When evangelists knock at your door..?

Question

What do you do, are you too busy, do you invite them in and then explain the house all-nude rule, do you talk to them about devil worship?

Answer 1

I heard that a fellow Pagan lights white candles and says im purifying the room from your dark energies. I like that idea.

Answer 2

I think evangelists are rediculous. To walk door to door and "promote" your religion is absurd. How are people going to go to complete strangers doorsteps and push your religion. To have a religion at all in these days is great. Now for your problem? I can think of several things to do, but for a quick end to the annoying visitors. Open the door, and when they say, "have you heard the good news?" Say yes, I have, I am the antichrist... it'd be good to have marylin manson, or some death metal screaming in the background... then just politely shut the door..

Once, several years ago, like almost 15 years, I was actually going out to a rifle range and opened the door at my parents home before the Jehovah's Witnesses could knock. So there I was holding two rifles, a brick of .22 ammo, and about 50 rounds of .32 ammo.

They looked at me; I looked at them....

I asked, "Can I help y'all?"

They mumbled about reading some stuff and left. My parents haven't had Jehovah's Witnesses back since.

Answer 4

It is not proper for a man - let alone - more than one man at the same time - to ring the door in the day time.

A lot of women are at home alone - and that is not proper - to expect them to open the door then.

This is a country in which things are very badly organised in this way - because one takes no consideration of this at all.

Repairman - are also complete strangers - and I think that is very improper and you cannot expect a woman that is home alone to open the door.

THe same goes for policemen etc.

There are rapists among such people - and voyeurs - and thiefs and other weirdo's.

This society should do something about such things.

Answer 5

I invite them to answer me what they believe the best answers to the 4 Major branches of philosophy are?
Metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and politics.

They look at me cross-eyed and I explain nicely that they simply aren't educated enough, to talk with me yet. keep on learning. I also will continue my education..

Many times they ask me to teach them, and I do. They all thank me for opening their eyes. Some can only think God must be speaking directly though me. Weird huh?

You see, I desire to bring out the best in people, not the worst.

Answer 6

Let them in , listen to the message. It;s wonderful. Then tell them to go to the Catholic, the Jew, Jehovas Witness, the Sihk , the Hindu, the Mulim etc and convert them. Because they will knock the door with a similar message. When you have converted them then come back.
It's Bullshit with all religions.

Answer 7

For the Jehovah's witnesses, I tell them I'm not interested because I already know I won't be one of the 144,000, and close the door.
For the mormons, I tell them "health to your navel, marrow to your bones" (part the secret password in the mormon temple that gets you into the highest level of heaven), and then close the door.
For everyone else, I tell them that they should study something based on fact like science, and how would they like it if I interrupted their dinner to proclaim the non-existence of god...then I close the door.

:)

Answer 8

I open my door for God - not people who think they can tell me how to worship him.
I get JW at my door but since I have a baby, I answer at the window. I usually just tell them I am happy with my religion.

Answer 9

true story

one afternoon some Jehovas Witnesses came round. As my religion promotes religious tollerance i invited themin, they started asking what my beliefs are so i explained to the about Paganism then listened to what they had to say about their religion. Eventually they left, leaving some magazines/leaflets and i thought nothing of it.

2 weeks later at a coven meeting, who should turn up but the bloke that was sent to convert me, by explaining my point of view and listening to his, i had subconciously converted him to Paganism!!!! (it was never my intention as i dont believe in trying to convert people)

Answer 10

Super glue on the door bell, or a wire leading to a mains socket

Answer 11

Have a quick peek before you answer the door. If its them come out sporting a Moslem turban. Or better still, lots of black makeup and horns. Meh!
