Who else would lose their sense of humor too?

So far today I have had THREE car loads of people who have driven past two signs at the gate of my property that clearly state ....NO EVANGELISM OR SOLICITATIONS OF ANY KIND! To my front door where there are two signs... one that states the same thing in both english and spanish and one that is a picture a Bible with a line drawn through it. They bang on my door. I go to the door and they imediately begin thier dialog about their religion... one was JW, one was some type of born agian baptist and the last one was Assembly of God. The first one ... I was polite ... told them I wasn't interested but it took me 10 minutes to get rid of them... the second one .. I just told them flat out that I am not interested... and when they presisted I asked them to leave to which they replied that I will be going to hell. The last one I opened the door... they started to talk and I slammed it shut and locked it. Okay... I Know I probably shouldn't have done that but come on.... I have signs out there and this is nuts!!!!!! Are they illiterate???? Blind???? Or is it that those signs are meant for everyone but them for some reason???? I know they are practicing their rights but so am I by posting those signs.... And since when does their right to free speech more important than my right to peacefully believe my religious beliefs on my own property??????
Do I just chalk it up to Insanity????

Barney... I live on a main highway through a sparcely populated area. I have people stop who are in trouble all the time. For all I know the person knocking on the door may need a phone (there is no cell service here either) to call and report an accident or something like that. One day a car load stopped with a man who was having a heart attack. I can not just not answer the door. It may be some life threatening situation that people need help with.

Hi Prarie Crone!

I am a Canadian and live in a small rural community, I am pretty lucky because I only get the once a month visit from the J W's. Perfectly nice people, have no intention of letting them in. I have spent a few minutes with them - but I also make it clear I am not interested.

If it is the same people I assume that they forgot about me and give them the benefit of the doubt. I say, no thanks and close the door.

You have a full blown invasion - Maybe just revamp those signs like the others have advised - and tell them that trespassers will be charged. Good luck - how awful!

I do. Unfortunately many do not. #3 came early certainly doesn't. She said quite a few nasty things about us last night. Judging by the 14 violations and 62 hate mails I recieved i would say most people don't have a sense of humor. Too bad that won't make stop trying to give them a laugh.

I don't know why people of different religions would knock on your door when you have posted signs that you do not want to be bothered. I find that a mystery.

Maybe you should ask them instead of listening to them for 10 minutes or slamming the door in their faces. Aren't you curious as to why they would they disregard your wishes when you have signs posted that you do not want to be bothered with?

I am not, but my mother was a JW and she said if any signs were posted in front of a persons house saying "no solicitations" when they went out in service they would go pass the house.

Wow.
Here's what you do. Get a sign that says "No evangelism or solicitations. violators will be prosecuted" and have a camera next to your door. Next time they knock on your door, open up, take the picture, and say that the next time you are calling a lawyer.

The answering the door naked totally works. I swear it was an accident, though.

You have every right to your beliefs. I am a believer in god who i belive created the world. Three of my friends are Wiccan my gf is a Satanists and my whole family is a beacon of different religions. I was brought up to accept that my views may be different to others but they are just that My views i have no right to implore them on to those you don't want to hear. Those who try are invading personal privacy and i believe such a thing is frowned upon not only on earth but in the place beypond this world. God gave us the right of free will to choose what we want therefore i believe you had the right to shut the door on them especially if u had signs posted. Take it from a believer i give you permission
