I just don't open the door to people I don't recognize. Mormons, JWs, vacuum salesmen, ax murders - it basically covers all unwelcome visitors.

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I like to mess with them and either get into a debate on religion or offer them a beer.
Other times, I just politely say no thanks in some way. Although it has been a long time since I have been approached.

Normally I'm polite, but the last time I told the person (who was being pushy) "No thanks, I'm Catholic. I'll put in a good word for you, though." I don't think this person was JW, - I believe she was from one from of the zillions of Pentacostal-type churches around here. Most JW's are actually pretty nice, in my experience.

It's risky, but you could always go the Marge Simpson route, and kill them with kindness. And, if you're lucky, they'll sneak out of the house when you go get more lemonade.
But, in all honesty, that's why man invented keyholes...you don't have to answer the door at all that way!

When we were first married, David was nice to 2 ladies that came to the door. I was finding Watchtowers every weekend. I kept telling him not to take them. The following week I was home from work. He was sitting just out of sight of the front door. This time it was 2 church elders. They wanted to talk to "David." I explained that we were not going to be converting and were not interested in JW. They got huffy with me and said they were there to talk to David, not me. I told them that would NOT be happening. They said that he must be interested because he was taking the magazines. "Yes, he took them to be polite. I ended up wtih them and promptly burned them. Please, do nto come back and make sur mo one else does either!!" I then slammed the door and never saw them again.
I don't know if we get them here since our doorbell doesn't work. |

Oh my gosh, didn't that really irk you? {"I came to talk to David"}. My f-i-l, well, I guess he figured he couldn't convert me {he and his wife used to come 'visit' me until I realized what they were doing, I quit answering the door} and tried to find other ways to get my husband to go to his church.
Hubster did go once, for some reason and just like giving the JWs his name, that was it. I swear, I can't recall the exact wording but I do remember him telling him about this woman from his church and how he should meet her. ![]() Then, the Hubsters ex went to his type of church and he tried to use her to get my husband to his church!! At a bbq they {hubby and fil} were off to the side, with the f-i-l next to the hubster, not me. He was quietly telling him about his ex and how he had seen her at church and how great it was and my husband was like 'What? Who?' and I peeped in and explained who he meant. {she later told me fil talked to her and asked her to call hubby and try to get him to come to church} So, as p'od as you were at those elders, imagine how I felt. My f-i-l didn't seem to count me or our 3 kids important enough and used other women to lure my hubby. And, no, he never went to church with him again. ![]()

Gentle words from a Nice [strike]Methodist[/strike Quaker Lady
If you come to my door and you're LDS, we'll talk about Utah because we like Utah and you probably are either from there or have relatives there.
Other denominations, peace be with you and don't let the door hit ya. |
