Unwanted contact in it's various forms and what I do about it. Some OT.

One of the biggest annoyances in this day and age is the number of unwanted contacts we are subjected to. The key to stopping it is knowing what you have control over and what you do not.

If anyone else has more ideas, or better ones, I want to know about them!

Junk snail mail:
I put every single paper sent to me in their self addressed, stamped envelope, write REMOVE over our name/address and return the whole fat envelope to them.

Telemarketing phone calls.
I have put our phone numbers on a Do Not Call List.
Telemarketers that get through:
I repeatedly punch the same number over and over until they hang up. I rarely get a call back.
Other times, I tell them to remove our number and that usually works.

Email Spam:
Delete, and often block the sender.

Pests that won't listen to "NO" - get off my property --I threaten to call the police (with my cell phone in my hand) and have them arrested for trespassing. Threats have worked, so far!

Those sweet smiling, happy faced LDS FOlks at your door, or on the phone.....

The first method with LDS folks that won't take "no" for an answer is to resort to the F word, which, has the same effect as a personal attack by Satan! (I rarely use the word, don't particularly like it, but it does have it's uses! )

Second Method, even more like a Satan attack!
When I have had persistent,inappropriate, rude contact from LDS Folks, (missionaries, for instance) I use my Front Door Sign and watch them read it. It's priceless.

My Door Sign to keep the Mormons away.
Once they read it, it spreads through the Mormon Grape Vine like wild fire, which is what I counted on. :-) This will stop the request for "No Contact" which does not work well with the Mormons, or even Resignation that is not respected and contact is made.


NOTICE:

I am under no obligation to:
avoid all loud laughter,
lightmindedness,
evil speaking of the lords anointed
or any other impure or unholy practice

Enter at you own risk
Rachel, My New Name

(Big Smiley Face here!)

I put it on the inside of the window in my door then I watched the Mormons that came to my door read it! It was priceless. Only needed to use it once for a short time.

For those that have been to the temple, this statement is from The Law of the Gospel, one of the temple covenants. As the temple is so sacred it is not to be discussed, seeing this statement on a door can be quite a shock! And humorous to observe the reader.

Law of the Gospel: We are required to give unto you the Law of the Gospel as contained in the Holy Scriptures; to give unto you also a charge to avoid all lightmindedness, loud laughter, evil speaking of the Lord's anointed, the taking of the name of God in vain, and every other unholy and impure practice, and to cause you to receive these by covenant.
