As an X moron, I want no part of dealing with any of them. Besides, I don't argue well.

I would, if they would stop showing up before noon on a Sunday. Or a Saturday. Sadly, they only catch me before coffee, and I'm really not very social at that point.

Once I put a plastic Spider-Man in the front door window, they haven't knocked. About two years now.

Have you successfully had any of them drink with you or smoke? Or even to loosen their ties?

I told them to look up in the Bible that they brought:
Romans 3:28 For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law. And then
James 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
Then tell me which was right since they directly contradict each other and they go to the heart of their belief. They had no answer. After citing several other passages which I know by heart, I promised them that I would never come to their house and try to dissuade them, but once they leave their comfort zone, they have to confront reason and common sense. They left.

Maybe in your dreams. I think in all probability it's more likely to be like this:

I think you flatter yourself sir

waste of time and never during a pandemic

Nah, mostly a waste of time. I mean some may change their minds, but most are totally ignorant about what a belief really is, to them it seems a reality. That's a mighty big disconnect from reality that they totally do not understand.

My favorite upon inviting them in is making sure they're followers of Jesus. If they emphatically claim they are, then respond wonderful! Rubbing hands together, tell them that their visit is extremely timely and thank them for stopping by. 'When the doorbell rang, I was just on my way to wash my own feet'. 'Y'all have a seat whileI fetch the towels, soap and water; won't take but a couple of minutes' Maybe offer them a beer...

Well I don't believe I know enough about the bible to argue with them. I was one of those ones they got their hooks into but it wasn't because I was at a low point in my life, I was just very curious as to why they did what they did and about the bible. I talked with them for about 2 years but all I heard about was the good parts. They never showed me the not so good parts. I'm not really looking to argue with them anyway, they can believe in what they want and so can I. I also believe that when people are suppose to see or understand something they will.

They don't come to my house anymore.

I actually had a discussion with a couple of JW's once, they never came back. but now that I think about it my car is usually the last one in the driveway.

I had some friends who invited them in one time. They were drinking wine and asked them if they wanted some pie. They told them they had just finished baking it (it was chocolate cream from the store, no baking required). They didn't stay long.

Been there done that.

I harassed Mormon missionaries in Italy. Does that count?

The JW's came into my family through grandpa. The ex and I used to feed them sometimes as they came over for dinner. They were more interested in her I believe because since the divorce I see them very seldom.

I have before. I had one lady who came back several times, and she brought her husband a couple of times as well. They were pleasant, but they got nowhere on their religion stuff. Maybe in the future I will reverse proselytize.

Mormons don't really come round here, if I see them I always say hi...JWs are pretty low key too. In recent years they have been advised against door knocking. My friends up the road are JoWits and they are lovely

Since 1980 there has been a brass plaque by my door where others have a doorbell. It reads, "Did you call first? It is the polite thing to do."

In the French Quarter home, there was a Hot Tub in the kitchen - how it got there is a different story.

One night, I was marinating the catch of the day in the Hot Tub. I had properly prepared the catch with a few glasses of fine wine and Flounder stuffed with lump Crab meat. My estimate was that it would be ready for consumption after 15 minutes of simmering at 102ºF.

That is when there was frantic knocking on the door. With the Plaque in plain sight the thought went through my mind that the old guy next door had a heart attack or the building was on fire and the FD was trying to rescue us, so, with much anguish, I got out of the tub, threw on a terrycloth robe and opened the door.

There stood some Holy-Joe women with some kids, I shut the door, lost the robe and returned to the Catch of the day. The snap-lock on the door did not catch, the Ho-Jos pushed the door open and walked in.

They came right in and started talking, I told them, "This is a cooking class, not sex education." That is when one of the kids noticed the Catch's boobs floating in the bubbles and said, "that lady is necked."

They left in a hurry, did not bother closing the door, so I had to get out of the tub and close it, this time, I flipped the deadbolt.

I engage to try and understand why they do what they do. I don't know all the answers only how their actions affect others. Not only at my door but in the life

I have before, but I didn't make wagers with them. That's excellent.

Don’t think I’ve ever let any in … as it’s said, most people who break into a house have been inside before.. But I’ll talk till they drop. It’s a blast! They’ll stand there with ‘a book,’ proclaiming all knowledge lies within … I’ll stand there with decades of cutting edge science and eons of history.. They lose

Lol funny
