They used to come to my house all the time. Then I was trying on my Whermacht Uniform for a reenactment one sunday morning when they came knocking. They were a little dismayed to see a WW2 German Solider at the door and havent been back since.

Your post triggered two vignettes:
1) Sitting on my porch in Florida when two young girls are dropped off by a car and come up and start their JW spiel. I ask them if they are witnessing and they say "Yes". I listen for a few minutes and then start my spiel about how I believe in the Twelfth Planet. :-) After a minute or so, with eyes as big as saucers (He's going to change form!") they said "We have to go now." and fled back to the car. Never was bothered again.

Years later in Nevada a knock at the door revealed some guy offering financial advice. I wondered why his eyes got big as he kept stammering and looking at my T-shirt. I looked down and got embarrassed as it was one from the Jews For Firearms Ownership:

(nobody ever read the words, just thought I was pro-Nazi, which is why I never wore it in public.) It was a short interview.

LOL.

When I lived in Provo, UT, all my LDS neighbors used to send the JWs over to my house (I was LDS at the time). Now, those were fun conversations!!
