Nut encounter of the religious kind

I had a housecall last night. From a religious nutter. First time that's happened to me in Japan! It was very exciting. I was just polishing off a probably over indulgent serve of pineapple when the doorbell rang. I was in a half a mind to ignore it, but thought it might be my neighbour with some blankets I had asked to borrow. I opened the door to a late middle aged woman who launched into a "Where are you from?" question without so much as a salutation appropriate for the time of day, or an introduction of herself. My reaction was to say nothing and stare at her at which point she started suggesting countries, "Australia? Peru?" I had then recollected myself enough to ask her "Who are you then?". Instead of replying with a name she started crapping on about a religious organisation of some description and pointing vaguely behind her. Aha! A nutjob. Well that's easy enough to deal with. I gave her my best bemused smile as she explained that I might like to put my hand in the air for a few minutes while she checks to see how much bad energy I have going on and what that means for my chance of happiness over the next few years. Yeah, I didn't think that I wanted to do that. I told her that I don't believe in religious hocus pocus to which she replied that it didn't matter if I did or not, it still would work on me (refreshing after all those religions in Australia where if you don't believe you just go straight to HELL). She made a second attempt "Just put your hand up like this and see..." and kept raising her own hand up - like she was trying to get a child to put their pyjamas on, all coaxing me along. She finally twigged that I wasn't going to get involved and just left me with a parting gift - a pamphlet explaining her religious association. That went straight into the recycling. Who ARE these nutters who think that ambushing people in their own homes is a good recruitment method?
