Yea it would be a long story, and probably a worthwhile exercise for my own benefit as well. I'll have to think about it.

Interesting, thanks for the details. I think I'll cruise by the witness thread Mr B linked for some info. I'm curious as to whether door-ro-door evangilising is consider a 'job'.

Thanks again.

Despite repeated statements of disinterest and my atheism, they always came back.

Finally had enough, saw two on their way down the street and did this:
1. change into all black clothes;
2. put Morbid Angel on repeat on my stereo loud enough to be heard at the front door;
3. slick back hair with gel;
4. opened door when they knocked;
5. made unblinking direct eye contact with both and;
6. said: "Tell me about this God-head you have. I am VERY interested. In fact, why not come inside."

They ran away quickly and never came back.

In other words, with some warning and good acting, you can be rid of them.
Would greeting them at the door naked with a cigarette in one hand and a can of beer in the other whilst shouting "Jehovah is a fucken idiot" suffice?

(Haven't been game enough to try it as yet though )

G'day MW and welcome to the forums. Inside information on religious practices and proselytising is always welcome in my book.
