Reading the many tales of door knockers reminds me...
Of the time some Mormons came to my house and my dad invited them in to talk about his recent trip to Utah (Mormon central) and show them his slides for about an hour.
They must have a black list because that was the last time we ever had random God botherers.
Mind you he did a similar thing with Greenpeace, making them wait at the door while he went off to get his (and no, this is not a joke) white sealskin snowboots.
More horrified looks I have never seen.

It's true
Mormons do keep track of who needs another visit and, more specifically, who doesn't. I visited Salt Lake City some years ago and dropped in at the Mormon temple to have a look round. I don't remember how but they got my address for something or other and a few months later back at home I got a visitation.

But I put paid to that - I not only moved house but moved country as well, and they didn't find me again for years. But find me they did, this time when I was living in a predominantly catholic country. I explained that I was protestant. The mormons looked at each other, then told me "well that's close enough for us" and they walked off to convert catholics. I have never been visited again. Indeed I've seen them in the street, and they just walk right past my house now.

Ignored by the Mormons!
Kudos to you!
