So, how do y'all respond when people knock on your door promoting their religion or church?
(This should be good... ???)
I finally got pissed off the last time they came to my home they had been coming 2 or 3 days a week and I read them the riot act they put me on the list at their local church of people NOT to contact .All has been quiet since
I got a big dog. Turns out they won't come near your house if a dog barks at the door, lol.
I am very straight forward. I tell them that I am not interested. wish them a good day and close the door.
I can tell you about an 'argument' I had with a former brother-in-law on this subject... He is a redneck Missourian it should be noted, from a tiny town with no stores, and dirt streets. I was of the opinion that there was no polite way to get rid of them. POLITE, being the operative word here. He said sure, it's easy. He just tells them he is a different religion. I said NO! Don't say that, or they are convinced they have one foot in the door already! He says nope, not if ya tell 'em the right religion... What, I ask, what religion could that be? He says, I told some at Maw's just last week, I was a morphadite. WHAT!? I say too loudly. Do you even know what that IS? Sure, he sais, it's like them Amish and them. NOOO!I yell, that's MENNONITE. Yeah, he says, them! Well, morphadite, is that a word? Yes. Yes it is. Means your stoopid!
I tell them I don't need their religion because I talk to God personally. You'd be surprised how effective that is at keeping them away.
Last Thursday I had just gotten out of the shower and the door bell rang. I put a robe on and answered the door to find a pair of Jehangir Witnesses . I might not have worn the robe if I knew ahead . I was polite this time . Our conversation went like this :
JWant this doesn't look like a good time , we can come back later . Me that wouldn't work . I'm getting ready to move . JW are you moving far?
Me just to the city
JW could we read some scripture after you move ? Me I am an atheist . JW how do you feel about that ? Me I love it - makes me feel good . They left
I worked nights and would get to bed about 4 in the morning. These morons from the JW church around the corner would come by about every other week at 7am. I told them repeatedly that I worked nights so please don't bother me. They finally quit when I answered the door naked.
LOL just wait until you have been here for 6 months and have seen this same question posted 20+ times....
