We’ve all likely heard the knock on our door that Saturday morning when we planned on sleeping in.

We’ve all likely heard the knock on our door that Saturday morning when we planned on sleeping in. You cringe as you look out the window to see two people dressed in their Sunday best with literature in hand. You have to give Mormons or Jehovah’s Witnesses credit for their tenacity, but if you’re like most people, you really wish they would just leave you alone. Once they’re on your front steps your options are limited.

You can open the door, fake your best smile and humor them through their sales pitch (the whole time wishing they would just go away). You can be rude by sending them briskly on their way with a curt dismissal. You can hide behind the furniture hoping they didn’t see you peeking out from the blinds (don’t laugh this happens more often than you think). Lastly you can listen to their presentation and join the club. Who knows, Jesus could have come back “invisibly” in 1914, or the Garden of Eden could have been in Missouri (Not!!!).

You actually have another option that will get rid of your new visitors for good. You can remind them of their crazy historical beliefs. Both of these religious groups have held some ridiculous beliefs over the years and often times pointing out just a few of these beliefs will result in these individuals running off your door step and putting an invisible X on your house.
