    Actually, this is exactly what I tell them also...."We have our onw beliefs and I will not accept any literature" If they are insistent, I tell them
    "If you really want to leave it here go ahead, but it'll be in the trash before you're out of the yard"

    I've actually talked to quite a few of them, I think it surprised Chazsbetterhalf at first.

    They're doing what their belief compels them to do.

    Although I'll admit to running off more than a few in my younger years.

    "I always heard that answering the door naked will keep the jehovahs away." ... If I did that, they'd prolly have a heart attack... :whistle:

    All I meant was that the Jews don’t come around bothering us and I respect them for that! That and I’m a big supporter of Israel. :thumbs:

    My Father in law ( die hard Baptist). Would get into debates with them and tell them why their beliefs were wrong.:)
    He would do the same to my Catholic daughter in law also.

    In my early 20s when I bought my first place about half the neighbors were pamphlet peddlers. They always sent peddlers from another town to my place.
    One Friday night I threw one hell of a shindig . There were beer cans and liquor handles everywhere. Saturday morning door bell rang several times and I had to pull a body away from the front door to open it in nothing but my boxers. First thing outta their mouth was “ looks like you had a good time last night” as the body awoke and threw empty cans at me rolling down the front steps in front of them. I said dam strait we did ,, did Mark up the road send ya down ,, shoulda been here,,,,, you gotta # so I can invite ya next time???? Woman and younger girl made their way back to the car. Pretty sure I was getting a rebellious stink eye from the girl as she backed away from the door.
    Last time I had peddlers on my door step and that was almost 30 years ago.
