    Sounds like she's been nice (and seemingly sincere) to you throughout this...maybe you could do the same with her?

    Just be honest and forthright.

    Those who shouldn't take offense to that, won't.
    No look, in all seriousness, that's why I haven't said anything to her so far. She actually is a nice lady, if she wasn't it would be easier to tell her leave. I know your right, I have to be honest with her, thing is I was actually quite honest with her last time but she still comes round. Guess I have to show tough love. ;)

    Some of these suggestions are hilarious! :lol:

    But for a serious answer, I occasionally have Jehovah's Witnesses come by. I don't answer the door if I see them coming but sometimes I'm outside working in the yard and it's hard to hide! :lol: I'll admit, the people who do this always seem to be very nice and I hate to be rude to them. So I tell them, "My husband's brother is a Witness and he already gives us your literature." (It's true, my brother-in-law is but he doesn't give us their stuff or try to convert us.) So the people who stop by figure we must be in good hands and they go on their way.

    If you don't mind fibbing, you could tell her that a good friend of yours has become a Witness and you're studying with her. Although it's probably a little late to get away with line like that. :think: Better go with one of these drastic approaches!

    Maybe if she weren't so old I'd suggest my old stand by approach: Say to the person, "Hey, I notice Jehovah Witness churches have no windows. So, ahhh, what exactly goes on in there any way?" And then give her a devilish little smile and kind of raise your eye brows up and down.

    In this case though, probably honesty is your best policy. I know, easier said than done.

    We used to get JW's coming around frequently when I was growing up; they were all over my town. Usually we just wouldn't answer the door when we saw them coming.
    One time they caught my mom in the back yard. My mom said, very honestly, "Sorry, but I'm a Christian", and they left her alone. I didn't know saying that actually worked!

    LouLou...this thread is all kinds of funny!

    Honestly, I get JW, ba'hai (?), Christian and Mormon people knocking on my door...or their leaflets are left on my doorstep. I never answer the door, but I may have to try some of these suggestions to make them stop coming over!

    now I know to NEVER accept a "gift" from a nice young man or nice old lady...they really like to lay on the guilt trip really thick...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
