New Toy: Mormon.org
It's been blogged about a few times, but it can't be mentioned enough: you can, right now, go and chat with a live mormon missionary. Go have an otherwise normal conversation, except do it IN ALL CAPS. Go raise some questions with the dude on the other side that might make them think. Ask them about the discrepencies between what God allegedly wrote down and what we know.
Go have fun, in otherwords. With any luck theyll have such a poor conversion run from this new innovation that it'll be shut down and never even thought of again in just a few months.
"Natasha has just come up to the window from the courtyard and opened it wider so that the air may enter more freely into my room. I can see the bright green strip of grass beneath the wall, and the clear blue sky above the wall, and sunlight everywhere. Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

If you truly want to have fun with missionaries then you should invite them to your home for dinner. There's a rule that Mormon missionaries MUST eat whatever they are served when eating at a persons home. Get creative and see what kind of disgusting dishes you can come up with and then let the fun begin as you watch them force swallow it down.
Free your mind.
They must be getting a fair bit of response to it. I waited some 5 mins to be connected with a missionary before giving up. It's just as well, I'm not sure what I would have started with.

OK, I need confirmation on this one. If it is true, I can arrange for them to attend a formal Klingon dinner.

I don't think the low sucess rate matters. If they get just one convert in a 1000, that person must give 10% to the church(otherwise the bishop busts your balls). Plus the missionaries on the other end are doing it for free.
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
