I just say no thank you and shut the door or walk on. never felt threatened but then very little threatens me! Can see how if you were the kind to worry or felt the need to continually be polite, even invite them into your home, then they could be threatening the same way that door to door salesmen can. I would never be rude because obviously their beliefs are genuine soo I always say no thank you and goodbye before closing the door!!
I never get accosted in the street because I don;t accept anything handed to me, and I don't respond to anyone who tries to stop me. If they stand in front of me, I glare at them (I'm a Scorpio!) - and they move pretty quickly.
I only got doorstepped once - I was on my way out of my flat to go to work, and as i opened the door, a JW said "I won't keep you long ...." "You got that right ...." I replied without breaking step, and carried on out of the building.
I never feel threatened, I accept that they feel they have something which they think I need, but they don't.
We used to get lots of young people working for charities, trying to stop people in the High Street but everyone seems to have got wise to the fact that all they want is a direct debit from you. They are very friendly but beware - they only want your money -- don't stop and talk to them unless you are really bored - and don't give them your bank details !
For a good three months, every weekend Jehovah Witnesses come calling on my door. They have a new subscription to their magazine and want to take about being saved. But everytime I tell them that I am already a believer then want to question if I am really saved just because I am not part of their certain religion. A few times I have gotten mad but most of the time I just want them to understand that its not which religion you are a part of but what is your true faith. It should be about finding that personal relationship with whoever you think is up there and striving to make this world a better place.
