Had a couple knocking on my door which I recklessly opened as I'd been waiting for my delivery noodles.

The Korean guy didn't say anything but the cute girl perked up at seeing whitey.

Her:Ooooooohhhhhhhh...!!!
Me:(frowning)What?
Her:We're not Jehovas..
Me:Good.What do you want?
Her:We're Christians....(meaning,we're OK)
Me:I don't care.What do you want?
Her:We have a questionnaire.We're from Mission School.
Me:I'm busy.
Her:It's just 8 questions....(puppydog expression)
Me:Bye(Close door)
Man:Awkward giggle
Her:Awwwwww......

I don't know.Got me thinking.

If you want to reach the masses,lose the childish behaviour,sex it up and bring some noodles.Lose the guy too.

Anyhoo,their effort was pretty poor.

What would it take for you to move the pizza boxes,porn and bottles of soj' off the couch and invite them in for a chat and fill out their questionnaire?

What would it take? Nothing short of a blow job. And even then, it would depend on various factors. Essentially, I'd rather let a homeless drunk in my house than a door-to-door religion salesperson.

If I don't know who it is, I don't open the door. Period. I know someone who did this, and the guy entered her apt. and slashed her up (this happened in Korea). If they stand out there knocking and knocking, I'll consider calling security. I don't have any tolerance for door-to-door soliciting.

Just last week I had some knocking and knocking (it was a food delivery guy). I hadn't ordered food. Sure, it was probably just a mistake, but I don't want to be naive enough to fall for any tricks.

The missionary should be female, young, and naked. Because once you join your religion, you'll probably be forbidden from having sex anymore.

i have heard about God, i have made my own decisions, I am happy with them. i don't need strangers trying to force THEIR IDEAS down my throat. Mail me something, don't knock on my door when I'm trying to relax. AND when i smile and say 'oh thank you but I am not interested' that is a polite way of saying 'go away' take the hint.

god doesn't exist.

therefore i assume anyone who's knocking on my door to talk about god also doesn't exist. because people with that little common sense that they'd believe in something that doesn't exist... they don't exist, do they?

i just chalk it up to voices in my head. which is what caused religion to begin with. i choose to ignore it rather than run with it and get mad paid.

There is a quick and easy solution to this problem.

When I first moved in to my house I used to have jehova's witnesses and religion type people knocking on my door all the time. I finally got tired of it and decided I would just let my dog answer the door.

After they met BellaDonna I haven't had a solicitation since And I've been here over a year.(aside from people sticking all types of BS ads on my door)

We've had people force their way into our apartment when my wife was there on her own. Despite repeatedly and politely telling these missionaries that she is not of the Christian faith, they would use foot-in-the-door tactics and on one occasion, simply walked in when the door was ajar. I asked my wife to get the phone number of this first group and called them, informing them I would shoot them in the kneecaps should they force entry into my house again. This lot have never returned.
