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.

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.

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

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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"

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.

Yeah - or, you know - tell them you're a DEVIL WORSHIPPER ha haaaa hahaha!!!!! Waaaanderfaaallll. Take THAT, J-Wit. 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.

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).

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!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
