So, you were nice and listened...nothing wrong with that. But, I appreciate the worry that they'll come back and what do you say. Just say that you don't want to join their church. If you could, I think you could put a sign on the door...but, that might not fly. The nice part is over...they extended themselves and you were gracious. Now, the nicities are over...notice, they are trying to pressure you...two againt one...and they have an agenda. Thanks, but no thanks...and refuse to feel bad about it.

I have both Mormon and Jehovah Witness friends - they are really great folks - they have house sat for me and I would trust no one more - have been to both of their churches just to learn about them - even though I have no desire for any organized religion. I seem to have been on the regular route for both faiths and had new proselytizers at my door often.

I suggest we give each other equal time so I will listen to their faith and they in turn listen to my studies on Taoism and Buddhism. Never had a taker!!

I have to admit, after about 3 times of them coming, I hid and did not answer the door. I feel so guilty about it though.

i have had many visitors come by.i tell them in a respectful way right from the start that i have a personal relationship with jesus,when they decide that that is not enough,i just request if i can pray with them to accept a relationship with jesus.they are more than ready to leave then.much love many prayers.grammie

I went through this about 10 years ago. They knocked on the door and I pretended to be interested because they looked so nice and well dressed and they were so polite. Then they came back again, and I made my husband go tell them that I wasn't interested. They didn't try to talk us into anything....they just said okay and left. So I think if you just tell the truth, there won't be some dramatic scene or anything. Good luck to you.

I let my 12 year old half blind female Jack Russell on them, little do they know all she wants to do is lick them to death, lol. She is old and sweet as molasses. She would set up a soup kitchen for wayward fleas, lol. I'm a Catholic and though respectful of LDS, I have a pretty good relationship with the 'big guy' upstairs. I'm almost half way there, don't want to blow it now, lol.

It's just, I don't have the heart to tell them off in a rude or mean way.. I'm super bad with confrontation and I just have no interest in joining the church or the reading sessions anymore -_- I have to apparently contact the sisters by phone or tell them in person that I do not want to continue meeting with them and I have no idea how to do that.

Simple,

Don't answer the door, I don't, I'm not interested, it's my house and I don't know them nor do I want to join their church.

If they know I'm home and ignoring them then get offended ...well, too bad, I didn't invite them over and it's my property, my man feels exactly the same way.

That or buy a Doberman, might deter them lol.


mittens.

LMAO wide that reply cracked me up!
We have jehovahs here in the UK but everyone who knocks on the door gets the same response wether they are selling electricity broadband or indeed relegion.
Sorry really busy right now
And thas it.
I have found to my expense that when you give these guys an inch they take the whole nine. I once had to threaten a double glazing saleman with the police to get him out of my house!!! So i dont let them in no more. I know they mean well and they have beliefs that they are trying to convey to others and its nice that you listened and gave them the chance but dont put yourself in an anxious situation for the benefit of someone else. I am sure if you said i have an anxiety disorder and cant deal with this its freaking me out they would go without anything but an apology but you wont because you dont want to put them in the position of feeling bad about causing someone else greif when they had no idea.
When you look at it like that and just say no thanks i am not interested in many ways you are saving THEM from the reality of the situation so you are doing THEM a favour!
If they really are as nice as they say they are they wont mind dont beat yourself up about it

I gave the church a call and told them straight up that I am not currently interested in joining the church, They said they understood and would never force anyone into something they don't want to do, They told me I can keep the book (of mormon that they gave me during the last visit) and that if i ever had any questions I would be welcome to call them, They said thank you for actually letting them know because most people do not do that.. I feel relieved but at the same time I can't help wondering if i was clear enough in my intentions.

That's great that you called them. I think you made it clear to them. I don't think they will come to your door again so I think you can relax about it now.
I have gotten a lot more assertive when it comes to things like this. I am polite but say. thank you but I am not interested.
Just keep it short and sweet. we don't need to explain ourselves or owe them an explanation.
