Sharing salvation is against the AUP and grounds for termination.

Speaking of that, what does federal code say about sharing salvation?
I bet somewhere there's a politician trying to calculate a tax on it.

I still remember living in Buenos Aires for 2 years as a kid, and
2 young Mormons knocked on our door. Turns out they didn’t know
how to give their speech in English, only Spanish, but they stayed
for dinner.

Well, they have more Internet than they can use (how much
Internet can you use if you don’t watch porn?) So why waste
the excess Internet when others are in need? Does McDonalds

your uneaten fries to the homeless?

If you run a coax to the neighbors to use DirecTV or Comcast,
they will call it “theft of service”. Criminal theft of
service. Federal code specifically speaks to this. Just
piggybacking on the same idea with the verbiage.
TWC says:
It is illegal not only to steal cable services but also to
assist others to steal cable services. In fact, federal law
provides for criminal penalties and civil remedies against
people who willfully assist others to steal cable services.
Such assistance can take the form of distributing "pirate"
cable television descrambling equipment, assisting others to
make unauthorized connections to cable systems, promoting the
free use of one's wireless broadband network, or assisting
others to hack into their modems and uncap them. Federal
statutes prohibit the assistance of theft of services offered
over a cable system.
And it appears to be called “theft of service” if it is unwanted:

As far as the LDS folks go, it is not intended to scare them,
it is intended to trigger a guilty conscience. They vow to be
honest. This is intended to remind themthat this is not an
honest behavior.

Not for me. I would avoid the whole theft of service
approach. I think you are on shaky legal ground, plus it
sounds lame unless LDS folks really are easily scared.
Say it is against the Terms of Service they agreed to, and
will result in disconnection of service. That doesn’t mean it
is a crime.
The better approach is probably that unsecured WiFi lets
anyone within range capture everything you transmit without
encryption, allows them access to your network and router on
the trusted side of your firewall making it much easier for
hackers, and as you mentioned could cause law enforcement to
blame you for bad things someone else did on the Internet via
your IP address.

Brett, Ken does this wording work better?
5) Allowing a neighbor to use your WiFi connection instead
of purchasing service for their own house is a crime called
“Theft of Service”. You are collaborating in this theft and
jeopardizing your own service as well.
