Manners for Missionaries 3: "Appearance and Social Skills" (1994) 

Though many make fun; I agree that the Lord looketh upon the heart , thank goodness for that. No this video is not about the Lord, this is about dressing appropriately to better reach others about the gospel. This requires wisdom and understanding. Its not about the appearance its about what not to do that may be a distraction from the teaching of Jesus Christ. Its about dressing in a matter that is pleasing to God. Not dressing in a way that cause the mind to wander. Surely there are those who understand this? God bless those who understand.

"Don't wear argyle socks." Uh, doy. Obviously. Literally everyone knows the holy spirit fucking hates argyle socks.

I now know, what my mother means when she says her missionaries, were so well groomed! 😊👍 I'm sure, when my mother was a missionary a video like this, was most helpful. I too, am grateful It's taught me, alot too👍👏

I had a pair of purple argyle socks that I wore on my mission. "If they're good enough for Donny, they're good enough for me." that's what I always said.

Elders you should ask: Is my shirt pressed? (While a woman holds up a pressed shirt...)

Free charm school, watch all of the videos.

Obviously they searched Temples across the width and breadth of Utah for only the hottest Sisters to put in this video.

The need to have a businesslike manner says it all.

Rules about how to approach animals. Man, they have control over everything! Even that dog looked miserable in this video knowing that there was no way out!

Watch out, that mouthwash might contain alcohol!

"Being your best self is the essance of the Gospel." I thought it was looking towards Christ and beliving in him? Guess not - I guess being "white and delightsome" is. "Proper appearance is vital to mission success." My God, this shows the true nature of the cult I was born in. So sad.

I look very sexy when I chew gum, thank you.

Fine twined linen for everybody!

I like my dog more than I like most of my family

Nowadays, I wonder if there are rules to ask people to keep pets in another room, for safety.

Who is supposed to pay for this professional and refined wor wardrobes? (and PS - no thrift shops!)

Too bad they didn't have smart phones. I write people's names that I meet on them in the note app and I write where I know them. Sometimes that helps. Don't make eye contact with dogs that are not on leashes. Now days they have lint rollers (same thing just bigger and more practical)

A business man's haircut??? Wtf

Women can now wear pants on their missions.

"Sisters should wear conservative subdued colours of low intensity, not too bright." she said, wearing a royal blue blazer over a fuchsia blouse 🙄

I worked with a Mormon man that rarely bathed.

It is good to look smart and presentable, I've nothing against that. However all Jesus had was a purple robe and a crown of thorns!

I guess Jesus Christ himself wouldn't pass this cult's "appearance" test?!?!

Jeans and an old shirt, people!

Was the supposed mission president wife truly married to a mission president or is she an actress? What a terrible person to speak about a former miasionary the way she did! And telling people to not go to thrift stores? Missionaries are not paid so they do the best they can. If thrift stores are bad, why does the church run DI?

❤

I just threw up in my mouth!

NO ARGYLE SOX!!!

Something about this video makes me angry. There are way more rules for the sister missionaries than the elders.

"Conservative and confident." Avoid patterns. Cover your knees, but not your ankles. Don't be trendy. Polish your shoes. the look should be business-like, not collegiate. My God, these people are OCD robots! Freaks.

cult

These are so awful LOL

Why is the world so awful?

They're all white.

This a a disgusting video, you mormons should be embarrassed and ashamed....

Ridiculous amounts of control and sexism. Typical for any church, I suppose.
