Crap, the Mormons are coming

Do you think if I answer the door with my glass of wine, cup of coffee, and out of wedlock child they'll go away??!?!?!

That could work.

Sounds like someone is behind in rotating their food storage. Tsk...Tsk....Just 'fess up.

I've never had a problem with the Mormons, I usually just say "Thanks, but I'm not interested," and they move on. They've always seems pleasant and respectful, unlike other door to door proselytizers.

 

[StrollPatrolMom]

They were nice...but I told them any religion without wine and coffee is not for me.

Good ol' Irish Catholic here.

The Mormons are the nicest of the Soul Solicitors IMHO. That said, you could always just not answer the door.

My uncle went to visit his elderly aunt one day...She opened the door stark nekkid, looked at him and said "I'm sorry, I thought you were the gas man..."

I was fresh out of the shower one day and had a robe on when they showed up. I answered the door and tried to get them to leave but they wouldn't. My friend who had spent the night had taken a shower in the other bathroom and came to the door way in a towel and told the guys to leave so that we could get back to our business!

The guys started to say something about us living in sin and my friend just said he's ok with it as long as his wife doesn't know. So then he asked them how to make sure she wouldn't find out!

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!

Okay your title made me spew my Coke. No offense to the mormons but it reminded me of my DS when he was little and we were in the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield Missouri. There were a whole group of Amish people there and when I say a group I mean a huge group. So many that my young DS got scared of them. I remember getting on the elevator, which is clear and my DS looking down to see a group of them standing at the bottom. He looks at me and says,

I'm SCARED mommy, the DUTCH are coming!!!!!

Totally off topic of your post but the title just brought back the memory.

Well, you can tell them you are Jewish and then they will likely baptize you after you die, like they did to Anne Frank and millions of other Jews including Holocaust victims

Nah. You're just a bigger challenge!

 

[chris1gill]

We have them here actually. I have found them very pleasant when you tell them you're not interested... My DH actually had a conversation completely devoid of religion a week or so ago...

Just say you're not interested...

Here's a novel idea: don't answer the door.

my front room is seriously all windows, it was obvious we were here....they were nice and I was half kidding.

They are so young, I have to say it must be some good character building for them to have to go door to door all day long for 2 years. I imagine some people are not very nice.

They normally are young. I think the average Mormon missionary is college aged.

Quick....run to your bathroom and put on your oldest and nastiest nightgown, add one of those caps you use to frost your hair at home and put that on your head. I guarantee they will be speechless and back away quickly. Just don't ask me how I know this to be true.....

 

[kribit]

I've never had the Mormons. I've had Jehovas a bunch of times though. They are nice, I just kindly send them on their way.

Ugh...

Once upon a time, when I was young and looking for approval from my aunt, I converted to LDS (aka a Mormon). Let's just say it didn't take.

Now this happened...21 years ago or thereabout. Long before my 15 year marriage to a lapsed Lutheran and the births of our two children.

Recently they tracked me down somehow. They have shown up on our doorstep 3 times. Mispronouncing my maiden name, asking me to come back. I thank them for the concern but tell them I am not the same person I was and have no interest. They mail me chuch info.

My husband is losing his amusement about this, though he has likened them to the mob...not letting anyone go.

I *really* cringe when I see them coming. (Make it stop, please...)

I wouldn't have a 19 or 20 year old advise me on my 401K, and I likewise wouldn't look to someone of that age to school me on the finer points of theology. That said, they are often a long way from home, barely out of their teens, and lonely. Being kind to someone in that situation is a good thing. (But unless you want followup contacts, leave it at that....don't give out your personal information.)
