Jehovah's Witnesses callers will soon ring doorbells

So I can look forward to seeing "Prince" at my doorstep with a copy of the "Watchtower"....

It only takes a few choice words and Jehovah Witness never comes back!

Hey, I scared 'em off. When I lived in Sacramento, they used to prowl my neighborhood every saturday at 7am. I finally made certain to be ready. I answered the door, dressed only in a pair of thigh high leather boots and holding a paddle. I said, "Oh, you aren't here for an appointment with Mistress Xenia?" They never came back.

You don't need a law to keep them away. You just need to be creative.

Make sure you have a Beer in your right hand and KY Jelly in your left hand as well. That should make a laugh or two....

I don't see why you couldn't. I did.

The law allows any one to come to your door and ring the bell or knock the door in hopes someone will answer. You can choose to ignore a solicitation. The law protects your rights there also.

Wonder how offended they'll be if I answer my door naked?

How offended will you be if they point and laugh?

Strangers bypass us for some reason.

Show up on someone's doorstep uninvited, you get what you get. I don't care if you are selling religion or brushes. If I didn't ask you to come buy, I am not going to be very nice to you. Especially at 7am on a Saturday.
