just had two Jehovah's witnesses at the door, how do you get rid of them?

Question

i never know what to say to them, so i end up standing there for ages, and im really not interested.

Answer 1

tell them that we are going to hell and they are first on the bus so go get fucked

Answer 2

I have 2 methods for dealing with this sort of caller:

1) my father's favourite... I'm pagan and so is everyone in this house! this sometimes backfires as they view you as a challenge, and this sometimes causes repeat calls.

2) (this never fails but it is time consuming, and does require preparation.) basically you engage them in a long winded but critically questioning discussion. firstly this ruins their schedual! secondly a lot of time the people doing the door to door, are neonates, and their knowledge doesnt bear up to much scrutiny and they rapidly become out of their depth, this causes them to blacklist your address for calls.

the only problem with this method is it requires a certain degree of background knowledge from an unbiased source, you need the ludricrous details as well as the facts. Eg. Mormonism was started by a guy who transcribed the Book of Mormon which roughly amounts to the King James bible from 2 gold tablets of angelic script translated using crystal glasses, then reburied them in his garden they were never found. (you can tell its the KJ bible, has the same translation mistakes from when the KJB was taken from latin to english, each biblical version has its own errors and characteristics like a finger print)

the other downside is that this approach is a lot more long winded than the telling them youre pagan. on the other hand it has been so successful that I only had to do it once.

Good luck on your next encounter.!!

Answer 3

Enjoy the opportunity, have a chat with them and prevent them from bothering anyone else, consider it charity for the neighbourhood. Who knows it might be worth trying to convert them.

When I lived with my parents, I had some JW's come round while everyone else was out. I had a most enjoyable chat, pointing out the many flaws in their arguments, (I was part of a Christian debating group at university) and had made my Christian commitment years ago. They asked if my father was in, looking rather overwhelmed, I told them "No, I'm afraid he's at a funeral." When they tried to offer sympathy I gently corrected them "You don't understand, he's the actually the vicar conducting the service. Didn't you know this is the vicarage?" Pointed at the vicarage sign next to the door.

Answer 4

Tell them
" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son, that who ever believeth in him shall not be perished but will have everlasting life"
or how would they interpret the words that Jesus said
" no one comes to the father except through the son"
Or if you cant remember that
As them how much money does the Pennsylvanian Bible Tract Society ( official name for the Jehovah's )make from its magazines every month?

Answer
Every Jehovah must buy them from the kingdom hall for approx £1 each, and distribute them. Combined the two magazines have a circulation World wide of 20 million, that's a minimum of £20 MILLION A MONTH.

I'm in the wrong business!

Answer 5

When anyone comes to my door, trying to sell me something/convert me etc., I just tell them I NEVER deal with cold callers of any kind. Then I shut the door. Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses are usually fairly identifiable so you can always look through the spyhole first, and just not bother answering.

Answer 6

Every true Christian goes from door to door to teach his neighbors about the Bible's good news. It is interesting that only Jehovah's Witnesses are so clearly identified with the preaching work; globally more than 6 million preach publicly each month.

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you.

(Acts 5:42) Every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus.

(Acts 20:20) I did not hold back ...from teaching you publicly and from house to house


It's sad when someone who claims to respect the bible actually insults or even advocates attacking a peaceful preacher. Sad but completely expected.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching... You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.


Incidentally, the typical Jehovah's Witness knocks at hundreds of doors each year. He has already experienced degrading behavior from householders, some of whom: stand there naked, mimic Satanists, proposition lewd acts, brandish weapons, sic dogs, scream profanities, accuse crimes, and call Witnesses anti-American (inside the USA) or pro-American (outside the USA).

Fascists have called Witnesses "communists". Communists have called Witnesses "fascists".

Haven't you ever heard of 'hedging your bets'? Simple risk vs. reward analysis should make anyone very reluctant to abuse these ministers.

(Acts 5:38,39) I say to you, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”

Jehovah's Witnesses are going to knock on your door unless you specifically and unequivocally tell them that you do not want them knocking, or if they fear for their own safety. Nothing else will really deter them, so you would be going to a lot of effort to accomplish nothing but pleasing Satan.


Really, if someone goes out of their way to disregard Christian preachers and preaching, what is he saying about himself?

(Luke 10:1-17) After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

Answer 7

Say 'I don't want to be rude, but I'm really not interested, bye.' If they carry on say 'I've told you I'm not interested, I'm closing the door now.' If they persist, shut the door. You never asked them to come and talk to you, they have no right to be there. They really annoy me. I put a sticker on my door saying 'We don't buy or sell at this door' and I wrote under it 'And absolutely no religious groups - you have been warned'.

Answer 8

When you know which day they will come, prepare yourself for them. Get dressed and made up like a goth and put some heavy music on and answer the door like that. That always gets rid of ours. I don't understand why they have to advertise their religion in such a way, if we want to change our religion we will go out ourselves and change it.

Answer 9

Get youself a book on something like wicca from the library, learn a bit about it and then, when they arrive, explain "your beliefs". It doesn't take long for them to rush off before you put spells on them.
Alternatively, look seriously at them and tell them that you're sorry but you're not superstitious.

Answer 10

It is easy to ignore them and they will soon go away. But I find them so annoying that I prefer to answer and tell them that a "religion" that needs to recruit new adherents in this way is not a religion I would be at all interested in.

Answer 11

Hi Jackie

I had a old Grim Reaper costume I used at a party. One day I seen them heading toward my house and put it on and I opened to door, you should have seen their faces.
