Was that intentional or a Freudian slip?

I have asked the ones who call and have even ventured up to the Kingdom Hall. It works for a little while - then back they come. If I know they are out and about then I just do not answer the door - but they are sneaky and change their days from time to time!

I am never rude to them because I know it is something they have to do and, usually, they are really nice people - but it does irritate.

Re: Bible thumpers at the door

I`d rather answer the door to those who seem to have faith and will go away with a polite comment when I say no thanks than those with a big bag trying to sell me tat and are rude when I say not interested.

Haven't seen any of those around here for years. We are a 'no cold calling' area.

Re: Bible thumpers at the door

I haven't had any cold callers either and I've been here over two years. I did have them when I lived in a modern estate. We even had people selling their own paintings! Thank goodness I've seen the back of them. Although I could never be rude. I just didn't open the door in the latter end and I wouldn't open the door here either.

Re: Bible thumpers at the door

Maybe there are less Cold Callers due to Global Warming.
