We don't get rid of the Mormon missionaries when they come to the door LOL, but all you really have to do is say "No thank you, I'm really not interested." If it bothers you, I'd hang a sign on your door that *specifically* says "No Religious Missionaries" or something like that.
We live in a small town, and we really don't get many people knocking on our door that we don't know - salesmen and whatnot are once in a blue moon. So we usually just take the paper or whatever and off they go. |
Before I had the sign, that's what I did say. I really believe they know what the word means but choose to ignore it, and lie about it. I believe its wrong for them to say, they aren't solicitors. To solicit means to "approach with a request or plea", isn't that what they are doing? I really don't think I should have to put up a sign for every group, and one could haggle over the term "missionary", if one wanted to. Besides, there are not that many ready made signs, and I don't want to have a piece of paper on my door. I just believe that religious people should have the highest standards when attempting to win converts. I have a strong belief that God turns on a light when he's calling someone, and as Christians, our main job is to never extinguish that light. If I didn't feel like they were deceiving me, it wouldn't bother me, I would feel inconvenienced, instead of outraged.
