flat out said " I denounce the mormon religion"
All was okay for about 6 months,,,, well they are back.
The come to the house EVERY day looking for me, My kids tell them I am at work and then they call... some how I don't have a clue HOW. they got my cellphone # now they are leaving voice messages. I have blocked the numbers, yet they call from a different number every time..
This is flat out harassment as far as I am concerned,,, what do I have to do to make it stop??

Thanks for all the help everyone. I appreciate it.
I guess that is what I get for getting married to a young Brigham!

magprob agrees: LOL! I lived in Salt Lake City for a short time and I must say, it was very odd to say the least. They did not bother me half as much as you in another state!

Whoever you are married to, just remember that you chose him!

The upside to that is that as a Mormon, he will be GOD of his own planet some day and you are invited to follow him and worship him in all of his glory! You had better get down to the temple and get sealed if you haven't already though!

Ok guys I am morman don't go to church like I should. I am able to do whatever I want. It is not a cult. I have been to alot of diffrent churches.
The morman church is the only one I will go back to. They don't shun me when I do show up once or twice a month. They treat me Like an old friend. They have never tried to force anything on me. It is freedom of choice. When I was growing up It was real hard to follow some of the rules but now that I have been out in the world. I believe there rules are easiest to follow.

Just one the LDS church doesn't practice poligamy anymore.
You are thinking of the FLDS church and RLDS

Comments on this post
Morganite agrees: The RLDS - now called The Commuibnity of Christ and occyupying a MOR Protestant position - has NEVER practiced plural marriage. They blame Brigham Younf for PM not Joseph Smith. They are misguided on some other points of history too.

Even though Joseph Smith introduced it to the church and the Mormon people hang on every word that proceedeth out of brother Joseph's mouth?

Comments on this post
Morganite agrees: Smith did introduce it, bvut SLC Mormons do not practice it or even discuss it now except in an historical context.

The LDS church did away with plural marriage when it was outlawed in the unitied states.

Comments on this post
Morganite agrees: The RLDS never have subscribed to polygamy. They have no temples and blame polygamy on Young denying that Smith had any connection to it. The RLDS is now the Community of Christ, a MOR Protestant church that has severed its ties and denounced its l

Ok, that's what they say and a lot of Mormons do not practice it...a lot more than you might believe do. I live in Southern Idaho and have to go to Salt Lake for supplies for my business. I can take you to places in Salt Lake City, many places, where it is quite obvious what is happening. It happens more than you may know.

The age a girl can marry in Utah is 14. I think it has become more of a pedophile thing than a Holy Matrimony thing.

Magpro, have you checked out the LDS website?

http://www.lds.org/

It clearly states that you will be excommunicated if you practice polygamy. Just because a person practices polygamy and claims to be an LDS member doesn't mean they are. I could claim to be the richest (monetary wise) person in North America and yet, I'm not.

Back to the question: How did they get your cell phone number? Is it possible that someone who knows you gave it to them? I think you should do what Fr. Chuck has said, contact the Ward Mission Leader. They could probably help. Ask the missionaries for the name of the Mission Leader and contact them.

Comments on this post
magprob agrees: But wait a minute, that's not what I said. I said a lot of them still are even though the church has said not to. The pediphile thing under the cloak of religon. See the distinction?
