The Mormons just descended en masse in Bay View...
I was asleep.

The doorbell rang.

I stayed in bed.

The doorbell rang.

I got up and started getting dressed.

The doorbell rang.

I got to the door and they were walking down the street.

I looked out and a whole flock of them were gathering around a van.

I believe they're lucky that I didn't make it to the door.

1. Isn't there something you can do to unwanted solicitors on your property?
Why must people be subjected to this constant pestering and have no recourse?

2. I think they'll be in for a rather blunt surprise if they knock on the doors of gays and lesbians
No matter where in the country.

Giving them a piece of one's mind about being bigots and supporting Prop 8 before slamming the doors in their faces would be very satisfying.

4. Piece of one's mind?
I believe the correct word would be "apeshit".

5. Yeah, "apeshit" would be a better way to put it.

13. My ex and I were in bed at his house in the mountains over Fort Collins
when they mormons came to the door.

He got up and answered. When I heard who it was I got out of bed (naked and partially aroused) and walked to the door saying "how is it sweetie?"

We never saw them in the neighborhood again.

LOL

15. I like that!
Given the state you were in when you walked to the door, I hope those Mormons didn't spoil your mood. :-)

7. Ugh, I got Jehovah's Witnesses on Thanksgiving a few years ago.
They looked very official, so I opened the door.

I'll keep an eye out, and they'll get an earful if they come here.

12. My problem is that my local Jehovah's Witnesses are very elderly African Americans.
I can't bring myself to go ape-shit on them or even to be rude. In fact, I'm usually worried about them walking around in the hot sun in their three-piece suits and fancy dresses because their average age around here appears to be ninety. I usually end up asking them if they're ok, do they need a glass of water. Then they push a brochure at me that depicts my various identities - lesbian, pagan - as the devil incarnate, and I end up giving them a quarter to buy it because I'm too polite to say anything.

I need to stop this.

16. One thing I can say for the JWs ... they don't involve themselves in politics.
...it is their official policy to remain politically neutral in all matters. They don't run for office, involve themselves in political campaigns --they don't even vote, so no one can blame them for forcing their religious beliefs on others, unlike the Mormons, so I will give them props for that.

8. The Jehovah's Witnesses don't come to my house any more,
ever since my partner threatened to sic the dogs on them. No Mormons yet, but I've seen 'em in the neighborhood. Maybe word is out about the crazy white queers in "that" house. Oh, well. Pity.

9. They sound like brain eating zombies in a horror movie.
by that description. It fits too.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that rude interruption by them. :hug:

10. They'd better not show up here
"You have ten seconds to get the hell off my property" is about as polite I'll get with them.
