Put them to work around your place...
"Hey, I'd love to hear what you have to say, but I have all this yard work that needs to be done. If you want to help, you're welcome to talk while you work."

man, it's gotta be awesome being an old fart. Appeal towards pleasant religious types, guilt them into helping out the elderly, doing their good deed while proselytizing.

All the while, you get to sit in your chair, outside in the shade, sipping on tea and whiskey, you nodding in short agreement as they prattle on, all the while your hearing aid is turned off, enjoying the pleasant air and the dull buzz of silence as your yard work is done before your eyes.

I can't wait for that.

4 wives + OP = 5 people

You want the mormons to stand there and watch in the corner or something? Work the camera?

yeah, man. If they don't agree to the group participation, just tell them:

"That's cool, man. Hey! You could operate the camera! Our normal guy is out doing a blood test, and we need to get this video online by 2:30. You could really help us out, bro!"

My neighbor did something similar to a couple of Mormons who were in the area selling alarm systems. He had them help a neighbor change a faucet while they prattled on about the wonders of their ADT alarm system...when they were through, he told them "No thanks," and sent them on their way.

Is it always the same person/ group of people? If so, just politely ask them not to come by again.

They were different group of people each time.

They only knocked on my door once. Other instances happened when I was walking back home from college.. while I was waiting to cross the street.. they just stood beside me and started asking questions.

This is not the first time it happened, but it is getting more and more annoying.

Why are you telling us? Tell them.

Ohh.. I told them.. but they were persistent.

where do you live? is there an anti-gay measure, possibly gay marriage initiative coming up in your state this year?

A college town in Southern IL.. there is not much going on in here.. except anti war movements and bar fights.

Get them to do that shot where it's from behind and 90% of the frame is your balls. I love when people make that scene go on for 5 god damn minutes. Your mormon friends will love filming it.

What's with people on ATOT who have such a hard time say "thanks but no" and closing the door?

I like to give a good hearty laugh, let them know they're bs isn't going to fly here, and they leave peacefully.

The key is to make an impression to the extent where they don't want to return. When you laugh at them after opening the door, that seems to do the trick. It's never the same people the next time. I get a visit ~once a year.

why so two-faced?

they're all "religiotards" in 98% of your posts, but you'd be kind and polite to them if they are bothering you?

I don't get it either. My gf was saying she has a hard time ending phone calls. I just say "I'll talk to you later buddy" and hang up.

If I were in australia or something I would call him mate. Later mate! *click*

If a man in a suit comes to my door it better be a matter of national security, otherwise the waste of time will be met with sly humor and jokes they won't necessarily get right away.

Just answer the door with a shotgun in your hand...they'll get the message and will spread the word that you're a heathen and not worthy of the message.

Just tell them that you have a relative that is a member, and that you prefer to discuss any questions with them and to please put your address on the do not call list. In my xp, this always works for any religion.

I never get these fun visitors.
Offer them a drink, put roofies in their drink, send them on their way.


What's the time line for that anyway? If they fell asleep on the neighbor's lawn because it takes a while to kick in, that would be funny as hell. If they fell asleep in my house, that would totally suck.

My mom tried to teach me how to sew but I was never any good at it. They would probably die if I tried that.

Ok I have an awesome idea. Using corn starch and some food coloring, make a batch of fake blood. Roofie your mormon visitors. Pull them onto the lawn, put fake blood on both of their hands, and place a dull knife maybe 3 feet away. When they wake up, they won't know wtf just happened
