More precisely my mom, we live in Poland.

Several times I was hounded by the Jehovah's Witnesses(they can be very annoying) once when i waiting for bus when i returning from my university to home on Jehovah's Witness try to convert me, talking about who will be saved and who don't, It took about 15 minutes, then entered to the bus, I wished about was that this guy did not just entered to this bus with me
But I had a first time contact with Mormons in Poland.

As for other religions, I also had contact with the Hare Krishna sect, I bought a book from them for 10 zł (3 $).
I did not want this book, do not know why I bought it, probably just to get rid of them. Price was low anyway, but I do not know why the hell I bought the book

Yesterday, my wife and I were getting... (ahem)... busy, when there was a knock on the door. Swearing under my breath, I slipped on my sweats, and answered the door. It turns out, it was two Jehovah's Witness ladies who asked if they could come in - even though I had assured them that my family and I already belonged to a church. Finally, they got the point that I wasn't interested, and left. Some people are so annoying with their religion.

If you want to throw jehovah's witnesses, ask them what happens to the 140 001st most devout member.

I had no idea the Hare Krishna were still around. Whatever happened to them?

I keep a Dungeon Master's Guide handy for just this type of occasion.

If you had invited them to join you and your wife, they would have left a lot sooner. It worked for an Irishman, who got rid of two persistent young female Jehova's Witnesses by telling them he firmly believed in premarital sex, and if they really wanted to convert him, they had to help him get it out of his system. Dust clouds on the horizon. I'm sure it would have worked on male proselytisers, too.

Once back in the UK a couple of men knocked on the door. I guessed immediately they were JWs. The older of the two men launched in straight away with "Why do you think there is so much conflict and suffering in the world?" My reply "Because of people like you, spreading division between people with the poison of religion." The guy looked quite offended but his younger partner struggled to suppress a grin. They didn't hang around long after that.

There are a few churches that come around here door to door on recruiting drives.
I just don't answer the door if it's them (you can always tell just by looking at them). If they catch me outside or in the garage I just tell them I'm not the kind of person you want in your congregation in a convincing way.
I just can't take a church seriously that has to sell themselves door to door like that.

The younger one might have been cute when she was a bit younger, though the one who did all the talking was a hideous old bag with a couple very noticeable moles around her mouth.

Oh, poor you. I guess I'm lucky, no one has tried to convert me yet. (And when that happens, all hell wil break loose)
