Let me start by saying that I grew up mormon. I had two older brothers that were missionaries and was expected to go myself. I didn't want to so I played the Golden Rule card. You know, treat people the way you want them to treat you. I don't want someone coming to my house selling their religion so why would I do that to anyone else? Anyway, I would at least be civil to them. Maybe offer them a Pepsi or a beer, whatever I was drinking.

Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone but Recently we had some one come to our home and I told my fiance to answer the door. So he walked to the door in his suit and tie(on his way to work) and as soon as he did I threw a plastic bottle MGD at him and yelled, "You worthless piece Of sh*t close that fu*king Door, whose there and why are you talking to them do they look better than me, I hate you, if it wasn't for the great sex I'd leave your adulterous as*." Luckily he understood what I was doing and he just said I'm sorry we've been having some problems, but by the time he could get anymore out of his mouth they were walking away because of my yelling. Of course I had to explain to my nosy a** freaking neighbors but it was the funniest thing I've ever done on just a whim, I didn't plan it the only thing I had planned was throwing the plastic bottle and using some profanity but it just elevated and they stood there so long that I had to keep going! I was surprised that my fiance could keep a straight face!

When I was younger, my parents would do anything to avoid them, even if it meant to hide from them when they came to the door.
When I got older and moved into my own home, I would answer the door and listen to what they had to say and then I would let them have it with what I thought. We would get into heated debates, as I was raised Catholic and was married through the Catholic Church, so I had strong religious beliefs.
Now, the mormons stopped coming the first time I got into it with them and the "witnesses" came by a few more times and then stopped after they sent thier leader and he couldn't win me over.

Nothing's more annoying than that. That's far worse than a tele-marketer interupting my dinner. My home is my castle. It's my hiding place from the world. This is my place to relax.
Ding dongggg. I open the door and I see someone holding a bible.
I just look at them waiting to hear their opening line.
I already know I don't want to hear it.
Excuse me sir, my name is saint nicholas, may I come in and show you my pamphlets?
I really want to tell them what I think but I don't want to crush their outlook on life. So I just say, not today. The door closes.

I spent 7 years of my childhood around the mormon culture when I lived in Salt Lake City. But now all I have to do is go to the door, they see my pentacle necklace and black robe and they turn around for some reason. I ask them if they would like to come in for some honey meade and maybe a vigil, but they IGNORE me!! Go figure.... :(

I pretend that I am not home, but most of the time strangers don't come to my door, because of my dogs, they've scared the living daylights out of numerous people that are just walking by let alone the ones that are brave enough to come to the door. My dogs aren't mean, they just are protective of me and the house.

I generally tell them politely that I am not interested. I am civil, and will respect their beliefs and their right to them, but I don't believe in proselytization.

Pretend I'm not home and ignore the door. I don't go around banging on other people's doors.
