That would be cool if they worked they "Live Look-in" into General Conference.

They could do it in my living room, where I'd be fast asleep on the couch with MJ furiously taking notes and my kids running around screaming at each other. I'm pretty sure we are representative of the majority of Mormon households.

This may just be the blow that causes Facebook to go the way of MySpace.

Can you imagine, "You have been called to serve in the 4chan/Reddit mission. It expected that you will serve......"?

I'd guess the field is white and ready to harvest in the bignbusty.com south mission.

In the MTC I had a teacher tell me he could totally hear/feel the spirit in my voice. Will the same be said about the way some missionaries type.

At any time after that did you contract bronchitis or laryngitis? That would explain your apostasy.

Actually I did contract a severe case of bronchitis/laryngitis shortly thereafter once I arrived in Africa... Hmmm.

Mormon church to end door-to-door missionary practice

When The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints fully implements its new online missionary program, it will - if nothing else - at least minimize the occasions in which a firearm is brandished to ward off a pair of Mormons.


Elder Joshua Limb and Elder Beaver Ho Ching have some experience with that.


Both missionaries, who have served Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana for the past two years, have looked down the barrel of a shotgun while out spreading the word about the Mormon church. But those days may soon be over.


Officials with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints announced late last month that the practice of sending its young missionaries door-to-door should come to an end.


Missionaries have started incorporating the use of social media and the website Mormon.org to communicate with people who are interested in learning more about Mormonism. One mission in Houston, a test group, stopped going door-to-door last year, said Don Davis, a leader in a Beaumont Mormon church.


The move effectively ends the era of sending young men and women into neighborhoods where they might meet some unsavory characters.


"Believe it or not, we don't meet the nicest people," Ho Ching, 21, said.


Ho Ching and Limb encountered a shotgun-wielding man who demanded they leave his property when they visited the house of a church member who had not attended service in a while. No shots were fired that time.


Limb, 20, was not as lucky before he came to Beaumont. In Cleveland[Texas], he stumbled across a man who fired an AK-47 assault rifle to scare him off. He was not harmed.

And for good reason.

The local missionaries told me they are already not going door-to-door.
