Early in the morning, or later in the day, I am just not interested! I have a glass door for a reason, and my dog alerts me to someone being in the driveway. Those people aren't welcome in or near my home. If I want the religious information, I will seek it out, I don't appreciate people soliciting me. I find it rude!

After my dog gave a good round of barking, I would tell them I am busy now and close the door. The less conversation, the better.
If you don't have a dog, and you are alone, I wouldn't answer the door.
Door to Door evangelists are not as common as they used to be. There are just too many weirdos out there. Especially if someone comes knocking on your door early in the morning, or late at night.
It would make sense to write down their car license plate- if they came by car.

This happen back in June, Two guys knocked on my door. They started to talk about church. I did not say a word, I shut the door and locked it.
Then today, I was on the computer. I was still wearing my short that I sleep. Some ppl came to my Door and I did not answer it.

Early in the morning? I very rudely tell them to get the hell off my property and do not come back uninvited again. And then shut the door. If it is at a reasonable hour, I tell them I'm not interested, that I have my religion, and shut the door.

I don't answer the door. I don't accept drop in guests. My children always let me know when they are going to come over. I don't need to answer the door because they have keys.
It isn't wise for a woman who lives alone to open a door to an unknown. The only time I do is when the granddaughter is here and has ordered pizza. She's 6' tall and weighs about 200 lb. so there is no chance anyone will bother us.

Well, if someone were to knock on my door early in the morning, chances are I wouldn't hear it, but if I did, I would look out my peephole and if it looked like they had a proselytizing motive in mind, I would simply not answer. No harm no foul.

do no longer hear to all the unfavorable solutions in right here. they do no longer understand or have on no account tried enjoying Ouija board to journey what it may do to you. I had that have and it only delivered evil spirits to me and my cousin, we could no longer consume, sleep or be on my own for 2 minutes because of the fact we experience that something is approximately to happen to us if we've been separated. What you mustn't do strengthen into burn the board yet atleast do exactly away with it. Ask a clergyman to bless you and your buddy and additionally your house/residing house. My uncle is somekind of a witch physician and he's the only which helped to do away with the undesirable spirit. He sees and feels undesirable and strong spirits and that i strengthen into fortunate to have him for the period of that component, he additionally has his very own ghost which could shield him from undesirable spirits and that i think of it strengthen into his ghost that helped us. Now, we haven't any strange difficulty bothering us anymore.

I always say the same thing, regardless of the hour: "No thank you." Then shut the door before they can say anything else. Politeness is a good thing. But there's no reason to linger.

I usually am very polite and say something along the lines of, "I'm not in the market for a new belief system. Thanks."
If I'm in a bad mood or they actually wake me up, I say "No, I will not join your cult. There's a no solicitation sign. Get off my property."

I never answer the door if it's not convenient or if I'm not expecting anyone. The etiquette error lies with people who are dropping by unannounced.
