Nataly 38 #1 September 22, 2012 Got woken up early this morning by religious zealots wanting to reassure me that the end of the world was NOT coming... Honestly... What drives otherwise sane people to bother their neighbours at stupid o'clock on a Saturday to tell them such nonesense??? ETA - I don't want to get into the whole religious debate... Just, WHY pick such an unreasonable hour???

jackwallace 3 #9 September 22, 2012 The real way to get them to leave you alone is to invite them to your church. I even save the little pamphlets the Jehovah witnesses give you to hand them. They will take off running. Chase them down the road, asking them for their phone number and address so you can pick them up. They never come back. I think they have a map with a big make on it at my house.U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyMcSwervy 0 #10 September 23, 2012 When I first moved into my house a group of holy rollers were going door to door early on a Saturday morning. I was unpacking boxes and blasting Kid Rock, my favorite. I didn't get the funny until after I blew them off at the door.... the song blasting in the background... "Devil Without A Cause". And the neighbors and I try to call each other to warn what's coming when we can. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,382 #13 September 23, 2012 Quote Next time just answer the door with panties on your head and a chainsaw in your hand...word will get around, they'll stop bothering ya! In college I was a "non-traditional" student, (ie >25yo), so I was put in one the the "grad houses". There were two kinds of people there: 1. Actual grad students. 2. Undergrads >25yo, of which most seemed to be ex-military. Crazy Larry was the latter, having served 2 tours in 'Nam, and he was...shall we say...very rough around the edges. He told me this story: He was hosting a cookout on the balcony of his apt with his GF and another couple. While on the balcony, they noticed a pair of young men in dark slacks, white shirts, and neckties, going from door to door. Shortly after throwing the steaks on the grill, there was a knock at the door; Larry's GF peeked through the peep-hole in the door, and whispered: "Oh, shit! It's them!" "Stand back!" whispered Larry; "I'll take care of this." He grabbed a raw steak off the grill, squeezed it to get bloody juice all over his hands, then rubbed his hands over his face. Then he stuck the steak on the end of his Gerber Mark II, and holding it in one hand, used the other hand to throw open the door and bellow: "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT??? WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A HUMAN SACRIFICE IN HERE!!!" "There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Close, whenever the J.W.s ring (which is not very often, because we live out in the middle of nowhere) I put a towel around my hair and a bathrobe on with nothing underneath. It usually cuts the conversation very short. I don't actually have a problem with door-to-door religious salesmen, but as Nataly says, why do they do it at such an early hour? It's sets them up for failure before the door ever opens. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me neither...when the mormons and JW's come around I'll talk with them for awhile and even invite them in and offer coffee, baileys/kahlua and a cigar... I know of one guy who was the product of a rape. He finally built up the courage to blow his head off, but right before he pulled the trigger those damn evil evangelical blood sucking bible thumping thieves come knocking on his door and basically saved his pathetic life....so I don't really care if a few non-believers get a little pissed off and annoyed every once in awhile, that's life...they'll get over it.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...
