I think the Mormons were just at me door.

[RevolutionaryActs]

I didn't answer the door because I didn't hear the knock because I'm blaring 'Southern Hospitality' by Ludacris.. Oh did I mention my window is open and I'm sure said Mormons heard the song. :rofl:

1. it must be "missionary" season

they were at my door at 9:00 am. We were still in bed. I looked out the window, and saw the two young women (probably all of 17 or 18) with their bags filled with pamphlets. It's the second team in 2 weeks. I didn't answer the door even though the car was in the driveway and my son's SO's car was parked out front. I believe that I am not obligated to open the door or answer the phone if I don't want to....and I wasn't going to answer the door in my boxers & tank top pjs....but...on hind sight, maybe I should have. It might have scared them off! :wow:

2. Nah, it only works if you're naked.

:P



A couple of months ago I was shocked when two little girls (about 6 and 10) came to my with pamphlets. As they were leaving, I poked my head outside, I couldn't see one adult in site. :o

3. you haven't seen me in PJs

4. I remember my mother making us kids hide

when the Jehovah's Witnesses would come around. "Don't let them see you!!" was the command given.

My football playing punker friend Russ had a different approach. Before I start, let me assure you Russ was not a racist, he just used false racism to an advantage - and I'm not saying it was right.

Anyhow, Russ invited the nice folks into his place, and listened politely. After about 10 minutes, they handed him the brochure (you know, I think it is called The Watchtower). Well, he looked the cover over, got a very angry look on his face, pointed to the cover and demanded "Whats this!" There was a picture of group of people frolicking in a meadow. Of or two of them were folks of color.

"Those are people in Heaven" they explained. "What the hell, how could they be there if that is Heaven" he shot back, and continued his tirade. They never returned to his place again.

The more I think about it the more wrong Russ's actions appear, even if it was done in a good cause - banishing religious whack jobs from your residence.

6. That is so wrong.... and yet I giggled.

Does that make me a bad person? :o

[IndyBob]

9. Wrong yes, and I could never do it

but you had to know Russ. A punk rocking engineer, who kept a 5 foot orange Buddha in his living room. Not once in three years of working (and partying) with him did he do anything else to make me feel he was a racist.

8. While walking uphill on a narrow sidewalk next to a hedge,

my husband, son and I went into single file to let a couple walking toward us pass by. As the woman swept by me she held a "WatchTower" out and said, "would you like to find out how you can have eternal life?". I replied, "One life is enough for me, thanks." ;)

5. My dear Rev_Acts!

Good for you, not answering the door!

We have an intercom........and we use it........

Especially when I am upstairs, it is such a helpful thing!

:hi:

7. Hiya Peggy!

I think it's a good thing I didn't answer the door, I haven't been feeling well and so I'm cranky, so things probably wouldn't have ended well. :crazy:

10. I always used to

use the "My dog doesn't like strangers" excuse. Now, keep in mind, my old dogs were Golden Retreivers. The male could care less if anyone was at the door (and, when he was older, he was deaf and didn't know anyone had knocked or rung the bell anyway), and ignored them. Molly, the female, would let out a volley of barks that sounded quite ferocious (it was really her "Oh goody! People are here! Let them in! We must become intsant best friends" bark). So, when I'd open the door, the people (mormons, JW's, door to door sales/survey people) would already look a bit apprehensive. I'd hold Molly, the 90lb Golden's, collar (while she was struggling to go out and subdue their feet by flopping on them and rolling over) and act like I was struggling to keep her in the house and prevent her from attacking them. I say "I can't talk, my dog hates strangers" and 95% of the time, the people would look relieved and tell me to have a nice day as they hurried down the steps.

Lila, my current dog, is good for this too, as she is a black lab and quite intimidating to non-dog people.

Of course, I could always hang the demon-dog picture in my door window with this
