What do you do when they knock on your door?
Do you hide? Do you tell them you are not interested or do you engage with them? What do you do? |

I do welcome them each time they check on me because they always come up with Interesting and vital points.

Personally unless I know you, and know your coming around, then I don't open my door, full stop
An old acquaintance told me that if they came around, he would open the door, smile and say As-salāmu ʿalaykum, and then welcome them in He used to chuckle as he described how they looked horrified, and went away, after deciding not to come in He was not a Muslim |

For me, it's always the same.
I answer the door, they say "We'd like for you to become a Jehovah's Witness!" I say "Sorry, I didn't see the accident." |

I don't understand why they were horrified? Are they not trying to convert everybody? |

My brother and sister in law were in their religion for a decade. They are trained to ask a question to engage you in conversation. |

The last time they came to my house, I greeted them in my boxers and I have seen them since
|

I have answered the door to them in the past but have to say, if I knew it was them, I wouldn't have answered.
I don't let them speak very much but just tell them that my beliefs do not match theirs and it never will. I'm polite but firm with them. |

If you accept one of their booklets, they are trained to make a repeat visit to discuss it with you. |

They only came to my door once, a few months after I moved to this area and they haven't returned.........yet. It was less than a year ago |

Last time was a few years ago.
I greeted them like they were old friends. We stood on the porch and talked about their religion and I kept asking questions. Then some old guy walked up, gave the women a dirty look and ushered them away. I followed them while asking them to come back. As they moved faster on their way I got louder and louder till they turned the corner. Sadly, they haven't been back...I wasn't finished. |

I inform the younger one that the book that they hold so sacred was written by an ex defence atorney with no previous history or knowledge of religion, some time in the 1940s.
and then look at the older one and wait. they go. and dont come again. You can only do it once per house though. no fun.. :( |
