So......I have this problem...

[Loulou]

Well, it all started a few months ago. This little old lady comes to my door and greets me with a big smile. Now when I say old, I mean 80 plus (no offence to our 80 plus members) and she starts asking me about my life. It finally gets the better of me and I ask her who she is and she passes me The Watchtower book.

Now I think, 'Aaah crap!' I mean I was raised by two atheists, I'm probably the most unreligious person in Adelaide. but I have the problem of this woman being old and really lovely so I don't want to be rude. Stupid move I know, I take the book and say goodbye.

Now a month later she comes back with another one, I don't have the time to chat so I take the book and say goodbye, politely explaining I have to go (another dumb move)
She comes round again and I think myself, I have to explain my stance on religion so I politely tell her, look I'm not religious, never will be and i will never go to church. She kindly excepts this and hands me the book anyway and says goodbye.

Well, she comes around today doesn't she? Now I had no time to explain, chat or anything. So I lied and told her that I was on the phone. She slides the book under door.
HELP ME! how do I politely tell her to LEAVE ME ALONE!! Anyone else had this happen? I mean I hand it to them, it was shear genius on their part to send out the oldest, sweetest lady they have at that church.

( just so we are clear, I don't want a religious debate, I have no judgement about anyone's religion. I feel everyone is free to believe whatever they wish.)

My husband is Muslim, and he always tries to 'counter-convert' whoever shows up (he is also a college teacher and loves to talk so he'll talk to anyone about anything pretty much). Usually people don't come back because he's good at arguing. Maybe you could try this approach.

Next time she comes around start blasting Do the Evolution on your radio....then she'll get the message...

Slap a 'lord, please protect me from thy followers' sign on your door, and when she comes knocking you can say, "look. The praying doesn't work."

next time she shows up yell back into the house, "Honey, she's back, bring me the goats blood!!!"

[Caveeze]

Invite her in to take a bath with you..

I have used this tactic on Jehovah's witnesses..

They will either take the bath or quit coming around... either way, you will smile..

[Loulou]

I love these suggestions but don't think I'm ballsy enough for the bath one or the goats blood.

lets see, watchtower is Jehovahs Witness, right? Ask her where you can send the Xmas card and present.

[Caveeze]

answer the door bottom-less next time..

Top-less is a shocker, but bottom-less is a deal breaker..

She will never come back, just on principal..
