Why do I have to look at these stupid ads that promote Mormonism?

I think it is kind of creepy the way they keep pushing their "religion" on people. Do other "religions" do this too?

Like do Buddhist have ads telling others how wonderful their lives would be if all converted to Buddhism.

    It is creepy to share something with people you care about that has brought tremendous happiness, joy and peace in your life? How dare they!

    I feel sorry for you. If you get this angry and irritated so easily then it seems you don't have much happiness, joy and peace in your life. Perhaps you should pay more attention to the ads.

    Christians do that all the time, and yes there is one organization calling itself Buddhist, named Soka Gakkai is a fake Buddhist org. I know that originally it was using the temple of a Buddhist sect through a business agreement, but they discontinued the agreement. The Soka Gakkai if the second largest political party in Japan although using a different name.

    The nature of advertising is that if you don't like it you can usually switch off the devise it being transmitted on.

    I'm one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES and we use various advertising techniques to advertise the kingdom of God. People are free to listen or not, but preaching and teaching about God is a Christian commission.

    I haven't seen the Mormon adverts, but I personally feel that if you don't speak about your religion, you obviously don't feel it has anything of exceptional value, so I wouldn't bother looking into it anyway. If something will help people you tell them. If something will save their lives your silence is criminal. As one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES I have a life saving message and I'm obliged to share!

    I loved the advertisements with people doing everyday things with the line “and they are Mormon”? Seems the Mormon hierarchy recognize that they are seen not just as an extremist cult but also different to other people!

    Stop going to Mormon websites. Your computer has become a target for Mormon advertisement. Common sense if you think about it. Just clear your computer's cookies and you'll be fine.
