"While whole towns do not have the right to legally bar door to door visitors, householders or residents are free to place signage or request that people not visit them at their door. Remember that this right is intertwined in this country with freedom of speech, which many want to use for themselves but sometimes do not want to give to others who they do not agree with..."
Man, I can just hear the hen clucking now...
I'd circulate a sign-up sheet and get EVERYONE in town to sign it. The town 'may not' have the right to legally bar door-to-door work - and that JW statement is a bit 'iffy' - there may be legal ways around that - but if the ENTIRE TOWN signs up for "Do Not Call", that should send a very loud and clear message to the self-righteous busybodies out early - or even not-so-early - on weekends, seeking converts...
Interesting that What-A-Coincidence mentioned a poster's experiences in a college town... Someone posted an article within the last two weeks on the tendency of cults to target college students because of their heightened vulnerability... I know that the JWs don't call in THIS neighborhood - a 'bedroom community' with a fairly active Homeowners' Association - AT ALL, anymore...
Wonder how things are in the nearby college towns???
