Title: Door to door christians!
Drake - January 17, 2007 04:49 AM (GMT)
I think I've just had it with this guy. I work second shift, so I sleep in till around 12 noon everyday, but this guy's been waking me up every friggin morning at 9am for the past week stuffing pamphlets down my throat and telling me how I'm gonna go to hell if I don't go to his church . :angry: I been trying to be nice to him and all thinking if I provoke him he'll just bother me more, but man! today I had to threaten him that I'd call the police and put a restraining order on him for harassment before he left me alone. What the heck is the deal with these people? They can like smell it from you if you're not christian. I've had problems like this in other places ive lived as well. I think I'm gonna start hanging hooked chains from my ceilings and festooning my doorways with pig entrails if they keep this up.

I say "Sorry, not interested" and shut the door in their face while they're mid sentence.
Tough but fair.

I don't even say anything, I just open the door, look at them and close the door :D

Claim that you just got interrupted sacrificing your neighbour's cat to the goddesses.

I can't say I've ever had someone try to sell me their religion, but I definitely don't like the idea of it.

I just can't be rude to people unless of course im pushed right over the edge and I lose control. id love to slam the door on 'em everytime like stevo but I just dont have it in me if you know what I mean.
Stevorooni - January 17, 2007 09:01 AM (GMT)
Oh I'm not angry and slamming the door when I do it, I'm 'politely' telling them I am not interested then not giving them any chance to argue back :D

Guy sounds like an idiot to me.
Just ask him if he really thinks he's doing any good by God going around making everybody LESS likely to hear his word. He's only hardening heart as opposed to infiltrating them, ninja-style.
That'll shut him up. :P

I had the same guy bug me about four or five times while I lived in Berlin (I think I was 11). Being the little pre-teenaged shit I was I kept telling him to piss of (In the best German I could), though after the fifth time I called the police and they came and told him to stop harrassing me.
Basically in Germany it's not illegal but most people think it should be, it's that bad oevr there. They're not even German most of them. Mainly Albanian and Croatian who speak very bad German.

I like to call them out. There's plenty of websites around that point out the flaws in Jehovah and Mormonism (the only two I've encountered so far).
"DEFEND YOUR FAITH DAMMIT!". Usually they cotton onto what I'm trying to do and leave.

My family either say we are Muslim (if they knock), or wait for them to walk off when the door alarm doesn't work (for just that reason).

Nothing a violent epileptic fit (which could, and probably should, involve you hitting him across the face) can't handle. Hurray! Assault on your criminal record, but damn it'll be worth it.
If it gets worse, then do call the police. He'll be scarpering when the nick arrive, fear not.

As a Christian, I understand his motives. As a guy who dearly values his privacy, I understand your annoyance. I agree with Guru that those kind of shinanigans turn far more people away from God than they attract. It's funny, I can only assume that the 'job' would come with a lot of aggro, so anyone who gave you the time of day you would kinda latch onto. So by being nice, you've probably encouraged him to hassle you more than if you'd punched him in the face :D
I say try the Guru method... the look on his face would be priceless. See if you can get a picture of it :D

Don't say anything, just give them a blank stare, and try not to blink... they won't stay long.

We've had J.W come to the door only 2 times!
10 years ago they came to my door at 8am! I had just had a baby days prior and the baby had been up most of the night and then we finally get to sleep and these 2 men dressed very nicely were pounding on the door!
I was ready to kick some a$$ :fight:
I opened the door and they started with starting the day off with their GOD......I told them, they could start their day off with GOD but at their house and NEVER to return to mine as they'd see the %^&$ devil come out of me! :lol:
THey came for the first time this summer and I just told them to not return as I have my own beliefs and it wasn't there's!
I was much kinder :thumbsup:
