Batten the Hatches!

Tighten the sails and prepare for stormy weather folks. I have been assigned a Home Teacher.
Nicks a nice enough guy but after my encounter with the stake president I'm feeling my oats. So, this will be my first home teacher in my two years of being uninvolved with the church. I am a little giddy actually.
Any advice?

If he is in your neighborhood, it would be wise to not be offensive to him.

Sweet Jesus!
I had the same sitch about a year ago.
I told the bishie and EQ idiot to keep their minions away from my home.
The complied for a while but decided it was time to send in a spy, so they assigned HTs.
I was right up front with them and told them I no longer believed in Joseph Smith et al and that this HT crap was senseless and I would not invite them in the next time.
Three months later another pair showed up and I did not let them in and told them to please leave my property. Needless to say, we had a lengthy discussion coated in truth.
I then emailed the EQ idiot and bishie and told them if they send any more minions over, the bishop might have two more apostasies on his hands..
So my suggestion is to be upfront. Ask them the following:
"If the church was not TRUE, would you want to know?"
After they fumble and futz over your frankness, tell them you wanted to know and you found out... that is was not "TRUE".
They are there for your amusement, and their enlightenment,
-PP
Enjoy!

Why?
Being a "known inactive", he is already an outcast if he lives in a Mormon neighborhood.

Nope, hes not. Why? Should I be offensive to him even though he is not in my neighborhood?
I am going to be as frank as possible.
