I ask them for their address. when they ask why, I tell them that I plan to go to their house and annoy them. That usually works.

We don't get many solicitors at the door, but we do get the ocassional phone call solicitor. As soon as I realize it is a spam call I just give the phone to my 7 year old daughter. She loves talking to them.

I got some hippie girl a few years ago who wanted me to sign a petition to ban coal, nuclear, and natural gas power generation.
I think she was almost in tears when I was done with her. I don't have much patience for ignorance.

One of my favorite stories from a good friend. I've posted it before but it's funny enough for 2x.
JW's knock on his door, he answers. JW, We have good news for you. Paul, I won the lottery? JW, No, it's about Jesus! Paul, Jesus won the lottery? JW, No, it;s not about gambling. Paul, I'm not interested, Closes door.

If I have the time, I invite them to discuss their ideas. After about 5 minutes of one of my rants they never show up again. I really would like a visit from a JW. Makes for good holiday fun...

Why are Catholics coming to your door - that's not normal.

I live within walking distance of a Morman church, so I see the young missionaries on bikes and on foot almost every day. They have not knocked on my door for over fifteen years. The secret to my success? I invited them in one day. Made them lunch. Had a very serious conversation about the Morman religion, and everything that is wrong with it. Backed it all up by giving them a copy of A Reply to a Morman that I keep on hand for just such occasions. Great little pamphlet. I'll never know, but maybe it actually had an affect on at least one of them. Must have had an affect on something; like I said, I see them all the time and they never stop at my house. Mission accomplished; time well spent. Of course that only takes care of one group; I'm still working on the rest.

I think the Mormons are pretty good about respecting your wishes. If you instruct them to never return they will take your address off their visit list. My wife is Jack-Mormon (drinks wine & coffee, loves the appropriate F-bomb now and then, does not attend church, thinks J.S. was whack) so the missionaries come by once every six months to see if her mind has changed. Ha-ha sorry guys.
The JW hang out by the local Starbucks with *free* copies of the Watchtower. I've never been rude to them and instead politely shut them down. They know me now and don't approach. |

I've resolved this quite nicely....
A wrought iron fence, with spikes... And a nice thorny bush growing around it. The fence is pretty, doesn't bother the neighbors, who know they can use the side door. The unwanted visitors apparently don't feel comfortable enough to open the gate and trespass... Funy how an (unlocked) gate restores boundaries ;-) |

Just a thought: maybe delete the door bell and door knocker, if installed. If you don't hear them ring the doorbell or knock, you're less likely to answer.

I just had a wonderful awful idea... suppose you installed a sprinkler outside over your door with a solenoid valve connected to a button inside the house?
Merry Christmas!

The last time a JW came to my house, I was in the driveway washing my car. After a few seconds of his sales pitch,I was ready to chase the guy away. He looked over and noticed the Scuba flag on the back of my Bronco. Next thing you know, we had a two hour conversation, talking about different dive sites and our diving experiences. When were done, he handed me a copy of the Watchtower and said "Hey if you get a chance, flip through this". Then he just left. He was actually pretty cool.
