It's happened 3 times in two months- two were within a week of each other.

They're always very polite, and i totally respect and understand why they do it.

However, we're humanists. We don't believe in gods and won't until there is significant evidence to sugest otherwise. Every time they call, i just say 'no thank you, we're humanists' and close the door. But they call at the worst time (10am on a saturday morning when we're [embarrassingly] still in our pyjamas). I've also recently lost a cousin (he was 30, an only child, married with a toddler and had suffered with leukemia for 5 years) so i'm not really in the mood to be discussing the existence God, as i'd like to give him a piece of my mind if i could!

The fact thats it's happened so often sugests to me that they're not going to stop any time soon. Is there any way to change this? If i asked them to stop calling at our house, would they oblige? It's a different person every time, so i'm not sure the message would get passed on. Could i contact the local Kingdom Hall and ask them that way?

I'm not really sure what the protocol is- can anyone help?

No they shouldn’t still call once they have been told clearly that is your wish.

Ancient thread, but I’ve simply got a ‘no cold callers, sales people or religious groups’ sign up. No one ever bothers me. Although I have a faith I absolutely hate door knocking of any sort whether it’s trying to convert me or get me to buy new windows. If I want it I’m perfectly capable of finding it without someone banging on my door interrupting me.
