Door to door religion

[The Valkyrie]

I simply say "I'm not interested, thank you" and then close the door.

If they get pushy then my politeness disappears.

I had a really weird experience one time when two JW ladies knocked on my door and were trying to get me to go to something that was titled covertly like a "meeting." One of the ladies was trying really hard, but with the mannerisms she used and the way she was speaking it came across as if she was asking me to take her inside and make a woman of her.

It's a bizzare experience hearing someone proselytize their religion in a "fuck me" voice.

I must start watching this guy's videos. Lol!

That was funny when that guy tried to hit them with the broom.

Mainly the Jehovah wittiness religion do this but you occasionally get other groups.

What is your experience with them?

I have never been openly rude to them. I usually pretend to pay attention and take the pamphlet and throw it in the bin later. One time My sister noticed me talking to them at the door and played Tim minchin rather loudly. They went quickly and I haven't seen them since. Maybe they told their whole group to avoid our house.

In my town - you need a PERMIT to solicit door to door - period.
Even religious and non-profits need them - although they get them free.

THe purpose of the permit is to verify that the people going door to door are actually who they claim to be - instead of thieves casing the neighborhoods.

When someone comes to my door - I ask for a copy of the permit - and if they do not have it - I call the police - immediately.
