How do you handle Jehovah's Witnesses?

Question

When the knock on your door... the Watchtower in hand... how do YOU handle it? I find answering the door naked has a desirable negative effect.

Answer 1

I say "We're Muslims." Then they leave. I don't really know what they're thinking (my guesses: "I didn't know they had Muslims in Canada!" or "These heathens cannot be saved, we don't have to preach to these ....... people." or maybe "How am I supposed to explain the concept of God to these people now, I have to be home for dinner!") But that usually stops them cold, because they know nothing about Muslims, so all of a sudden they're not holier than all the rest of thou Christians.
If you really want to throw them for a loop, ask them when they have their service at the Kingdom Hall, and go bang the door when they're halfway through. This has happened before, and yes, the police were called

Answer 2

Jehovah's Witnesses preach to others about Jehovah and His Kingdom in obedience to Jesus' command found at Matt.28:19,20 where Jesus instructed his disciples to "go there forth and make disciples of people of all the nations.....teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you...".
You can answer the door naked if you want to lower yourself to that immoral level.Or you could show some respect and listen to their message and hopefully learn something or be honest and let them know you are not interested in what the Bible has to say.
But answering the door naked isn't going to scare them away if that is your intention,because we serve Jehovah
God with everlasting life in view and face many trials and hostile reactions as a result of the work we do.Jesus warned his followers that they would be hated on account of his name.We know that and expect it.
We give up our time freely because of our love of God and neighbor.Just as the days of Noah,people didn't listen to Noah's message and the flood came...Today too, people are generally complacent about our message and yet God's war of Armageddon will come "as a thief" and those who dont' listen or don't obey will be 'swept away' also(Matt.24:37-42).

Answer 3

I literally did this, I saw three old women coming to my door for the umpteenth time on Wednesday. I had told them many times I was not interested, so the last time they came I went to the door buck naked told them I was an Atheist and at that present time I was looking for a new person to join my swingers club. They haven't come back and it has been over a year.

Answer 4

I am not home during the day, so I haven't had the pleasure very often. But I usually start telling them all about my own Church.
They usually won't hang around and listen very often.

That's true with any kind of "salesman." If you go on the offensive and just keep talking, like they were going to do...
they will often give up.

Another tip: when sales people try to get you answering their questions so they can steer you into their corner... just pick one line and keep repeating it over and over and over. They will soon find themselves at a dead end. It works.

Answer 5

Nice, next time invite them in. Ask them if they want some tea. Bring it out and than excuse yourself. Go into the next room, close the door and say real loud.... Honey we have some visitor's! I gave them the tea just like you said. In a couple minutes I'll go back out and drag them down to the basement. What a super day it's been!!! That oughta do the trick!!

Answer 6

I had a professor who said he has been doing that for years. He is a nudist. I just let them know that I can not read the watchtower because of the inaccurate portion and twisted facts. I tell them that I only read the Bible and I would be glad to read it to them or share it with them so they will know the truth. Then I give them a good "God Bless you" and keep moving. It works because it is true.

Answer 7

I will be your witness if you come out naked when I knock on your door next time. I want to eye witness that.

Answer 8

Gee where do U stay ? i don't mind knocking on your door if you come out like that ! LOL

Well you can try going out with a baphomat (I guess this is how you spell it - the symbol of Satanism) in your hand and get red contact lenses.

Answer 9

The way to handle them is to start reading the Gospel of John to them. Or you can put an American flag in your yard or on your door. I don't know why, but they have issues with the flag and stay away.

Answer 10

Even if they annoy you, I would encourage you to politely tell them that you're not interested and just close the door. I disagree with them but I respect both their dedication and right to their faith. Yes we have a right not to hear it and they will respect that too. Please only answer the door naked for a vacuum salesman, or a plumber (or me, where do you live?
