I have no authority over the missionaries so I can't instruct them to do or not to do anything. Actually they would much prefer to be invited to share the Gospel with people who have already expressed a desire to know and requested that they call but when that doesn't happen then they go out looking for people who might be interested but wouldn't know how to reach them, or even may not realise they want to know until they hear.

If you tell them specifically that you do not want any missionaries ever to call at your door again then they should make a note of that and pass it on.

However, having said that they are young and they are keen and they are enthusiastic and they are optimistic and they hope that either a) you will change your mind at some point in the future and be glad that they called again (not so far fetched as I have actually known this to happen) or b) you may have moved house and the new occupant may actually want to hear what they have to say.

If you were to question our church members about how they came to be members of the church you'll find a large percentage of them will tell you it is because the missionaries called at their home one day. Those people are glad that they did.

If you don't want to know then just tell them that. No-one will ever try to force anyone to join our church. That would be pointless. It has to be because people want it.

I've had Jehovah's Witnesses call here and I have no intention of ever becoming one but we've had some very long and interesting discussions and agreed to disagree without any animosity.
