when is hating a door to door preaching mormon telling him/her to get fucked and to get off your property?
when is this hate? this is not hatred at all. sure it isn't openly being outgoing and kind to them, but it sure isn't hate.
it's telling them to get the fuck out and quickly. that's all it is. it has nothing to do with hating anyone.for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

I don't think any public demonstration would be the same as these same people knocking at your door to 'impose' their message.
A public demonstration is just that - public, out in the open. Door to door infringes on your property, your personal space, your personal time - thrusting something down your throat that you are not seeking. You are not 'out there' in your own home. I hate door to door - it is very intrusive. And they usually turn up when it's dinner time, or just after when you are trying to relax (or just before when you're trying to get it ready!), or too early in the morning. They bank on you being at home at those times - intrusive.0 -

some are unwarrantedly rude
some remain civil and respect others for each their own
it is an intrusion and how we handle that is all telling of our nature0 -
I've had numerous visits by both Mormons and Jehovah witnesses. I've tried just about everything to get them to bug off. What's worked best for me with the Mormon's is telling them about my visit to New Mexico one year where I saw plenty of evidence that the Mormon's there talk the local American Indians how to trade one addiction (alcohol) for another (their fairy tales) and get the Indian's to give them their money in the deal. They leave.
My tactic with the Jehovah Witnesses is to ask them about their church architecture. I tell them, "I notice your churches have no windows. I find that very, very, very interesting," and then just kind of stare at them. They leave."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

My mother a very very devout christian has turned away 7th Day Adventist
wo have visited her home. She tells them *Sorry no thanks and when they persists she again says *I said no thank you please leave NOW!*
I see no hate there....it's Im not interested. Many different people have their own way of saying no to christians who comes to their door and its their right TO DO SO in whatever way they choose. I;m sure they are not surprised by this because we are ALL NOT the same and if you think differently that this is hate then you are in judgement of those who may say fuck off Imnot interested.
They could just be having a bad day (foreclosure, can;t pay the light bill).

Peace
all they might wish for is respect
at this point they are probably surprised if anyone ever even listens
the hate mentioned runs much deeper than answering the door unfortunately0 -

oK BUT If you change the word mormon above to gay and someone told them to get the f*ck off their property would you still say it has nothing to do with hate?0 -

If you can't tell the difference between having a parade down a public street and knocking on people's doors and thrusting propaganda literature at them, I'm not sure we can have this conversation.I'm not sure I get why gay people need to march or what it even achieves.
Dunno. Why do straight people have to hold up traffic with their marriage parades and tacky dresses and honking horns and waving that "Just married" sign? I mean they don't even get a permit to do that.Ass less leather chaps, Men with nipple chains on all 4s... And indeed the press were loving it. Talk about loading the gun
First... all chaps are "assless." Chaps with an ass in them are called "pants."
Yes, there are a few people who dress up in a silly costume for a parade.
Here's a bunch of freaks dressed up crazy for the gay parade...
I mean... straight people would NEVER do something like that, would they?

Oh wait... :roll:0 -

I don't know where you live but I have never once had a gay person come to the door wanting to give me literature about becoming a homosexual.
Oddly enough, I've had Jehova's Witnesses coming to the door giving me literature about NOT being one.0 -
"oh my goodness, he told me...no wait, he shouted sternly, get the fuck off my porch. he hates us bible thumpers"
no he doesn't hate you. he just asked you to get the fuck off his porch. hate? no. disliking your company the way you intrude into his zone all unwarranted...yes.
