I've had three lots in less than a week, hammering on the door when I'm trying to write. (I can't not answer the door as I have several deliveries expected.) Different sects, with the usual daft games to get a foot in the door ("You don't know why I'm here so you don't know that you don't want to talk to me" wtf).


Is there a sign or something I can put up to put them off darkening my door? I'm getting really fed up with them.

Good one edcam, but my aim is to stop them getting as far as ringing the doorbell/hammering on the door.


I had thought maybe a sign saying 'residence of the Bishop of Southwark' (remember him? ) or perhaps 'Quaker Meeting House' (and I'm actually quite fond of the Quakers), but I, like Brendan, suspect that their general education would not have reached as far as any understanding of other faiths.


Perhaps some sort of porch installation that would cause them to turn tail in terror?

We used to regularly get Spanish speaking JW's on our doorstep. The JW's must have met my Spanish other half on some occasion she opened the door and decided to bombard her with people who speak in her tongue(s)! I never opened the door but just looked through the peephole and listened.


I don't know why they bother looking for new recruits as I always thought they believed there was only a limited space in heaven. If they've got the key then you'd think they want to keep quiet about it.

I had JWs knocking at my door for ages and I never answered. Then one day they caught me going in......all it took was to tell them Darwinian evolution happened and they've never bothered me since. True story.


I think sometimes they target you until you give them a reason not to.

They can be persistent Jah but nothing a cup of tea wont resolve

It's a different lot ever time

I sometimes give them a few moments with questions such as:

Why was there No Lifeboats on the Ark?

How much food was taken with them?

Who cleared up all the muck in the mornings.

Who bailed out the bilge water?

Did Noah wear Wellingtons?

Did he have a Telescope?

Was he a member of EDF?

We never normally get people knocking and wanting to *talk* but we always get the damn leaflets...if I'm in (rare) I chase them back down the street and let them know that the "No junk mail" sticker applies to Christian junk mail as well. Bloody litter bugs.


Have just realised I have too much time on my hands as well :D

I'm liking the idea of a witchy installation, complete with hat and broomstick. Perhaps holding a water pistol to be operated remotely B)

    • If you don't innately know from a human perspective  why it's not tasteful to ask 'what's the latest on the court case??' then I can't really explain it I guess. I suspect the family are finding the concept of the circumstances being hashed out in court and the papers quite distressing so although I'm sure they are touched by the support and outpouring of affection for Akif I don't think they want the private details to be a 'matter of local interest.' If people are desperate to keep up to date with the court case they can google it. It doesn't need to be discussed on a local forum. Just a bit of basic decorum and sensitivity really.
