        The original source is a satirical news site

        Well, that would have been nice to know! LOL The screenshot and post gives no context of where this story came from.

      Public indecency, I’m guessing. Some people have a stick up their arse about nudity, which is decidedly on the unpleasant side of the butt fun scale.

    I answered the door naked once (I was enroute to the shower), they haven’t bothered me since.

      Had a friend who did that after getting out of shower one morning. He was headed to bed after a twelve hour shift and they had woke him up three Saturdays in a row. He was 5’8’’ and around 160 pounds but we called him Big Ed. Guess why?

    You can also chase them off your property by saying you’ve been excommunicated, and they’ll never come back.

      No no, what you do is you ask them if they know why the church is making them go door to door. When they say “to spread the word of God” you correct them. “No, they know that going door to door won’t get new members of your church because doing so is rude. They want people to get mad at you and treat you poorly so that you run back to your church saying how mean everyone was. That’s when they pull YOU in closer. You’re being played.” It won’t save their souls from the cult, but it plants a seed of doubt. And if they go back and tell the church what you said, you’ll be put on a list of houses to not return to.

      Considering that’s not the term they use, it would not be very effective. They would know you’re lying.

        Since you didn’t actually provide a good response, it’s called disfellowshipped.

          Thank you! My old coworkers were all JW, but I forgot the word and used the protestant equivalent.

          Still won’t work. It’s just not worth trying to remember it, and thus not worth mentioning the term.

          It’s more nuanced than that. You can’t be disfellowshipped unless you were baptized as a JW, which you can tell if someone was or not. That’s just not something you can easily lie about. At best you can say you were “disassociated”, but that’s not worth that either.

          You’re better off just saying “put me on your do not call list” than trying to come up with a lie like that.

    My dad’s brother just kept answering the door naked and they stopped coming back. Her devil vagina magic might have worked if she was cute.

    Or just ask them to put you on the “do not call” list and they shouldn’t bother you again for several years.

      Studies consistently show that devil vagina magic is the more effective solution.

        I wish I could’ve participated in that study, I love magic!

        DVM: *Pulls out seemingly endless scarves*

        Me: *Claps gleefully*

        DVM: *Makes my head spin around 3 times*

        Me: I didn’t like that one as much

        DVM: *Makes a quarter appear*

        Me: I’m still dizzy from that last trick. Can you give me a second?

        It’s one thing to preach in public, but gtf off my lawn!

        As a millennial, my heart still stops when the door rings, obviously it’s the police or something or I would have gotten a text. I should have bought a house without a front door

      You could just tell them you’re an apostate.

      Those they actively avoid.
