Sorry to keep asking these questions, but I am quite alone in this world. I met a 7th day Adventist in a job a while ago and although I no longer work there, she keeps asking why I don’t reply to her emails. She gave a book for me to read once on end times and because I hadn’t read it, she said, “Satan is keeping you from reading it”. The thing is, I don’t want to be part of her life and I stupidly gave her my home phone number. She rang last night and my housemate answered it. He told her I wasn’t in and she asked him where I was now working and said he didn't know. I don’t want her to ring my home number again either. I don’t know what to do. She helped my mum once and she gave her advice about her health matter and although I gave her some flowers to thank her, I wonder if this colleague is making me pay for her advice?!

Return her book so that she has no reason to call you and tell her that if she contacts you again you will make a complaint to the police under the 1997 Protection from Harassment Act.

.......thats one of the worst arrogant habits that people from the church often have,....if you begin to resist them they will nearly always try to intimidate you with threats from hell or satan. Do what we want or else. Those are the tactics of thugs criminals and hoodlums.....If she wishes to persist in constantly annoying you with books and pamphlets about jesus perhaps you should consider telling her to direct all further calls emails and contact with your business manager as you are currently studying the flute to play in a punk band touring china next year....When she ask's for the number of your manager simply tell her sure,......you gave it to jesus yesterday and shell be able to get it off jesus by praying to him.......If she ask's why its not possible to give her the number then, simply say because those were the instructions from your manager, then simply give her a blessing from god, a merry christmas, have a good day, and youre manager will handle all further enquiries,..and bye............Any further calls can then simply fobbed off with a,......Hi,..see my manager,.and bye. They can be pushy and arrogant at times, walking around calling everyone, uncleansed, bad, sinners, unsaved, etc, etc, that some times they become a real pain in the !!!!.........Try fobbing her off like that and see how she likes it being annoyed for a bit of a change.....Good luck @ hope this help's.....

Sounds like a religious fanatic stalker, there is technology that you use to block specific numbers from your phone, if that is not available to you I am afraid you may have to change your phone number or get a restraining order, extreme but it is either that or put up with it.

She is probably well meaning but you don't need a stalker who is telling you that you are going to hell if you don't do as she does. Perhaps a friendly and kindly worded email to thank her for her help but to let her know that you do not wish to convert would set her straight. Be nice but be firm that you no longer wish to correspond with her if all she wants from you is to be able to save you.

"Satan is keeping you from reading it"....no wonder you don't want to know her...she's deranged...don't answer you phone any more...let the machine take your calls, or like you mentioned, ask you mate to answer...she's flipped her lid, and no just because she helped your mum, don't mean that you should owe her anything..next time she calls tell her you are very busy and cannot talk then hang up immediately...otherwise change your number..she sounds really freaky to me...

Email her back and tell her you are not interested in her religion right now, thank her for trying to help you but tell him you are not looking into religion at this time in your life and that you will contact her when you are ready to make that step. if she doesn't get it then just block her emails and keep screening your calls

Answer her call and tell her honestly that you don't want to continue the acquaintance. You don't need to be rude, but you don't have to give her an explanation either. If she continues to call after that, tell her that her behavior has become harassing and that if she doesn't quit you will need to contact the authorities.

You should tell this person to leave you alone. If you are not brave enough, they will keep pestering you. I am sad that someone is using religion to make another person do things.
