Ruth MottramI had Jehovah's Witnesses round this morning (not a very common occurrence round here).
Them: "Do you ever think about the future?"
Me: "I'm a climate scientist, I think it about the future all the time.."
BrianKrebs@Ruth_Mottram Growing up, my dad (a strong Catholic) used to welcome the Hare Krishnas, Jehovah's Witness, and the young men from the Mormon church who came by from time to time. He would sit out on the lawn and bring chairs out for everyone and offer peach daiquiris for them (they always refused). And then he'd try to convert them to Catholicism.
Orange Menace@briankrebs @Ruth_Mottram one of my uni housemates was a thoughtful but tenacious theology student. If the JWs or Mormon’s turned up, we’d just shout “John! Visitor for you…” and leave him to it.

My Dad let the Mormons in, argued for 2 hours, then referred them to 2 friends who "might be more interested", a militant atheist and a devout RC.
Mormons are the most off the wall of all.
