ukdealguide Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Do you ever get bible preaching people that come to your door?Today I did, I don't have anything against it but when I (straight away said) "I'm sorry but i'm not interested" they both looked at me like i was crazy and the one women asked me "Have you always been like this" I think that was a bit rude of her to say that as everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

KidKruger Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think when people knock on your door they need to mindful that they're on YOUR property using up YOUR time and may be interrupting something YOU were busy with / enjoying. If You're not expecting a visitor, just ask through the door what they want. You shouldn't have to justify anything to uninvited strangers.

DJKillaQueen Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Jehovahs witnesses no longer come to my door after I tried having a discussion with them about creationism vs evolution. They couldn't cope with the onslaught of scientific logic I challenged them with.So my advice is to welcome discussion with them, and then give them an intellectual headache. They'll never be back! :D Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29351-bible-preaching-people-coming-to-your-door/#findComment-618400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukdealguide Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just think if you really believe in something it should not matter what others opinions are.

El Pibe Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 strictly speaking you did woody, the holy spirit being a fundamental facet of the trinitarianism, though obviously you meant it figuratively.I think ED History just likes making himself chuckle, I don't think anyone can be that pedantic, not even me.

maxxi Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I can be pedantic enough to point out that when Woody made his comment about loving jesus and AM his comment about loving someone you've never met (which woody was responding to when he mentioned the holy spirit) no one had mentioned JWs - just believers. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29351-bible-preaching-people-coming-to-your-door/#findComment-618451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 true enough, it was that damned strafer and his black books obsession that steered it that way, I'd have linked to the Absolutely Henry Honda vs JW sketch myself!

*Bob* Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't really get that annoyed by the God-Botherers particularly. Rather them (people who, whilst deluded, genuinely believe they're coming to do you a favour) than some dick in tabard from Npower lying through their teeth to get you sign-up to the all-new Dual Power Standard Custom Doublegood Green Energy Wankoff Tariff.

maxxi Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I recently had door-to-door 'Love Film' will-you-please-sign-up desperate type knocking in the freezing early evening. I listened patiently to everything he had to say, nodding and mm-hmming to all the excellent advantages and features he detailed; right up until he spelled out how reasonably priced all the available tariffs were and how one could access them. Then I told him I already had it.

Annette Curtain Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I love them coming round (specially if/when i'm only wearing a towel & socks)If i'm in the mood I can get them "to make their excuses" to leave. 35 minutes is about the best i've done, thus far."I'm ok with God, it's just organised religion & confined spaces that get me" Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29351-bible-preaching-people-coming-to-your-door/#findComment-618562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't a big problem with the God-botherers, EXCEPT WHEN THEY RING THE DOORBELL AT 9AM ON THE WEEKEND!!! The look of me, half asleep and looking like I've been dragged backwards through a hedge gets rid if them PDQ, but by then they have killed my sleep in.The muttered curses I send in their direction can't do their chances of entering the Kingdom of Heaven a lot of good.

DulwichFox Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When it comes to the Jehovahs Witnesses, Just tell them you are a Communist... They won't speak to you and will go away.

Egg on YOUR face - straight back atcha - back o' the net - BOSH.Strangely, 'no thanks, not interested' also has the same effect. Crazy, but true.

uncleglen Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Get them on the Environment- they think when 'the day' comes everyone is going to be about 30 and all the horrible stuff will go away- really? without having to recycle? And all the air becomes clean.Also, on Sundays they ask 'do you have children?' Reply- yes I do actually, and they are here with me (implication-unlike yours who are 'god' knows where).

funkymadam Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I usually tell them I'm a white witch then give them my own blessing which includes a bit of made up chanting, singing and dancing. They either still persevere to try and convert me or walk away fast!I did have a wonderful one sided conversation with one in our local high street a few weeks back. I asked him if he was happy living in fear created by Religion which was created by man based on a book mostly anecdotal in content. I asked him that if a single god existed would they not be happier with a person who was happy, kind and generous rather than a person who asked for forgiveness for no reason and lived in fear of this god's wrath? He didn't answer but was still screaming "REPENT! REPENT NOW!" as i was half a mile down the road.I've no problem with people believing in what they want, but i don't want them to tell me about it, especially at my front door or in my personal space. Even the sign i have on the door that says 'No Cold Callers' doesn't deter them!
