Door to door evangelists, how is this shit legal?

[Sindalf]

My friend had this problem. He fixed it with good old fashion fucking with people. Invite them in and talk to them about how you worship Satan. Make sure you know your stuff first so you can really get in there head. They always avoid his house now.

[Mizango]

It's gods will, sorry. You should feel honored that he stopped being so busy and is now meddling in your pathetic existence.

It's magic motherfucker...resistence is futile.

How come I never get to debate with guys like this? That would be amazingly enlightening.

My dad is like this (minus the loudness) even though he's a Buddhist now. It's pretty awesome tbh.

The people who know their shit about their own religion can be amazing to talk to

Sol-Blackguy, was it you that met an Amish/Mormon chick on a subway and yall were supposed to rendezvous? Or was that someone else? If it was you, how'd that turn out?

[bigrougabagel]

That video was impressive. What sucks is that those drones will go back to their leader and receive false praise until they believe they know what theyre talking about again. Also, that must have been one quiet bike ride back to the compound. Mormon awkward is something i dont think i would be prepared to handle.

In texas theirs a law... i think its called... castle doctrine

"Shoot first, ask later" on any trespassers

I certainly don't have any strange people coming to my door anymore!

The castle doctrine only protects you in the case of potential extreme bodily harm inside your home, not on your property.

We met up at least once a week to make out, but she was too scared to give it up. I could tell she lacked the constitution to to equip the dark staff of legend.

where the hell are you in MA that it's been 85 and humid at any point in recent history, i musta slept through that day

[jmc]

Do you have a sign that says no solicitors? If not get one, then call the cops. If a sign is posted, its trespassing, or so I have been told.

Not in MA.

OP, what town do you live in?

[archibaldcrane]

Hire Clint Eastwood.

Problem solved.

PROFIT!

That video was amazing. I've never seen someone get so thoroughly owned on something they claim to know so much about. It reminds me of when teachers, substitutes mostly, would get a simple math problem wrong, and when you tried to correct it, they would get upset.

How many of ya'll are 18-25 years old and how many of you are gonna go out and teach your religion for 2 years? These guys know as much about their religion as any one of you know about your own. In some cases it's a lot and in some cases they are clueless but most of the they barely know enough to teach someone else. It's amazing anyone joins the mormon church when novices are sent out to recruit new members.

anyway..

There are places in the world where the religious zealots already believe you're going to hell, that you can't be saved, and that by killing you they earn the right to go to heaven and the reward of many virgins.

I'd rather deal with the seventh day adventists, the jehovah's witnesses and the mormons.

Welcome to BG. You have a lot to learn

This past week, especially from Monday and before, was very warm, high 80s, and for a couple of the days was humid as hell, like balls sticking to the leg humidity. Not good. I am in Dartmouth, MA, its right next to New Bedford.

Another interesting fact about them: The house they live in is like this halfway/assisted living house that goes through families frequently. There is a new one there every year at least. The family before them was equally as big and used to trash the lawn but at least they kept to themselves.

I don't have the patience to sit down and talk to them to be honest. I tend to get going quickly during religious debates in person and it could just get out of hand. I'm just going to tell em to leave me alone next time, hopefully nicely, though if they wake me up again I won't be so nice.

Still, my original question was how can they just mosey onto anyones property and bug them? I don't think they need to be told to go away before it could be construed as some form, if even minor, of harassment.

And Ksandra, I would never complain about McDonalds nuggets. What do you take me for? Wendy's on the other hand...

The idea that ringing somebody's doorbell, for whatever reason, is harassment is pretty retarded, really. If you send a clear message that you don't want to be bothered then maybe, but seriously man, what kind of fucking neighborhood did you grow up in to be against people you don't know ringing your doorbell?

[Ivve]

Have any of you ever tried telling them you're already a member of their church? "Already have it" works for peope who call pushing magazine subscription offers and car warranties.

Alternatively, hire someone who is good with makeup to 'carve' pentagrams and swastikas on your chest, and answer the door without your shirt on.

I actually laughed my ass off at this statement because i pictured the OP going through all the time to find someone good with make up and putting the swastikas and pentagrams on his chest and then answering the door with his shirt on and wonder why they aren't going away.

They have some rights to knock on your door but you have the right to ask them to leave. You should call the police if they refuse (some police departments have you call a non-911 number for situations like this)

Trespass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

... Someone such as a door-to-door salesman or missionary, would be a solicitor and not afforded the invitee exclusion to enter the private portion of the premises, and therefore be a trespasser. In a more recent case, Jehovah's Witnesses refused to get government permits to solicit door-to-door in Stratton, Ohio. In 2002, the case was heard in the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court ruled in favor of the Jehovah's Witnesses, holding that making it a misdemeanor to engage in door-to-door advocacy without first registering with the mayor and receiving a permit violate the first Amendment as it applies to religious proselytizing, anonymous political speech, and the distribution of handbills.

Most jurisdictions do not allow "self-help" to remove trespassers. The usual procedure is to ask the trespassing person to leave, then to call law enforcement officials if they do not...
