My aunt in her early 80's had a pair come to her door. She politely told them if their religion were any good they wouldn't have to peddle it door to door...They never bothered her again. I know an old boy that got rid of them with, "the US postal service would save a lot of money if they'd let you azzholes deliver the mail." (slam door)

When she would have her friends over to my brother house , he would stay down stairs , watching TV, Drinking Beer and Smoking a Joint. She would never let any of them go down to the TV room in the basement when he was home .

Used to deal w/them some if I wasn't busy, gradually getting their "more knowing" reps. Finally got tired of the game and put 2 signs up on the path to my main house. Top one: NO SOLICITING Under it: If you can't read and understand, or despise rightful authority, you have nothing of value to say about The Bible, anyway." Haven't seen them, since.

Had a pile of those stupid [bleep] show up here ONE time about 9 years ago, IIRC they handed me a small paper that said "watchtower" on it. I took the paper over to the fence and fed it to my donkey, turned to them and ask, 'any questions'? Havent seen hide nor hair since. Gunner

In my youth I had a couple of large parrots. One was a Moluccan Cockatoo - actually quite friendly, once she got to know you. Otherwise, if she met a stranger, she'd spread the wings and hiss. One day the doorbell rang and I thought it was my girlfriend. It was a JW. I had the bird on my shoulder. The JW never said anything, he just turned and ran. I guess the hawk-sized bird on my shoulder, spreading its wings and hissing, must have rather un-nerved him. Lots of trouble to keep, but large parrots are occasionally useful.

Had two women show up with their pamphlets, listened to them for a bit and then turned the conversation to other things. They would come by every couple of weeks, no problem usually just talk about the weather or such for 5 mins or so.
One day showed the two showed along with a couple of guys, a day I was loading out for a weekend shoot, several rifle cases, a handgun case and "hey, would you hand me those two ammo boxes?", was the very last I ever saw of those folks.
Never saw any reason to be less then cordial, now a door to door salesman ended up getting his tail literally kicked off my property, but that was in response to his not being respectful.
No fear, no doubt, all in, balls out.

They use to work me weekly. I had tried to be polite, but given their persistence, they caught me in the wrong mood. That day I asked them to wait a moment. I returned with paper and pencil. I told them they had caught me at a bad time, but if they'd just give me their name and address, I'd stop by their house when I felt like it and we could talk about a topic of my choosing. They went into immediate conference. Result was they didn't think they should do that, but I was welcome at their church. I told them I didn't find it very Christian to expect something of someone you were not willing to do yourself. Never heard from them again.

At the doctors office, someone used to leave Watchtower magazines. I'd pull out my pen and write "www.silentlambs.org" on the cover. That site is about sexual predators who go door to door. You see, the JW's will not report rapists in their organization.

I did the same as Richard Austin." Give me your address and I'll stop by sometime, probably right after the bar closes." They declined.
