Re: Off-Topic Topic
I think the best thing you could say to get them to go away would be to say you're one of them. But, I dislike encouraging lying... Unless it's true. xD Iunno about shocking them, though...
It's because they simply don't leave when others want them to that makes them annoying. It's not that I'm against the religion - certainly not - but it's the way they do it, talk about it. I have nothing against sharing their beliefs, talking about it, and all that, but I wish they would respect other people as well and not talk about it when people don't want them to, or overwhelm people with what they have to say. In one sense, it's good; they're going around sharing what they feel to be true. And at least they aren't afraid to do so. But there's a point when even Christians should respect others' beliefs. The more you insist, the more annoying it is, and the less likely they are to listen or consider what you're saying.
Just my opinion at least.

I was skeptical and tried to walk on, but one stopped me and promptly began to lecture me on how great Bob is. The others all nodded their heads in agreement and showered me with fliers. I took one to be polite and for them to go away but it only encouraged them. I sat on a nearby wall to wait for the bus but they began to point out the best spots on the flier and began to quote the thing WORD FOR WORD....luckily the bus eventually came and rescued me. Never thought I would be so happy to get on the bus...
Time to get a tranquilizar.
I think I spelled that wrong. :c
Heck, I need one too.

Gimme any religion to study, even a 'lesser' one no one's ever heard of, I won't be fuming and raging about blasphemy or any of that. In fact, even if I don't believe in some of it, most of it's quite interesting. :3 *specially Hindu and Buddism*

Re: Off-Topic Topic
We've only had Jehova's Witnesses knock on our door once since we've lived here. ALL the animals dropped what they were doing at the time and swarmed around their feet while my mom talked to them. You could see they were nervous. xD They handed us a flier, and left in a big hurry and never came back. xD

Lawl! We had a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses come to our door, but they weren't really annoying. They talked for minute, were very friendly, gave us a flier, and left. (after they pet my dog XD)

Pit bull. ♥ He's so big, I was kinda surprised when they didn't seem afraid of him at all. They were all like 'hay lil woggiiee' then talked a bit, gave us a card/flyer thing, and left.

Re: Off-Topic Topic
There is a black cherry tree a short walk from my house. I picked one and tasted it and it was great. I went back to get more and realized the one I ate was the only one within picking distance of the ground. T.T I've been craving another for hours. They taunt me from high up... I need one of those grabby arm things.
