I have an active faith that's different than yours and I'm actually going to be late for my AA meeting if I don't start getting ready put this bottle down. Thanks for stopping by!

Ka-lick.

Well here is one example of how to deal with these awkward situations....
technically it's about Mormons, but it pretty much applies to all door knockers.

Ask a difficult question like "where was Walt Disneys little sister Ruth buried?" or "what is the white stuff in hot dogs?"

While personality can obviously differ quite a bit from person to person, my experience was always that a polite "I'm not interested in talking" and we were on our way.

And don't think you're being clever with some complex way of scaring them off. They've seen it all before and you're likely not really phasing them. It is like tricking your way out of jury duty; you're probably not nearly so clever and original as you think.

If you do get an obnoxious or otherwise pushy person and care to complain, get a hold of the local Kingdom Hall and ask to speak about it and let them know when and where it happened.

"Thank you, but I don't share your beliefs. Good luck." Something along those lines, and then I politely back up and shut the door.

I agree with Alex. Just say you aren't interested and close the door. It won't phase them in the least. If you really don't like being bothered, ask them not to come to your door again. They'll write it down and remember it for at least a year.

Having somewhat of a grudge against JW's currently, I'm planning something more like this, "Is it true that JW's discourage oral sex? I like sucking c*ck WAY too much to be a JW if that's the case. Give me the biggest c*ck you can find and I'll suck it! I don't even care who it's attached to. Old guys, religious guys, atheists, young guys...Hell I'll even suck a smelly homeless guy's c*ck! That's just how much I love c*ck. Fvck do I love c*ck! Do you guys love c*ck as much as I do?"

Of course, it won't do any good. But I'll be amused. :evil:

Looks like Sac is going to need some more watchtowers and another set of directions.

Oh, and it is taking every ounce of willpower not to add this to the quote list. I fear I may not hold out much longer.

I say go for it, MBC, before someone else does. Hehe

Yeah, they'll write your name down in a book. They act like it is just a simple question. See, I answer the door, am nice and take the book. They asked my name and I gave it. So. The next time they come they ask for me by name like they know me, are my friend. That pissed me off and I told them I was not interested.

Another time, after many weeks of not answering the door, my nephew answered the door with underwear on his head and talked to her.

Recently, some ladies who have been going next door {and I don't know if the family is JW, they celebrate the holidays, I believe} and visit with her. They saw my garage open as I was working out. I told them, 'Sure, leave the book on the car' and I continued. The following week she came back. She asked if she could come in to the garage I told her no as my dog would get her and secondly, that I am actually not interested in discussing my religion.

Normally, they ask if someone speaks Spanish, no, and they leave. Also, when they start talking, I say I am Catholic and start closing the door. Door to door salespeople? Usually for home remodeling, etc. I tell them I am renting and the owner isn't interested in doing any improvements.

My mother, now, she gives the ladies heck. Or used to. One time I was there she answered the door and totally chewed out these two ladies walking around with their kids. She told them that her God wouldn't have her dragging her kids all over the street putting them in danger. Go home and take care of your kids, she said.

But, it isn't right for anyone to come to your door to discuss your personal religion.

Since my bluetooth headset seems permanantly attached to my ear, I open the tiny tiny windor/door in my front door and mouth "I'm on the phone" while pointing to my ear.

If that fails, I say "Oh, thanks, but I'm not interested." If they ask if they can leave some literature I just say "Please don't".
