02/11 - Stardew Saturday!

I thought they were stopping this (door-to-door stuff)>
I lived in a sort-of heavily populated Mormon area and we got them quite a bit (not meaning to sound derogatory, we have friends that are Mormon, neighbors -
but the door to door thing, well -
anyway, they came all the time until once I looked at them sadly and (honestly) seeing their young faces and how callow they were (to the world) said what was really honest - for me - at that moment:
I really wish there was some way to help you, but there isn't.

(and that was the last time they came!)

They rarely do cold door-to-door anymore. The area around me is poorer so they go around offering help to people occasionally but they'll also come if someone specifically sent by someone. Which is usually the case when they come to see us.

It makes me sad to see them, too, which is why I'm never rude. They're doing what they believe is right and they're just kids.

I live in a pretty small town with a surprisingly large Jehovah Witness population. Two young ladies dropped by my apartment once about three years ago. I didn't have the heart to shut the door on them, so I listened to what they said and took their pamphlet. They came back a week later. Same situation. Rinse and repeat for two years. I realized six months in that it wasn't going to stop and I was in no way equipped to handle the situation.

So I bought a house! Haven't seen them since.

They bother me every single month around the 15th of every month. It's been a few years back, but one time they wanted me to know how evil Harry Potter was etc.. Told me I shouldn't let my children watch. I told them "My kids don't watch or read Harry Potter, but I do." And even though they know I'm Wiccan they still come around.

I told my writing group about 'dickbird' and they love it. Just thought you should know. So if it shows up in someone's book it was all your fault.

Get a mezuzah. They'll skip right past your house then.

Maybe it's regional. It worked for me when I lived in Seattle!

This is actually a good plan! I told the Jehovah Witness lady that came to my house that I was Jewish and she never knocked on my door again. She did leave baked goods and hand written notes to me though, which I thought was adorable.

I've always found the Jehovah's Witnesses that come to my house are far more aggressive than the Mormons. I've almost had to physically shove a few back out my door.

We don't get many Mormon visitors in the south, but I cracked open a window last summer to shoo out a fly and like 4 mosquitos and a jehovah's witness got in
