...a few months ago a couple came to the door at 8:30AM and I was trying to be polite and listened to what they had to say. Now, they keep coming to my door to try and "talk about God and the Bible" with me. The first couple of times they came back I wasn't home and they left notes. The last time (this morning) they came - and their were 4 of them, so I didn't answer the door. I don't want to be rude, but how do you tell them to leave you alone? Should I just tell them I'm not interested?

Yes, we've been harassed by them also. Do call your local non-emergency police number for the correct info on their right to come to your door. Where I live they don't constitute solicitors so they are exempt from some of those laws mentioned by others. We have put up NO TRESPASSING signs. And they have to obey that sign. A friend thought they could get rid of them by saying oh I'm a devil worshiper LOL it made them even more into saving him. Don't feel guilty just say Don't come back here again and close the door. Don't let them speak. Or you will be engaged in a debate.

I don't normaly have a problem with these groups until they cause a safety issue. I am a horse trainer and was at a farm I used to work at and was in a round pen with an absoluetly psyco saddlebred horse. The horse had been abused by a previous owner and that's why it was sent to me for correction and retraining. Well this was one of our first sessions and needless to say this horse was trying it's best to kill me or itself to get out of that pen due to fear. Well these people pull up the well marked "private driveway" with no tresspassing signs and get out of their van and come over to the pen. It's is very obvious that I have my hands full, and am not in a possition to listen let alone talk to them. Not knowing who they were or what they wanted I shouted over my sholder "can I help you?" They started in on their little spill about everything. I kept trying to politely interupt them and tell them that it was not a good time, but that was not working. I got to the point that I was about to just turn the horse loose on them when someone else from the farm showed up and they flocked to them. Usually I just tell them that I have a church home and am very happy in my faith, but that time nothing was stoping these people. I'm all for spreading your faith, but that just really crossed the line.

A few months ago some woman came to my door and my husband answered it. She gave him some religious pamphlet. I later read through it and it talked about how homosexuality is wrong and a bunch of other stuff. I get highly irritated when people try to shove their beliefs and religion down my throat. I think it's extremely rude when they come to your home to do this. I don't go to their house and pester them. Maybe I'll start doing that and see how they like it. I'm going to find out where they live and go and start banging on their doors and shoving pamphlets on gay rights and anything else they're opposed to in their faces.

I live and deal with a lot of Mormons. They are nice people, but are very persistent. Usually, if you tell them fairly sternly to leave you alone, they will.
If that fails, you could always have a nasty dvd available to put in your dvd player. Then when they come to the door, pop it in, turn it up, and answer the door. That might work.
I suggest you just tell them that you are not at all interested, and they are wasting your time. If they don't leave you alone, threaten to report them for harassing you.

I have only had problems with Jehovah's Witnesses....after a couple of times of being polite and listening and reading their magazines, they came to the door and asked (not very nicely) if I wanted to PAY for my reading material(meaning the magazines they gave me) luckily I had them sitting on a bookshelf right next to the door..as calmly as I could I handed her the stack of magazines and told her to give them to someone else who would want them AND pay for them!!! Well from there on out I have politely said, "No, Thanks" when they come to the door.

They are probably Jehovah's Witnesses. You can tell them not to come anymore. I had a problem with that, they had a little girl withthem, like 7 years old and she did all the talking! So I couldn't be rude. Once you listen just one time they do not give up! Just politely tell them not to come back.
Or start telling them about your religion and invite them to YOUR church
They also believe that only a certain number are going to make it to heaven, tell them you think the list is full and there simply isnt room for you to join or that if you join it will bump one of THEM off the list!

Just tell them that you are not interested in discussing religion. Then say "Thanks for dropping by" and then simply close the door. These folks are good intentioned and only want to spread the word as they see it and are very aggressive at it. They have never been known to cause physical harm or property damage, so you'll be safe in just closing the door.

Before I moved I had a JW that came to my door regularly. He was a kind and sweet older man who took notice of things around the house and asked after our health, gardening and home improvements. I always had a short chat with him and accepted his books, not that I would ever consider changing beliefs. He was just a regular pleasant chat.

They are required to get permits from the local police now before they go door to door. And I thought they had to follow the same rules as telemarkers. They aren't allowed back unless you invite them back, I would call the police and report this behavior, it is very suspious. Also report them to the Mormon headquarters I don't think they would like their people stalking and harassing you.

Yes. I don't think it's their right to come to MY house and force their religion on me. Obviously I don't want to learn about it or I would go to THEIR house and ask them about it. I had a group of women come to my door one morning. I politely told them that I needed to get ready for work. They stood there and kept asking me questions, even though they knew I had to leave. I then went to close the door and one of them put their hand up to block the door. I was severely tempted to either let the dog out (not that he would have done anything but they don't know that) or just slam the door as hard as I could, sorry if your finger got caught.
Do you see me going to their house and discussing my religion (or lack of one) to them? No.
