Ok, for those of you, who are not Mormons, Jehova's Witnesses, or any onther sect, that wants to you to sit and pray with them. You may find this less offensive.

About 10 years ago, I bought a "grey alien" Haloween mask. Its pretty cool. Its got the transparent giant black eyes, the whole bit is pretty convincing. I now keep this mask in the hallway on a hook. When the "I will convert you" Religious minions, show up at my door, I no longer send them away. I invite them inside, put on the mask, Invite them to sit on the couch, and let them tell their story. I say very little, I nod ocassioanally. Not once has any single one of them mentioned the mask. It's a truly fun experiment, and I now look forward to those people showing up.

I know, I'm bad. But if I die without having some fun, I will be truly dissapointed.

I have a feeling this thread will die.

If anything this should be in the hoax forum no?

I fail to see how this is a conspiracy or worthy of ATS.

If you have let them it, they hit the "jackpot" and they dont care about the mask.As long as they deliver the message (in fact they must be thinking "wow! what a weirdoe")

I personally think thats funny as heck.

As a non mormon living in utah, I have often found myself in this same situation. My favorites are answering the door naked and handing the missionaries the xbox controller.

What 18-19 year old boy can resist an xbox controller?

I have literally no clue as to why this in the general conspiracies forum, but I must say, I like your style. Another fun one could be answering the door wearing devil horns and a red silk cape. Then invite them inside and make sure they see some lovely pictures of the devil adorning your walls.

I appreciate the humor.

I found out by accident one day that if you just answer the door with a snake wrapped around your neck they don't even want to come in anymore. Mine was on accident though... I promise

A roommate and I had a much better way of having fun.

Being a spiritual folk but a libertarian, I believe everyone should just leave everyone else alone.

We came up with this, let them in. Before they start the spiel, go into yours. Tell them that the Church of Lucifer is just misunderstood. You will be left alone for now on.

Can we not petition the TATSPTB for a humour Forum?

OK that's where I am gong now!

Although FUNNY! very FUNNY!

lol!!!

i have always loved messing with those guys.

you know who i have found to be worse than the JWs?? recently it has been those dered home security system salesmen... at least the JWs only come on saturdays, these guys show up at all hours on all days.

i finally answered the door with my shotgun and kindly demonstrated my version of home security. oddly enough they have not returned!

Well, you answered my question as to who should we send to greet any potential Alien visitors.

I couldn't do it, wouldn't be able to control myself from asking silly questions, such as

Dissected any Cow Bladders lately?
Does that come in Man size as well?
Is there life on Uranus?
Are you Eyeballing me?

Nope, I would not leave a very good impression at all.

LOL, did you really sit there with your mask on while they gave you their sermon? I can picture that somehow, their expression must have been priceless. Wonder how they talked about it when they left? Gonna look for a mask myself, maybe they could relate to a smiley
