Subject: RE: BS: Religious Canvassers
I was home this week working around the house. I was puttering with something, turned around and there were 2 men dressed in long black coats standing outside my door (big window in the door) and they were just standing there watching me. They hadn't knocked. It was almost creepy. Meanwhile, my 120 pound dog was laying in front of the door. She had her head up and knew something was going on. As I walked to the door, she sat up, ears up. One of the men started tapping on the door and she stood up. I took hold of her collar, opened the door slightly, leaving the storm door closed. My dog was quiet but very alert, I could feel the tension in her body. So...the door was open and still, these two men in long black winter coats and hats stood there....didn't say a word. So I said, "Can I help you?"   I wasn't sure what they wanted and their agenda was not clear until they started to speak. I politely told them that I attended a church I liked thinking they would say okay and go away. Wrong. "I know you THINK you may go to a God loving church but.............." Meanwhile, my dog is now growling a low rumble. The longer the man spoke, the more she growled. I simply stopped him by saying, "I'm really not interested." and I closed the door. I think they should have left right away, I think that they are idiots to stand in front of a huge dog who clearly does not appreciate their presence, an obvious unwelcome sign.   I wonder how long they were there. The watching thing creeped me out the most.
