How many "no thank you"s does it take to get a Christian evangelist off your property?

Today was 3, followed by "have a nice day" and shutting the door in the person's face. Last month was 7 followed by "I've told you I'm not interested, now please leave."

    Maybe because I'm a woman, I have never answered my door unless I know who's on the other side. I do that for safety. I usually go to the closed window, and yell that I don't open the door.

    I think that you should start doing that.

    I give 'em two. If that's not enough, I then calmly take the hot pink super soaker we have by the door to keep a certain mean neighbor cat off of our property and take aim while yelling "Heathen baptism!" and giving the girliest battle cry ever heard in the history of girlie battle cries.

    I should have chased the last one a bit. They could have used some exercise.

    I've never had to ask.

    For some reason, if I answer the door naked, or with leftist literature and a gun cleaning rod in my hand, they just take off on their own, without a word.

    (Scratches head) I don't really understand why.

    Tell them they are trespassing and call the police. Don't keep on being ever so polite to people who are not respecting your needs. Tell them one time a very firm no and they need to leave immediately. If they persist, get your phone in your hand and tell them your are ready to dial the police. And tell them they are never to come back, and if they do, it is trespassing, and no warnings will be given.

    Christian must be alright then and extremely nice...

    Telemarketers on the other hand, calling during dinner time!

    1. "No thanks."

    2. "No."

    3. "Please leave now."

    4. "Do you require police assistance?"

    I will use two or three languages each, just in case the evangelist does not understand. But if the visitors are Forn Sed, I invite them inside for a few beers.

    Personally, I like to hang around until the first warning shot.

    Try answering the door in your underpants with a cold brew in one hand and a playboy in the other. I think they will get the message.

    14.75, but only if you interrupt your 15th "no thank you" with a swift roundhouse to the missionary's gut. I find allowing my creativity free reign accomplishes the task faster, a good black mass will usually keep you missionary-free for a year. It's like RAID for proselytizers.

    That relies upon, do you have demons? LOL . Sorry i could not withstand. confident! that must be sufficient and actually greater many this is yet you do get some who do not take no for an answer. They see me (i'm needless to say Jewish) and that they yell issues at me approximately how i will hell etc. this is somewhat annoying. I understand this is a factor of Christianity and so i don't recommendations them coming and attempting to evangelize to me yet whilst they don't take no for an answer, i'm getting aggravated and in the event that they simply refuse to pass away, i will get impolite. i think of it could in many situations border on harrassment. My opinion is the 1st time they attempt they're attempting to "help me" yet as quickly as I say i don't elect "help", they slip into the class of harrassment.
