To think if I broke his toes, it's his own fault for being a twat?

[MeepMeepVrooooom]

Had a couple of men from a religious group at my door trying to recruit (?) people.

I politely informed them I wasn't interested and closed the door, well tried to close the door. The idiot at my door had put his foot in to try and jam it. My door is really really heavy and it does need closed with force, this man started making noises about his toe being broken

AIBU to not really care? He shouldn't have put his damn foot inside my house in the first place, and quite frankly if you do this when someone is closing their door you have nobody to blame but yourself!! It is intimidation techniques to try and force you to listen to their spiel which quite frankly I'm not interested in, in the slightest. I may have told them this

[amberzak]

My grandfather was a die hard atheist. He had copies if the Koran, bible, etc in his house, along with books about the bible. He would always invite any religious callers in and proceed to talk about sections if their text in detail.

Not many came back.

I believe the standard responses to "I'm a Jehovah's Witness" is "Tell him I hope he wins his case"

Who are all these people that launch nappies out of windows? I have never heard or seen this before good timing though

[YouSayWhaaat]

You arrive uninvited to my house and stick your foot through my door when I've asked you to leave? You had better not be wanting it back.

[Layana]

I was a witness. This was ongoing attempts to indoctrinate. Worked though. Even the new owners of the house (friends moved locally) aren't harassed. Just in case they're, you know, "evil" too for buying the house. ...

I've known someone accidentally time a nappy-chuck out the window just as a salesman rang the ball. He got hit with the "package. "

She the threw it out the wrong window. Their bin is usually open under a particular windrow (at the side of house) to accept the parcels (yes. I do find this odd). She was in a hurry and just kind of forgot what room she was in. Still. He never returned. She just heard his scream and saw someone legging it.

Intimidating animal for draping.

[Floppityflop]

I have had a religious recruiter put his foot on the door threshold. I'm afraid I also pushed him out with the door much the same as I would do with any other intruder.

[undecidedanduncertain]

Yanbu. I think his behaviour was intimidating. If he'd come to my door, he'd have got the same. I am almost blind and wouldn't have seen his foot encroaching over the threshold.

My sister was once asked by th god bothered ' have you found Jesus' and she replied ' why have you lost him ! '

[cantcookshouldntcook]

Glad he wont sue op, or you may have had to foot the bill

This thread was great reading.

[pamish]

I once had a friend* who is a witch, black variety. When the JWs found us (in a remote Wiltshire hamlet), he asked them to come back later, and got ready for them. Invited them in to his room, with a pentagram on the floor, upside down crosses, black candles, and (live) black+ white chickens. He then appeared in his cloak. "So, gentlemen, what was it you wanted to discuss?" They fled. I believe this is an unique achievement.

*More of an acquaintance than a true friend.

He was trying to gain entry to your house without your permission. Goodness know what he might have had in mind. You were defending yourself from an intruder with unknown motives. You should have set a leopard on him.

[littledrummergirl]

Didnt ask him that. Only if he was available to work

[MeepMeepVrooooom]

biscuit eater it has been suggested to me he is a "wannabe riverdancer* he'd get in my house if he was. I have wooden floors and noisy downstairs neighbours

[MeepMeepVrooooom]

littledrummer did you ask him what he thought Christmas actually was?

I don't think they were JW I'm sure the said something like light children or children of the life cult

[biscuiteater]

You can just ask JW's to take you off their list if you don't want them to knock. Not sure if other religious groups operate from an address list but worth asking. Sounds like he was quite aggressive though, maybe he will learn to keep his feet under control in future.

[littledrummergirl]

I used to work with a jw. Christmas brought an interesting debate with him say ing they dont celebrate christmas, they spend the time with family having a nice meal and only gave small gifts to the children so they didnt fell left out I told him thats what we did too.

[RightInTheKisser]

I would be toetally on your side OP.

[MeepMeepVrooooom]

I don't know what you mean Tiger it's like a heavy scarf

But your name has just inspired me to invest in a tiger... Now they definitely wouldn't come back if I had a tiger....

[Tigerstripes]

Image of OP draping a rottweiler round her neck made me laugh.

[MrsKranky]

If you haven't got time for that, she said if you pretend to be Catholic it scares them off.

I was brought up catholic (although no longer practicing, more of an atheist these days), I always tell them we're happy with the God we have thank you. Then when they ask how we know God I say we're Roman Catholic, and they say 'oh good, well thanks for your time' and scarper.

Unless DP gets there first, who is an ardent atheist. They tend not to come back for some time after that experience. I even feel a bit sorry for them!!
