But she's really nice about it. She listens to what they say and then says things like "Well, I don't believe this. It's not something in the Jewish Bible. This is what is in my bible"

"I think it's really good that you have this bible and you're doing this thing. Someone can use those words and these books to have a good thing."

She just offered them something to drink.

Now she's asking them about what they do - what school do you go to, what job do you have.

They're leaving and she hopes she didn't upset them.

lol

the last time missionaries came to my house I told them I was happily episcopalian but I did give them ice water.

they did not seem to know what to do with that.

I got so tired of people coming to my door trying to convert me I told them I was gay and worshipped the devil so clearly I'm going to hell and losed the door.

repositorian: The poor guy who was doing most of the talking was very confused.

MoiyaHatake: Well, that's one way to deal with it.

...yeah I go "I'm queer and trans and happily worship the goods of my ancestors but have a good day!" And shut the door

Gods, thanks phone

I really respect what your mom did tho, it's great

komikbookgeek: My mom invited in a pair of Mormons once and brought out our bible and spent like 45 minutes talking to them.

The only time she's not talked to missionaries is when they came a calling while we were getting ready for the first night of Passover.

But she was very polite about it then, too, even if one of them didn't get the hint. Which was (while holding a wine glass she was cleaning) "I'm sorry, but I don't have time to talk, I'm getting ready for passover."

That's not not getting the hint. That's refusing too

...yeah that's not a "hint" at that point. :X

Point. It was kinda funny watching the one guy trying to get the guy who didn't get the hint to leave.

this is where I'm glad to live in a gated complex
