I say, 'Not interested, thanks' and close the door - why be rude? Bad kharma anyway.....
They normally try and give me a watchtower book
I say give it to someone who needs it.
I tell them I dont drink , smoke or take drugs so life is good.
they normally go then

Hi marie 
interesting thread ..
Personally, I have no problem with this. Years ago I might have felt a bit indignant as I have my own faith and felt that those people were trying to "indoctrinate" me into theirs .. but I've never found it necessary to be rude.
Over the past few years though I've felt that the reps/missionaries from various churches that do pop by are simply wanting to pass on their goodwill and there's been times in my life when I've found that pretty comforting.
Although I've not actually invited anyone into my home (they're still strangers after all, just like the people flogging stuff) I've often had a chat at the door or as I'm working in the garden out the front.
I actually think they have a lot of guts, given the reaction that they'd get from a lot of people .. but they are people too and I personally don't feel that anyone deserves the treatment that they receive; a simple "No thanks" is enough, surely

I've usually said I'm Buddhist and don't believe in a one god, but that usually seems open a conversation i'd rather not have, and when it gets to read this i decline as i don't like throwing others peoples teachings in the rubbish as i get negative karma from that. Usually ends about then.

Me too that’s why we have doors! If god was so mighty then how come he always needs money? Has he got a bad accountant or something?
Hi mariespoodles(love the name!!!)
I will share a couple of stories:
1. In my undergrad days in the early 70's, I was home at the time of 2 young Mormon lassies came to the front door of my parents' home, where I lived then. Wanting desperately for a break in my studying, I invited them in, much to my parents' horror.
They began to set up their slide projector, next thing you know, there was a full blown pic of Joseph Smith, American of-course...anyway, they stayed for ages, I made them cups of tea...had a great time(anything to avoid study!!!). Well, by then, my parents were about to slit their wrists, being Roman Catholic...seeing me having such a great time, asking so mnay questions(I was truly curious, simply because it sounded all too ridiculous!)...I think it took them several years to stop fearing that I woas turning Mormon. Then several years later, I started seeing this guy, who turned out to actually be, and unbeknowns to me, of the Mormon faith...My parents really liked him!!!
...but no way I could marry into the Mormon faith...so I had to let him go...Ya can't win! 
2. I have a dear friend, who one day, saw these 2 young men, oozing JW all over them...through his kitchen window. So he was well prepared for the good ol' knock on the door...So when they announced who they were, he screamed at the top of his voice, with the facial expressions to accompany..."I am the devillllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"...He said ya shoulda seen the look of sheer terror on their face, as they shot off up the street...!!!

And they invented beer!
Lets just say I like the outdoors and drinking lots of beer!

My mother is a "Jehovah's Witness" and she has been trying to convert the whole family for 41 yrs (unsuccessfully)
yeah... go figure!!
I remember going door knocking with her as a child and was often confronted by irate residents ranting and raving for us to leave their property with some resorting to hosing us, throwing stuff, slamming the door in our face etc.., if we didn't leave immediately.
What do you do, not do, when religious fanatics come knocking at your door to preach?? Do you get into it with them or take offense etc..,?? What about being on my side of the fence?? Anyone with similar experiences??
