380SwiftEncounter with a door to door climate change warrior
My wife is unfailing polite to the JWs and Mormons. Telling them no thanks, we like our church, yadda yadda, etc.
I on the other hand am not. The last group of Mormons that came to my door had me point to the sign that says "No Soliciting, Politics, or Religon" and told them to read it as I slammed the door in their faces. My wife was pissed at me and I still don't care. The sign is polite, if you ignore it, then fuck your feelings.

SilentAbout 40+ years ago a friend of mine and I were renting a house in the Seattle area. There were a couple of elderly ladies that kept coming by to invite us to church. As my friend worked nights we tried politely to ask them not to come back. That request fell on deaf ears.
My friend ended it for good. After the knock he opened the door with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other.... oh he was buck naked as well. They never came back.

She was visibly frightened. I felt bad that she was being dragged around door to door to push the JW agenda.
I work for a prominent Jehovah family for 3 decades. One fringe benefit is when the Jehovah's come calling I know most of them. When I don't know them I politely tell them I'm secure in my faith, and that usually shuts them down. Having an 85 pound lab by the collar helps too.

EdmondI just tell them not interested and close the door in their face. That's if they heard me over the 3 dogs barking.
If I wanted to be lectured, I'd go to class or listen to my wife...

arfmelPretty sure 79% of the bothersome morons don’t know what “soliciting” means...

CQB60Used to have a neighbor who had a Fila Brasileiro & sign stating he wasn’t responsible for solicitors or their medical & therapy fees after entering upon his property.

In my neighborhood, they have to be permitted and be sporting visible identification
This is how it is in our town. They have to go to city hall and have a background check ran. Its a misdemeanor if they knock on the door that is posted or don't have city issued id in plain sight.
I haven't reported anyone yet. I found using your pistol to point out the sign in the door works very well.

Funny you mentioned this. I did something almost similar to some JWs but I kept my shorts on.
