  Missionary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A missionary is a propagator of religion, often an evangelist or other representative of a religious community who works among those outside of that community.
The English word "missionary" is derived from Latin, the equivalent of the Greek-derived word, "apostle".
Although missionaries can be sent by any religion, the word is most often used to refer to Christian missionaries.

 LDS Missionary and Missionaries
The LDS missionary has existed from the time of Joseph Smith, who started the LDS Missionary in 1830, to the present time.
LDS Missionary conspiracies are written about in the scholarly book The Mormon Conspiracy.
Joseph Smith was well aware of the value of the missionary in the expansion of membership rolls and sent Brigham Young to England in the late 1830’s and early 1840’s to recruit new missionaries, for it was well known that this was fertile ground for new members.

Compared to native missionaries, foreign missionaries are always the last to enter and the first to leave in areas of political unrest or restricted religious freedom.
Missionaries have nothing to fear and a great deal to gain by being fully frank with potential converts about expectations and challenges and insisting that fundamental gospel habits, including daily reading in the Book of Mormon, weekly church attendance, and Sabbath Day observance, be firmly established well prior to baptism.

 Independent Lens . GET THE FIRE! . Talkback | PBS
While the LDS faith certainly has a wonderful message for the "weak and the vulnerable," the majority of the members and return missionaries are not naïve simpletons who are somehow brainwashed by a cultish corporation.
In this case, many members of the LDS church need to admit to the arrogance of their faith and actions, and many of the critics of the LDS church (or of any faith, for that matter) need to respect—not just tolerate—people who find meaning in the tenets of religion.
One of the missionaries appeared to be doubting his faith even before the two years in Germany were up (the one with the evil facial hair in the post interview).

 What LDS Missionaries Won't Tell You At The Door
What you'll never hear from your missionary friends is that this new gospel teaches that one's ultimate salvation centers around actually becoming a god ruling over an inhabited planet like Earth, something achievable only by faithful adherence to LDS "temple ordinances" actually drawn from the initiations of Freemasonry.
Missionaries for the Church won't tell you that good Mormon men are called upon to be "priesthood men," actively involved in a literal priesthood capacity within the Church and are granted a patriarchal lordship of absolute authority over their families.
The busy social life of your local LDS Church won't easily reveal that ideal Mormon women are destined to be little more than subservient homemakers and mothers, striving to provide perfect examples of domestic life as a faithful "helpmeet" to her husband.

Although the missionaries appear to exhibit a sense of toughness on the outside, it is apparent that many of these missionaries too closely resemble the proverbial deer in the headlights.
By the end, we are able to see how the missionary experience could be "faith promoting" and help a person become more steadfast in his or her faith.

In some South American countries, the missionaries who deliver the tapes are able to teach nearly three out of four times.
In addition to people being exposed to a very subtle form of Mormonism, for their true doctrines are never discussed in the advertisements, these ads also open doors that are otherwise closed to the LDS missionaries.
Interestingly, while the LDS Church revels in its own media produced attention, they cry foul when the media casts them in a bad light.

 A Letter To LDS Missionaries
I will have to assume this is so because of the lack of non-contradictory answers, the forbidden communication between LDS Missionaries like you with myself, and the volumes of contradictory scripture in the Book of Mormon, D&C and Pearl of Great Price with the Bible and each other (this was also on my chart).
In error enough that one who believes in them for their salvation will actually not have it, because they are in error in the one crucial point which determines one's salvation: the nature of God which is describes who God is and what is He like.
The LDS Church believes that there are countless gods and goddesses, that the God-head is three gods unified in purpose and that certain Mormons can eventually become gods themselves (I have many LDS sources to back up this statement).

All these assets and more make the LDS church very attractive to the people of this generation who tend to be less concerned whether a religion is true and more concerned with whether it is good.
Since LDS people are taught that Bible-based Christians have some of the truth but not all of it, it is easy to see why rebuke and/or debate responses just don’t work very well.
They must realize that many of the core LDS teachings are not shared with members until after they have been baptized and participate in sacred rites in the LDS Temple.
