Topic: A couple of Mormons knocked on my door today................

[Terry in Australia]

I answered the door and got the usual friendly, "Good morning Sir, how are you today" from the two young American space cadets standing on my porch, resplendent in their white shirts and dark trousers, and their worn, but well polished shoes.

Well it was 112 deg F outside, and these poor buggers looked like they could do with a cold drink, so even though I'm not particularly religious, I invited them inside. They went back and retrieved their bicycles from the sidewalk, and parked them in the carport as I suggested, then followed me inside.

I sat them down and got them both a coke and said, "OK Guys, what do you want to talk about?"

I nearly snorted coke out of my nose when one of them replied nervously, "We don't know, we never got this far before."

OK True story

Back when we were allowed "handguns" in the UK, one of my "toys" was an 8 3/8 inch Smith and Wesson nickle plated model 29 (44 magnum).

Having not long been back from the range i was cross legged on the floor cleaning said piece when the doorbell range (again) so i flung the door open, with piece in hand, and growled YESSSS!!!.

Being 18 stone (times 14 to get Lb) long haired but none on top and scraggy beard i must have been an imposing site 'cos these two just said "Sorry ,doesn't matter" and disappeared.

For ever after when the "witnesses" turned up en-mass in the neighbourhood, as they do,  they stood over the road and consulted a small book then promptly walked fast in the other direction.

Yeah, we had a guy named Killer on our rugby team that let a bunch of jehovah's witnesses into a friend's house that he was a roomate with. Argued with them for 3  hours until Dan (the guy that owned the house) came home and he then immediately told them he was roman catholic and kicked them out. Dan says to Killer, "What the hell was that?" Killer explained to Dan that the people were JW's and he argued for 3 hours about religion, heaven and hell, fire and brimstone because he was bored and wanted to argue with someone. Yeah, he was that kind of a wiseguy

back in the day of singlehood, I had a huge roommate whom would love to accost these people with questions like:
Why does everything God makes die?
etc etc

Even though I consider myself religious, I would still laugh my head off.

we used to get jehovas witnesses twice weekly, used to that is. after the first visit of the day and now throughly aggravated by their persistence the doorbell rang AGAIN, different group of witnesses. i stripped down naked, opened the door and said in a loud jimmy durante type voice i said "come on in folks and lets talk about god!!!!!!!!!!!!!" i was picking up the pamphlets from my front yard the rest of that weekend. they dont even stay on my side of the street when they go past my house, they'll cross the street.

Not being a spiritual type I must confess that I don't 'get' what the devout see in their chosen religious affiliations. I'd rather be out riding my motorcycle on a Sunday.    But anyhoo I respect their beliefs, and good luck to them. However, when they try to inflict (and in my mind, force) their beliefs on me I get a little agitated.

We went through a phase where it seemed like every week we were being visited by various religious types. No problem, except some of them didn't appear to understand the meaning of "I'm not interested, thanks very much."

It eventually reached the point where I was confronted by a couple on the doorstep, whose opening gambit was "What can we do to put the youth of today back on the straight and narrow?" My reply was "I've always been a fan of a good thrashing, especially with something solid." After they collected their jaws from the floor the beat a hasty retreat. We were never bothered again.

When the Jehova's knock on my door i simply tell them " sorry i'm a Jehova's bystander, unlike the witnesses i don't get involved"   works every time..

We seem to get the Mormons in the summer time & the Jehovah nitwits (as we like to call them ) the rest of the time  , either way i just don't answer the door  , cheers Mick.

had a couple let themselves into my front yard (even with a six foot fence & prominent "beware of dog" sign)
  I stood back with a beer & watched the mutant cattle dog pull them back in by their ankles each time they tried to leave
  they cross the road now
