Re: A letter to 'The Occupier'
Yes Mups some of them just ignore the sign....I used to see them usually a Saturday morning walking past my window.....there was always 3 of them ,they'd look in on the way past as they went on to the end of the street then knocked on the doors on their way back , if they ignored the sign, I still sat and looked out at them, ignoring them also....

Re: A letter to 'The Occupier'
Any mail in my box addressed to "Occupant at" or "Current Resident" can't be that important for me to open the envelope, especially when you can see the return address in the upper left hand corner. Mostly it is advertisements hoping you will consider purchasing a product, even selling religion.Trash recycle bin for the "Unlucky Sender".

Re: A letter to 'The Occupier'
I politely tell them that I am Christian and decline their offer to look at the publications they’re peddling to earn a spot in Heaven. But, I must admit, this new approach is sneaky but at least I have the option to toss it in the bin without having to be impolite since I don’t particularly enjoy it.

We meet weekly on a Friday evening at 11pm and our meetings go on for approximately one hour.

I have never, ever seen a Vicar from C of E, or any other religion come to that, behave in such a way.
The little church I have sometimes attended in the past, would never dream of door knocking to try and convert anyone.
I would imagine that sort of behaviour more likely to put people off than convert them!
I have yet to understand how any human beings, can convert you into believing in God, I haven’t a clue, 😂🤣........how they do it!😂

Re: A letter to 'The Occupier'
There's a joke somewhere in the, er, joke section of the forum in which (to precis) a Jehovah's Witness is invited in, offered a cuppa and some cake, and when the house owner asks "so, please tell me more about it", the Witness replies "I can't, I've never got this far before".Anyway, when confronted by such people, I tend to thank them, but no thanks.
As a second part to Pauline's point, I wonder what the success rate actually is. After all, some people fall for the spam and scam stuff via phone and emails. Presumably cold calling about religions will and does work.
