But then they should label themselves aid workers or relief workers and not missionaries. They may start out serving there fellow man w/ food, shelter, schooling etc... but it's religion (and I think conversion) that drives them. It seems to be a numbers game w/ Mormonism and Catholisism et al. It may be good intentioned but the ultimate goal is numbers, $$ and people.... Jehovas Witness used to visit my grandparents years ago. They would sit and talk to them for hours (my G'parents were lonely. After about a year or so and many turn downs to join their faith they abruptly stopped showing up. They weren't a friend. They realized it was a waste of time trying to recruit and bailed..People in need be it food, schooling or just conversation are prey for ANY religios recruitment. And I think it's sad...
