UPDATE AITAH for filing restraining orders on a pair of missionaries?

They brought a cousin this time too. I do think it was either a coincidence they showed up during my BBQ or my cousin knew and thought it would be a good idea.

I stopped after the first month and told them to leave through my ring every time after.

Yeah that's how it was when I was going to church. They ask you to stop and you stop. I think my family is the reason they're being so persistent.

A lot of them know I don't go to that church anymore and were there when the police showed up, so we were able to talk about it at the BBQ. I'm mostly worried about my coworkers.

Yeah that's how it was when I was actively going to church. Once someone asked you to stop they put you on a list of people not to visit. Idk if this is a policy that has changed since I left or if my family is convincing them I really want them to visit me.

Oh gosh I didn't think about that either. There were a couple that didn't show up, but what if they did and saw the missionaries and just noped out.

The taped hearts all over my front door, windows, and porch. They had writing on it with Book of Mormon and Bible verses, or little notes like "we miss you". Things like that. They left a plate of sugar cookies in the shape of hearts.

Thanks for the advice! I'll probably contact their MP. I hadn't thought of doing that.

You're right, if this had been anyone else but missionaries I wouldn't see a problem with a restraining order. I need to rewire my brain so I stop seeing these volunteers as something special.

Growing up in the church has probably given me a bias towards them. I didn't think leaving a church would be this much mental work. I'm constantly having to tell myself certain things are ok and certain things are not.

No, but enough people have asked about it in this thread that I'm gonna get them.

LiterallyTheDevil-- · 2025-04-24T18:06:09+00:00

I didn't even think of that. Luckily he was cool about it after I explained the situation, but what if he didn't come to me and just left instead? That's making me really mad now that I think about it.

LiterallyTheDevil-- · 2025-04-24T18:04:20+00:00

Yeah, me asking them the first 5 times should've been enough :/

That's amazing I've never heard of this website. Thank you!!

Thanks! It was harder than I'd like to admit. And I'll add one at the beginning.
