“Our church elders want us to create a confrontational situation so we’ll view the outside world as hostile and see the church as the only safe community. Would you like to learn more?”

You know... now that you mention it... This does sound like a tactic of theirs.

pretty sure several exmormons on the internet have either proposed or confirmed that this is something they're going for

Yeah, either the culture and people are really receptive and they convert a lot of new tithe payers, or it’s more heated and confrontational and the missionaries are further entrenched into the church. Source: was Mormon missionary for a year before I almost killed myself because of all that bullshit… so I guess it doesn’t always work out that way. Lol

Shit, this never occurred to me! So I should politely ask them if they'd like to sin instead of telling them to go fuck themselves?
