A simple “no, thank you” isn’t sufficient for those people; they are truly a pia.
I’ve never had a problem getting rid of them. I just tell them what I think of their church.
As best I can tell, Mormons don’t go door-to-door anymore.
Follow that simple rule and you create a lot fewer problems for yourself.
Yosemite Sam has not been a workable problem solving model for some time.
In Arkansas!, I’m betting that if nothing got hit in 19 shots, nobody was trying to injure anyone. On the other hand, this guy really needs to go to jail for felony stupidity. A simple, “I am the owner, leave the property now” will suffice. Even “witnesses” know the key words to a trespass arrest.
Hate to see how he treats trick or treaters or girl scouts?
I had a couple come to my door (after the 40th time) and invited them in. They sat on my couch and I asked “Would you both like a cup of tea?” They looked at each other and said “Please.” While the tea was steeping I gave them a plate of scones and came back with the tea. They both sampled the tea and scones and I sat in my chair across from them. I asked “What would you like to talk about?” They looked at each other and said “ I don’t know. We never got this far before.” I ushered them out the door. Nice ladies, probably.
Yes—you have to give them credit. They think they are doing the Lord’s work.
They still come through our neighborhoods this year.
“The Church of His Satanic Majesty, Lucifer, Prince of Darkness.”...I go to Our Lady of Consumption.
“He answered the door in the nude.”
Don’t knock it. It works.
Don’t ask me how I know...
That is outrageous. I have never had a problem with JWs or Mormons or any other door-to-door ministry. A couple of times I’ve talked with them, but usually I simply say, “no thank you” and close the door. I have never needed to defend myself. I have lived in (and had JWs knock) 5 different states.
The guys reaction and your response are both over the top.
Okay, the Arian heresy can provoke violent reactions — St. Nicholas slugged Arius during the First Ecumenical Council — but this is carrying it too far.
I’ve always met JW’s and Mormons on my doorstep and preached Holy Orthodoxy to them, leaving them mystified since instead of their getting to try to convert me, I turned the tables on them. I think they’ve put a mark on my house or something since they no longer come around.
If you don’t like what they are selling, a simple “no, thank you” will do.
If they are witless, I try to convert them to mormonism and vice versa....
Great, our Mormons are lazy. :)
