I got fed up with them coming around regularly to pawn their religion on
me. I sent a letter to their local church to tell them I did no want
them coming around and that they would be charged with trespassing. It
worked. That was probably 30 years ago. Years later they called and
asked me about that letter and asked if it was still in effect or would
I accept a visit. I said that it was still effect and not to come. I
have not heard from them since.
