I always just tell them right away that I'm a "very devout atheist," and if they keep going after that I say, "if someone tried to convert you, would you leave your faith?" Of course they say no. And I tell them that I feel the exact same way about my beliefs. But honestly, most of them give up after I tell them I'm an atheist. I guess they think I'm already a lost cause, lol.
Anyway, if that doesn't work either, I say you start acting like you are trying to convert her to an atheist or a wiccan or something. Go get the satanic bible from the library and pull it for her when she comes by. You know, have a little fun with it!
okay......satanic bible, Ice Cube...check!

I can tell you what not to do and that's to definitely not answer the door in a white tank top and pajama bottoms. A couple of years ago 2 kids (probably about 19) came to my door early in the morning to spread the word and they could not stop staring at my boobs the entire time. I'm pretty sure if I had invited them inside they would have forgotten all about good old jehova. Apparently boobies trump faith every time. Not sure what impact that would have on the old lady though :think: :problem:

That is hilarious!
I had completely forgotten about it until this thread got started but a few years ago I had a funny encounter with some Witnesses, although nothing like comebackgirl's story.
I was at home on medical leave after having surgery. To make things worse my husband was home sick with the flu. I was snoozing on the sofa when the doorbell rang and woke me up. Half asleep I jumped up and ran to open the door. There were 2 of the sweetest ladies you could ever meet. They were very friendly and started talking about the world situation. One of them was saying, "These are very troubled times we're living in. Wouldn't you agree these are troubled times?" By this time I was feeling a lot of pain from running to the door and also trying to shush my barking dogs so as not to disturb my husband. I was thinking "You have NO IDEA how TROUBLED it is around here!" I just said something like "I'm sorry, my husband and I are both sick today" and they left.

But sheesh! When aren't there troubled times?!?!
It's always awful somewhere! :fp:
Also, he saw my cat and asked what her name was. I said Akasha, which is a Sanskrit word meaning Air / Ether. I told him I picked it because of the Akashic Records which is where all of recorded history is written in Hindu tradition. He asked if I was a Hindu, I said no but I relate to some of their stuff. He wanted to remember that name and wanted me to spell it out for him. I wrote it down for him. With any luck, I can convert him.

So it's 9pm, and there is a knock on my door, ok more of a solid ***poundpoundpound***...I figure it's the neighbor coming over to tell me my cat died (that's a different story).
But NOOOOOOoooooooooohhhhhhhHHHHHHHhhhhhh, it's young girl who is trying to 'sell' me her books, cookbooks or something, and they are selling them on 'donation' for $25. :x
"No thank-you I have a bunch of cookbooks (that I don't use) already"
"Can I give you this book with inspirational sayings for a small donation?"

they just came here a few weeks ago! and stuck a flyer in my door so it came INSIDE my house...yeah, not under the doorknob, or tucked in the storm door handle...they opened the storm door, and slid the flyer between the door jamb so it was sticking out where I couldn't miss it...or were they trying to open my door with their flyer? That was a suspicious move much like the credit card trick for opening a locked door.
SHIT! Now they are going to come back because I answered the door...who the FUCK knocks on a door at 9pm at NIGHT?!?!?!

A song my family sang whenever JW's came to our door: "Lock the windows and hit floor! The Jehovah Witnesses are at the door!" And that's exactly what we did.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
I have asked for a peephole for the last SEVEN YEARS! But no, "we don't get people coming to the door that often" :x
I asked for one of those CCTV baby monitors to stick in the side window next to the front door, and I get told "you're being silly".
The living room is in the back of the house, so it can look like nobody is home, but people ALWAYS try to peek in the front door window. Previously, they've knocked so quietly, I wasn't sure if someone was knocking, even my little yip-yap dog didn't bark. This time she knocked so loud, the little dog freaked out and wouldn't stop, and then the lab started barking and growling. If I had either the CCTV or the peephole, I would not have answered the door. Besides norm, like I originally stated, I thought it was the neighbor coming over to tell me my cat died.
Again, who the hell solicits at 9pm at night? Well, unless you're a 'lady of the night' I suppose. Wait, I didn't know the JWs did that...
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.
oh, I answered the door wearing boxers...I don't think she noticed, damnit.

I had a strange one yesterday! I looked out the window first, and saw a Japanese lady with an umbrella, no books or clipboards. so I answered it. Turns out she wanted to know what my plants were in my front yard because shes building a Japanese garden. I thought that was a fair enough question but then she asked all these questions about my cat, who was nowhere to be seen. :? I was left thinking, were the plants a decoy question just to ask about my cat? Has my cat been an A-hole and shit in her Japanese garden and she was hunting the owner down?

Maybe she's lonely and trying to make friends? Or perhaps is just interested in plants and cats and sees a kindred spirit in you! ... My mom has people stop and talk to her ALL the time when she's out front gardening (she has the most beautiful garden ever), and has made several friends that way - this seems normal to me!

She was actually a very nice lady. I was just worried that my cat was being a prick because he usually is and I didn't want him bothering her. i woke up to him this morning under my sheets, hes not usually allowed in my bedroom but he got in there some how? :roll: and he was attacking the living crap out of my feet. :x she nice though, she's actually coming back to ask my husband about the rest of the plants.

Last night after dinner, kicking back relaxing. Doorbell rings (rather urgently too), dogs go crazy. Mr. goes to answer the door-we think it's a neighbor.
No...it's a kid selling something. I can't hear much since my dogs are barking. I hear "Do you have change for a 20?" I think, 'what the hell are you buying now?' :roll: He comes back with a box of caramel pecan things. Says, "the kid told me 'your house smells really really good'" :? :shock: :oops:
I look at the box of candy it's a box of fundraiser candy to keep kids out of trouble..."It's a proven fact that a teenager kept busy stays out of trouble!" and has a picture of 'No to Gangs! No to Crime! No to Drugs!'
:fp: Listen up here kid, complimenting me on the smell of my house is not the best thing to say when you are attempting to sell me the idea that you are bettering yourself! :nono:

this is how you should be doing it...
door bell rings...
you look out....
see somebody you don't know holding a clipboard or box of stuff or whatever
quickly realizing they are trying to sell something...
you open the door, say no thank you, and close the door.
badda boom badda bing.
don't let them speak first...don't let them speak at all.
just don't answer the fucking door
there is no requirement to so this ya know
A wise Criminal Justice professor said this during a lecture: "If a cop comes to your door, don't open it."
I have asked for a peephole for the last SEVEN YEARS! But no, "we don't get people coming to the door that often" :x

Last night after dinner, kicking back relaxing. Doorbell rings (rather urgently too), dogs go crazy. Mr. goes to answer the door-we think it's a neighbor.
No...it's a kid selling something. I can't hear much since my dogs are barking. I hear "Do you have change for a 20?" I think, 'what the hell are you buying now?' :roll: He comes back with a box of caramel pecan things. Says, "the kid told me 'your house smells really really good'" :? :shock: :oops:
I look at the box of candy it's a box of fundraiser candy to keep kids out of trouble..."It's a proven fact that a teenager kept busy stays out of trouble!" and has a picture of 'No to Gangs! No to Crime! No to Drugs!'
:fp: Listen up here kid, complimenting me on the smell of my house is not the best thing to say when you are attempting to sell me the idea that you are bettering yourself! :nono:
