How about the thing about caffeine? Someone once told me it was as simple as it's just not good for your body and you should treat your body well and it's disrespectful to God to do otherwise.
And we've seen a few times that people say "I did X and they never came back". Do the missionaries actually have some sort of black book that lists addresses of people who don't want to see them? That seems like a real logistical nightmare and I've never seen missionaries consulting any sort of list. They just go from one house to the next, far as I can tell.
Anyway, I'm about as religious as a rock and I just don't understand the hostility to door-knockers. The "I'm not interested" routine has never failed me on my doorstep. All these elaborate plans to humiliate, berate or scare them off require a lot more effort than just acting civil.
