Fundie youth on my street! Suggestions?

[Bleacher Creature]

There's a couple of kids going door to door on my street -- maybe early 20s?? They have on white short-sleeve shirts, ties, black pants, and nametags. I'm almost positive they are proselytizing.

I'm trying to decide how to respond when they knock -- respectful, indignant, dismissive?? My first instinct is to point out to them how much they remind me of a cult, but that may go over their heads. Any thoughts???

1. They might be mormons.

Baptists hate mormons.

[sniffa]

2. do you have any eggs?

a big dog? fire?

but on a serious note... are you ready for the coming of jehovah?
can i sign you up for a compLimentary subscription to watchtower?

[atreides1]

3. You can try this

Find out if they support Bush, if they reply in the affirmative then direct them to the nearest US military recruiting station.

4. Sounds like you have Mormons

Put a sign on your door that says "No preaching"

[meegbear]

11. Sounds like you have Mormons?

Thought I might have termites, but it turned out to be Mormons. A whole nest of them.

:rofl:

[CottonBear]

18. LOL!

There's several in my neighborhood. They wear the white shirts and black pants and ride bikes. I think they are doing their mandatory mission work. I'm hardly ever home so I've not been bothered.

12. Or one of these...

5. Don't answer the door

If you're out in the yard gardening or something like, get thyself into the house for a glass of iced tea.
Why waste precious seconds of your life on dolts?

6. Tell them you want to hear everything they have to say,

but first you'll need to have sex with both of them.

[meegbear]

7. Mormons ... they usually take just a no thank you

But have some cauldrons of boiling oil on the roof just in case.

[sniffa]

9. i doubt they're mormons

but what do i know. :shrug:

[lenidog]

22. Well you got two choices they are either Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses

If they come up to you all you have to do is say that you are not interested and they be polite and go on their way. They may ask to leave you a pamphlet and you can decline and that will be it. I would not be nasty to them because they will be extremely polite to you and wont give you a hard time

[blm]

8. Ask if they enlisted for Bush's Holy Wars to bring on the EndTimes.

Then let them know that most of the fundamentalism of the last 30 years has been funded by RevMoon, including the Intelligent Design crowd and those testifying in Kansas court against evolution.

[Swamp Rat]

10. Try to convert them to Satanism or some religion you invent

Tell them about all the virgins they'll have if they do... be creative and have fun! :D

Remember, the longer you engage them, the fewer people they can bother today.

Ask them if they support the president? If they do, offer to take them to the nearest recruiter. If they make excuses, well, I'd go ballistic on 'em for not being American patriots. :evilgrin:

[jakefrep]

13. Answer the door while naked...

...that might scare them off.

[Arugula Latte]

26. My husband's friend did that one.

He was eating chicken at the time and he told them it was "Jesus meat." ... "Ya want some Jesus meat?"

They high-tailed it out of there!

[Frances]

14. They do sound like Mormons

I agree with the poster who would ask them why they haven't enlisted to fight in Iraq. I would ask them politely, but it's a good question. Mormons support Bush by about 95%.

[bluestateguy]

15. What bother me about these people

Is how they always try and come across as all cheery and optimistic, but behind all that is a belief that if you don't believe exactly what they believe then you are going to hell.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. Tell them you are all set, but thanks anyway.

[cheezus]

17. be SUPER supportive of them

but question why they are going door to door when there are starving children out there who need feeding. Then ask where in the bible jesus says it's more important to convert people than it is to help the poor children.

[Swamp Rat]

19. good one

[LynneSin]

20. When you answer the door ask if they're here with the drugs

:eyes:

[hickman1937]

23. ROFLMAO!

I'll have to remember that one.

[lenidog]

21. Sounds like Mormons

[jukes]

24. prbly too late now

but i'd sugg they get over to the recruitment center & enlist to protect us from those dusky-hued heathens!

[dean_dem]

27. My dad used to torment the mormons all the time...

when they would come to our door:
"Ah, the Morons!"
"Um, Mormons sir."
"Oh, same difference."
