I was just going to mention something about that in the market researchers thread because I lump marketers (not necessarily researchers) in with the JW's and Mormon missionaries who come to my door. What makes the situation worse for me, is that I have been baptized Mormon, although I am no longer "active", and haven't been for twenty years, and have no intention of ever "re-activating". However, since I am on their books so to speak, I get phone calls and house calls from missionaries and home teachers three or four times a year, until I get rude enough with whoever it is, so they realize I don't want them around. By the way, I just got one last night, a home teacher, who happens to be a lawyer in downtown Calgary. I have been contemplating calling his office to retain a lawyer to get a restraining order against a church that has been harassing me.

Just get them to bring the paper for you to offically sign to get your name off the list then--simple as that, until you do that no reason to complain about harassment.
My buddy did that. [/b][/quote]
I have done that, usually once a year, whenever a new missionary gets assigned my case. I say to them, in the politest manner possible, "What do I have to do to get you guys to leave me alone? Don't call me, I'll call you."
I have been told that I would have to write a letter to the local Bishop, then get interviewed, then send the request to Salt Lake asking to be excommunicated. I can't be bothered, and shouldn't be as far as I am concerned. They should respect my privacy when I request it, and not expect me to jump through hoops.
As far as the harassment comment goes, it was tongue in cheek. I know I wouldn't have a case *yet*, but it would be fun to turn the tables and make him feel awkward having somebody in his environment, that's all.
