How To Discourage Church Solicitation... - Page 2

Well...........that's why he's my EX! LOL jo

Ummm....why not just do the polite thing, open the door and say you're not interested?

Sorry, to me these folks are about as welcome as telemarketers. I choose not to have my days interrupted by the likes of either. What we need is a "National Do Not Ring or Knock Registry"! Maybe hang a "do not disturb" tag on the doorknob?  I feel like a bloody hypocrite when I accept their religious pamphlets with the full knowlege that I will immediately trash them. 

I was always polite when I had no choice but to answer the door and trip over my "canine alarms".

AUUUUGGGGHH!!!

I GIVE UP!!

I post something funny here to lighten the mood, after the innocent thread that turned into the Leerburg Assasination thread, and you have to drag this one down, too!!

What a bunch of horse's asses!  

I thought it was funny.  

I had a cousin that would offer to sit and listen if they would also sit and listen to her religion pitch, then she would claim to be a wiccan and they had to come back during a full moon, remove all clothes, and sit in her garden while they traded ideas.  They would leave and not come back.  

Shasta-I've found being polite does not work. Not that I'm polite. But my husband used to be polite to them. Most would just keep coming back. After a while he would let me answer the door. Which I mostly enjoyed. I have found that repeating everything they say will make them take me off their list-telemarketers and solicitors of all kinds. Ex.-

Them: Hi I'm from the Fuller Brush Company.

Me: Hi I'm from the Fuller Brush Company.

Them: Pardon me?

Me: Pardon me?

etc. etc.. Not only does it work like a charm but it's fun as hell.

Sunsilver, please don't ruin everyone's fun by the "Mennonite Penelope Pitstop" routine. Which is really a whole lot nicer than calling you a "horse's ass".  And I personally love a good horse's ass. Quarter horses and Fresians are the best.

holy cow that was funny.  I was raised in a conservative christian home and am still in that belief, but I dont go door to door and I think that probably Christ had a pretty funky sense of humor.  Not to mention that just possibly, maybe, perhaps when a mormon church family showed up at my door I perhaps, maybe pretended to be somewhat, mentally offbalance.  I might have drooled, I might have stepped up close to the gentleman at the door and grinned at him while reaching for his lapel, I might have... maybe pulled at the woman's skirt and tried to peek under it.... but... I might have been mentally disturbed.... so what could they do?  They politely dismissed themselves and i managed to duck behind the door before slumping to the floor in muffled laughter.

maybe

Okay, Lisa, you are the champ! That's great!
