DAMN them!! I would have then chased them down the street, screaming

They haven't come back.

A caver friend of mine will answer the door stark naked, not someone you want to see naked either.

My Brother in Law got converted a few years ago... It is great, I don't have to buy any of his kids birthday or Christmas presents.

Just ask them:"Are you a mormon?"

do you guys know how to tell them apart? mormons wear black slacks and jw's wear khakis.

I had a tech that worked for me that was an elder with the JW's. He told me a little secret, tell them when the come to the door that you are dis-communicated. They cannot talk to you at all. They will turn around and walk away.

Yeah, that is a good approach also... and cite Galations 2:21... which says in so many words what you said above...

I did that once and just looked at them... they got squirmy and left...

Something I should say here: I do not enjoy intimidating folks... However when someone has an agenda they want to push on me... well then to me they have set the tone of 'game on'... I generally let them set the intensity of the 'game'... yet keep them off-base with questions.

Usually they go away.

I think more of that happens to do with making a statement that makes no reasonable sense. Even in this business it is hard to discuss or argue with nonsense.

Anyhow, not enough time to mess with them now... I just tell them I am happy at my church and they say Praise God and go on.

It may be having a beer with you is incongruous with their purpose for being at your door. Same thing with staying and arguing, time is better spent elsewhere.

Possibly you are confusing them with Mormons?

I used to quiz them on their faith at the door for a while... usually they would 'need to go' when they realized they did not know the Bible as well as they thought they did. If they want to try to hard sell me... they had better well know their 'product' better than I do...

The Jahovah Witness

There was a knock on the door this morning. I opened it to find a young man standing there who said: "I'm aJehovah's Witness."

I said "Come in and sit down, what do you want to talk about?"

He said, "Beats the **** out of me, I've never gotten this far before."
