Would that work with evangelists?

I doubt it. I never had to say a thing. Just tell door-to-door types
you're not interested while you are closing the door. Those of us who
do go around on occasion looking for people who are interested in
finding a church will appreciate it.

Put an ad in the yellow pages and leave us alone! Anybody who wants to
find a church can easily find one without your help.


A lot of people appreciate door-to-door visits from local churches;
otherwise the churches would have stopped making them long ago. It's an
old-fashioned welcome-to-the-community thing. I suppose next you'll want
to
get rid of Girl Scout cookie selling.


This is actually quite true, and not just for those new to the
neighborhood, but for the homebound and the elderly.

Shrug..but it is irritating to get a knock on the door on Saturday
afternoon while Im knocking off a piece of ass, or enjoying a good book
and a dump, sitting on the toilet..only to find a Watchtower being waved
in my face.

They are generally pleasant though and go away when asked.

Peepholes are a great help. Unless it is a face I know or a uniform, the
door usually doesn't get opened. Fer damn sure it doesn't get opened for
shiny young faces, white shirts, and ties. They go away eventually.
