Religious organisation knocking on my door

[SkellyWoozle]

Not bad people,but I feel sorry for the young ones,they go away and are only allowed minimal contact with their families (I've seen guy that couldnt be older than 16).

 

Not bad people - just very misguided.

Well, who am I to judge other peoples beliefs and way of life? As long as they do no harm to others, I have no problem with them. I might not understand it,but it is their way of life and I have no authority to say who'a right and who's wrong.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested, please ask your group to stop contacting me. Thank You."

 

^ This works well for me. Simple, direct, kind.

This happen to a friend on mines father. He handled it in a hilarious manner.

 

It requires some set up before hand. First, find some creepy chanting music you can have on hand. Then, find some kind of really ridiculous outfit (purple dinosaur boxers and cowboy hat for example), next set up some electronic candles and find some rubber chickens.

 

Next time they knock answer the door in your outrageous outfit, holding a rubber chicken, with chanting in the background and the glow of candle light.

 

Often my friends dad did this the people never came back.

 

I forgot!!

Oh that is awesome.

 

With my friends dad, he kept being poliet, saying he wasn't interested, please take him off the list etc and it just didn't work. They kept coming back again and again which is why he took it to this level.

 

I have a friend who is an ex JW and based on what she has told me they are not allowed to interact with people who have left the religion (they will even shun their own kids if they choose to leave). OP, you could trying saying you are an apostate and just closing the door.
