Have you ever had a bad experience when Jehovah's Witness or Mormons are at your door?

Never - I have always found that they are polite and gentle people. I often invite them in for a cuppa (but we never seem to agree on their topic of discussion)!

*giggle* Yep. One night I was getting ready for bed when the doorbell rang. I was walking upstairs from the laundry room with my dog at my heels. I was already in my PJs which was a pair of shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top. I set the laundry basket down and answered the door since I was walking past it on my way back to my bedroom and it block my dog from getting out the door. There were two missionaries outside and I was trying to explain that I wasn't interested when my dog got past the laundry basket. When I bent down to grab him, my left boob popped out. . .and a hush fell over the doorway. The missionaries just stammered a bit and then left.

Not at all. I usually invite them in when I can and talk about LDS faith and my own beliefs with them. Of course, they are still there to try and convert me but I don't take it personally.

I have often had Jehovah's Witness's at my door, they are persistent to say the least. Just as I sat down today with AB the doorbell rang. I went out, there were two Mormans at my door. I could only say yes, I have heard of them, Joseph Smith, Utah, and The Osmands. I said I believe in my own Jesus Christ and I'm not hanging at my age. I was potlite, and they were too. They left. I find it odd that this is the first question I saw when I came back in, oooooo, spooky.

i think it is very rude to knock on ppls doors on weenend mornings - i dont care who you are or what religion - esp if it says NO SOLICITING at the apt entrance - they arent only rude , they are uneducated, and i always cuss them out and threaten to call security - i hate getting woke up with this crap

Yes...My dad died when I was 15 years old... About a week after he died, a Jehovah's witness came knocking on the door. My mom was explaining that my dad had just passed away and that we were all very upset. The Jehovah's witness went on to tell us that we should keep all of my dad's clothes and belongings because he would be back shortly and would be needing the clothes. I was so upset, being raised Baptist and already confused as to why God took my daddy from us...My mom told the ladies that they needed to leave because they had upset me, but they were very persistant and wanted to continue talking to me...She had to absolutely push them out of the front door and close the door in their face...

Some JW's came to my door the other week on a Saturday morning when I was in the middle of cleaning the house. I didn't let them in and talked to them through the screen door. I like to see the expression on their faces when they start their Bible thumping, because I can thump right back. I've read the Bible through 5 times. When they saw they couldn't bamboozle me in regards to scripture, they gave me some literature to read along with an invitation to come to one of their services or Bible studies, then they politely departed. I did read the pamphlets, but I haven't gone to their meeting place.

No, they have always been very respectful.
-
No. I have had some cordial and pleasant experiences - sometimes challenging. When they find out that I am a pastor they don't usually want to stay around for a long time though.
-
Not really. JW's feel the need to spread the word and forcefeed everyone their mantra. It may work for some but not for me. After I saw that movie Poltergeist about 3 months later, I heard a knock on my door. I walk over and some dude who looks exactly like the old guy in poltergeist that says "Yer Gonna Diiiiieeeeeeeee" is standin there asking for donations to his church. It was so wierd it felt like it was surreal.

Yes they go to my old relatives houses and get them to give them stuff it's worse than a door to door sales man, at least the salesman gives you something.
-
No, but I was raised as a JW, and while going door to door with my dad one day we had a gun pulled on us. Apparently he wasn't interested.
-
No, not really. They have always been respectful and polite.
