We have a little plaque on our porch that says "No Trespassing.  Violators will be shot.  Survivors will be shot again." that I put there as a funny but it seems to be working!  We were getting regular visitors from Jehovah's Witnesses (I think they stopped a lot because I debated their beliefs - I have been an Independent Baptist and have studied the Bible in detail for many, many years).  After the sign was put up, they told my husband they weren't allowed to come to our house anymore because of the No Trespassing sign.

LOL. This is great. I answer the door with my chain still on and just politely refuse whatever, but it gets old. I thought about a "no soliciting" sign, but I love your sign idea, gaylasue.

:fish:

You might as well put up a sign that says I am an easy touch with low resistance, so see if you can find another way to get to me.

I really don't like it at all.  There is one company that comes around every few months.  They have a small gift bag and immediately hand it to me saying here we have a gift for you today.  Then they go into a long sales pitch (I believe it is some type of carpet cleaner) and they want to come in, when I tell them no they *bleep* the gift bag out of my hand.  So frustrating.  I think the next time they come, and I"m sure they will, when they hand me the gift bag I will open my door and set it down.   
I also don't like the Jehovahs Witnesses, don't answer the door for them.   I do have two elderly women that will show up a few times a year to invite me to their church.  I do answer for them because they are very sweet and I feel bad for them so I always thank them for their invitation.  Sometimes I will offer them a bottle of water.  They always compliment me on my flowers.  Just hard to not appreciate such sweet little ladies.

So you learned from the bible to shoot people that were obeying Jesus command...please read Math 24:14......you seem to fit right in when Jesus said the whole world lies in power of wicked one with all this shooting going on.Also remember what Jesus told Peter when Peter used his sword.You will die by using it.

Gods people arent looking to witness to those that arent interested.They obey Jesus command to shake the dust offa  their feel to those NOT interested and leave.

You think this worldwide brotherhood is in over 240 lands preaching and teaching the truth in vain?No one is getting paid here.You think over 20 million attened Passover on 3/31 to show off their new suits?

Go read Psalms 83:18 KJV and finally see God has a name!!

Fear of man is a snare.Even those in Jesus day that were of higher rank knew he was Gods son.Peer pressure affected them as it affected Pontious Pilate to have him execute a righteous man.

:rose: :rainbow: :rose: Some people think that soliciting is talking to you at the door, unless you put no flyers at the door too, you may still get them delivered! :rose: :rainbow: :rose:

Right before 3/31 which was Passover Gods people circulated a tract to invite everyone of the importance to attend what Jesus commanded.The memorial of his death.The tract explained there would be NO collection.Just an informal talk of the importance of that yearly date Jesus commanded we observe.The world was informed.

Last yr over 20 million attended.I remind you all what Jesus said RE the worldwide preaching work.The stones would cry out if need be.

     I do not like it either. Trying to get things (your things) for free.
     Try to sell you something you do not want or need.
     Just avoid them!

357 in reference to another gun?

Isnt it bad enuff that innocent people have been shot for others thinking they had a gun?

The macho approach to leave me alone to some i guess.

Just let your yes mean yes and no mean no...
 By going “in excess” of a simple Yes or No to state their intentions, such people may reveal that they are really untrustworthy and thus under the influence of “the wicked one.”​—Read Matthew 5:33-37.

I have one of those signs on my door and I don't mind literature being left in my door.  However, I hate when someone knocks and wants to sell me something, or have me sign a petition, etc.  That's what the sign should definitely discourage!
