You know where it goes from there...


I don't know. What do you mean? Could you elaborate?

That would be a far more interesting direction for this thread to take.

Unfortunately, all I ever get are lady JWs and crack addict magazine salesmen.

Would you settle for me? :lol:


Well, Canadians are rather similar to Mormons, but you'd have to bring a friend.


Hey btownmeggy,

Try the same thing with the lady JWs. Could you imagine how fast they'd beat a path out of there? OOopps, sorry I think I missed the point there. :oops:

I different approach is to say "Listen, I not going to convert. If you'd just like to practice your sales pitch, I'll give you five minutes before I close the door". Then look at your watch, and don't look back up.

I find the best way is to listen politely to them, nod encourigingly, then at a good point when thay've run out of things to tell you about, say "by the way, i'm a diabolist, would you be intrested in converting to the church of satan?"

You can pretend to have an imaginary friend who doesn't like them. This one's great; you don't have to come up with anything to say, just alternately laugh and be shocked at what your friend says.


To add a little bit to it, make it their fault that he's mad. Start off with "Could you move! You're standing on George's foot!"

so stupid and brief:
answer the door like you're at someone else's door
for example if someone knocks on your door open it and ask them "is michael home?"
or like "have you found God in your life?"
then close the door in their face.

Don't answer any of their questions. Just stand. Don't change your facial expression. Funnier if you look tall and menacing and can block the entire doorway. Look at them in the eye the whole time. Haven't tried it yet.

Hmm....I have that tall part, and I suppose I could look menacing if I got the right sunglasses....

I'll have to try this one sometime.

Answer their questions completely wrong. Like:

"Would you like this bottle of shampoo?"

"Yes the weather really is nice, good day for football but I heard its gunna rain later on"

"No sorry sir, I said would you like shampoo"

"O the seaside? This time of year? No, not warm enough, you have to wait till June at least"

"Shampoo, for you hair sir!"

"No, I do not want car insurance! Please go away!"

*Slam door!*

once a mother and a child(i believe it were johova's withness) came to my door and did their talk, when they were finished, i sad, sorry my parents aren't home, and slam the door....

what i most of the time do is lying upstairs at the end of the stairs, and look down at the door, and just wait when they go away, the ring the door bel several times....and start looking inside to see if anyone is home.....

slap them across the face the second they walk in the door

WARNING:make sure that it isnt your neighbor before doing. on second thought...make sure it is your neighbor

Pussy. It's much funnier for them to know you're definitely home. I had a friend who' just sit in his front room and let them knock on the window for a while. They'd do this every week regularly. The last time they came he got his flatmate to hide under the windowsill inside (its a big bay window) and when they started knocking on the window slowly hold up a sign which said 'I still don't care...' whilst he blatantly ignored them and carried on watching TV.
