I like when those religious nutjobs come by, I have so much fun with it. I aggressively offer them alcohol (like pour shots and crack beers and put it in front of them) which is usually a hoot with the religious types that go door to door. They usually come in twos, so it’s fun to create personal drama in your head about them and then just declare it openly to them. (I am surprised they let you work so closely with Matt, with you know… The temptations and all😉).

I used to even have props for some gags… But for some reason I haven’t seen them in a year or more.

At least for the mormons and jehovah’s witnesses, the point of them going door-to-door isn’t to convert you. It’s to solidify in their minds that the ‘other’ is hateful and vile. Your shenanigans are funny, but just building another wall for another pair of fools for their little prison designed by the people at the top.

When they Knock on my door they usually catch me while I am at home doing the dishes/cleaning up my mess of a kitchen or doing a weeks worth of laundary etc. In that case I tell them you have to options:

a) go away and probably not catch me again

b) come inside and help me with whatever I am doing at the moment

Let me tell you you’ll never get 2 people helping you with your kitchen this cheap. The last ones stayed for 3 hours after which my kitchen was spotless. Somehow they didn’t want to stick arround for some more discussion and cleaning the bathrooms…Anyways afterwards I offered them a save retreat at my adress if they ever wanted to escape their cult. No regrets, looking forward for the next knock on the door.

    To be honest, I also didn’t expect it to work. Glad it did.

    I don’t even hate the conversation that much, I just hate standing in my doorway for a half hour having the convo.

  Wait. Actually.
  
  This is brilliant. Jees. I hope I have a couple of these guys show up. I need so much help organizing my house it overwhelms everyone I know, but cult members seeking cult members sound like an excellent opportunity if all I have to pay is the wear and tear on my social battery.

Instead of being offensive, I attempt to deprogram or at least place doubt in their minds. They can talk about their religion as long as I can talk about science and morality. Sadly, I can never get them to come back for a second visit (even if they commit to an appointment time).

I remember the Summer a few years ago, I was preparing a liver stew. Because of the heat, I was only wearing a rubber apron. While I was listening to Rotting Christ, Behemoth and some other metal, when the doorbell rang. I open, still with my hands, the knife and the apron full of blood. I think they were these Jehovah guys, but they left quickly and to this day I have not seen them again. I don’t know what happened, I couldn’t say more than a Hello

I just tell them I’m not interested politely and then they leave. why are you going so hard?

no need to be a disrespectful ass. even if you hate religion.
