Manners for Missionaries 1: "Building Credibility" (1994)

This video is aimed at teaching etiquette to everyone but is aimed primarily at full-time LDS missionaries. While not an official production of either Brigham Young University or the LDS Church, the creators were faculty and instructors for both BYU and the Provo MTC, and the film has been shown at many missions through the world over the past two decades.
This segment covers techniques such as handshakes, posture, and sitting.

My step-mom calls the Elder Missionaries: "The Men in Black". Sometimes they ride their bikes around my Dad's neighborhood.

this had some really golden moments! :-)

[@ldreese33]

I see the missionaries riding bikes on the sidewalks all the time

[@MelissaServicePack7Lucky7]

So let me get this straight, missionaries are not supposed to offend or belittle someone else? That's funny cuz I had a couple missionaries offend me, while talking to me on the street and referring to my church as "The catholic abomination". They actually said that they had seen me around town and saw me coming out of there before.

[@ldreese33]

They think the are the only true church. You cannot blame them for the way they were raised.

[@michellesunshinestar]

@@ldreese33 They hate Catholics.

The Catholics render worship and reverence to another Saints instead of solely worship God. Catholic Parishes and Cathedrals are named after Saint Paul, Pattrick, Mary, Michael the Archangel. While we should respect and learn the good lessons from these faithful men and women, we should never share our devotion that is rightfully belongs to our Creator to another Saints or angels. The only true, holy, and apostolic Church should be built and dedicated in the name of Jesus Christ.

Oh no, that was not respectful towards you and your religion. As a member of the church who has been a missionary, I apologize that that happened to you. They were wrong to say that, and you have a beautiful religion.

Did anyone else catch that horribly sexist quote? "If I could teach women to use their thoughts as well as their powder puffs, I could truly make them beautiful."

[@jbythebay1543]

Right? So judgmental and uncalled for! Talk about offending and belittling!

[@jdm-uk-yank]

I literally just ran out of the room to quote it to my daughter's.

[@naomi5418]

Totally that caught me off 😮

Says the guy with the cringey all seeing eye as his dp and with a username like that 💩 🥴

[@sarahpeterson8972]

I swear this isn’t r@cist there’s actually a black person in the church? Doesn’t he know it was literally illegal for him to be a part of it until 1978?????

[@ViaticalTree]

False

[@nadanalia3000]

False info. Black members always existed, however black men couldn’t receive the priesthood until later. At the end of the day, it’s the Holy Ghost that testifies of the truthfulness of Christ’s restored gospel to black members of this Church.
