Im still waiting for ISTKH to answer mine...
I had a chance to witness (no pun intended) first hand this past sunday the other work that LDS missionaries do. Even though the purpose is to impress with the hope that the person they are helping will convert, they do a lot of charity work. The two missionaries that visit out neighbor regularly clean, fix supper, go to the store to buy groceries, walk the dogs and like I mentioned they offered to help me paint my house, even after I said I was a staunch atheist and said I wasnt really interested. Could you imagine a JW offering to help me?
They do this all over the world. JWs....not so much.
But we are not talking about this. Helping others is not a waste of time, preaching is. So, at least half of what the mormons do is productive.
