How do i get rid of an annoying jehovas witness?

Question

I have this lovely old lady visit me regularly, i made the mistake the first time of being polite and pretending to be interested in what she was saying because she was so cute and lovely and i didnt have the heart to say no thankyou. Now she comes around all the time trying to convert me to the ways of jehova, how can i get rid of her with out hurting her feelings.

Answer 1

i sugest you open your door a crack and say no thankyou and shut it again, works for me every time, oh and tell frankentein he's an idiot, being polite and not wanting to hurt people does not make you fake, it makes you a decent person.

Are you sure you want to discontinue this relationship?

If so, then you must tell her the truth, she will appreciate the truth; because She knows without a doubt in her heart: She has the Truth. Tell Her the truth just as you wrote in your question. It will probably not be easy, I suggest that you rehearse your dialogue, letting Her know that you are through and that it is your wish for the kind little ol lady to not come by your house anymore.

Rest assured She will pray for you. She may even mourn you. There is a strong possibility She may turn you over to someone else, maybe someone younger, maybe a husband and wife. If you have been meeting with her regularly for quite some time and you want to "discontinue the relationship", you need to let her know that it is over and you do not want anyone from her church to come by your house.

This is not going to be easy.

Make it a matter of prayer.

Be loving and kind.

Pray.

'Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses preach from house to house?'

Have you consider, how Education SHOWS us how to think; Yet, propaganda TELLS you what to think? You should not go by what people tell you. Truth that is examined means to make comparisons, calmly and objectively weighing the facts and the arguments presented, and then being willing to pay the cost; For the truth will cost something. (See counseled at Proverbs 23:23) You have that choice no others.

This may explain Scripturally why they do so:
Jesus foretold for our day this work: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” He also instructed his followers: “Go . . . and make disciples of people of all the nations.”—Matt. 24:14; 28:19.
At Revelation 3:19, 20 Jesus says: “Look! I am standing at the door and knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into his house and take the evening meal with him and he with me.”
He [Jesus] pictures himself as standing and knocking at your door. What an amazing picture! Imagine it is your house and you are on your own, about to have the usual evening meal. Then suddenly you hear a knocking and a voice announcing who it is. The Lord himself! Why, of course, you would immediately invite him in. You would know that the real purpose of his call was to give you the benefit of a rich, upbuilding, spiritual feast and to enjoy precious communion with him in the homely atmosphere of personal friendship. Is that not what Jesus did when on earth?
Whiles Jesus was on earth he sent out his early disciples, he directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matt. 10:7, 11-13) The apostle Paul said regarding his ministry: “I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house.”—Acts 20:20, 21; see also Acts 5:42.

So the message that the "Witnesses" proclaim involves the lives of people; they want to be careful to miss no one. (Zeph. 2:2, 3) Their calls are motivated by love—first for God, also for their neighbor. So when Jehovah’s witnesses stand at your door and knock remember Jesus’ words to his witnesses: “He that receives you receives me also.” And, “Where there are two or three met together in my name, there I am in their midst.” That is now the way to have a spiritual meal with Christ. That is your opportunity. And your responsibility.—Rev. 3:20; Matt. 10:40; 18:20, NW.

Ps. perhaps you may like to ask them, who is Jehovah? (See Exodus 6:3; Psalms 83:18 KJV)

Answer 4

Well, you need to tell her you just don't believe and are thinking about studying witchcraft. JW's stay away from people like that in fear of being possesed by demons. I grew up as a JW, and let me say, just not answering the door doesn't work. Right now, she will continue to come until she gets you to go to the meetings unless you tell her straight up that you want nothing to do with the religion. Being nice will make them think you are interested in the religion. Being nasty and threatening them will get you on the "do not knock" list. There actually is a list of beligerent people in which doors they no longer go too. I remember going witnessing one day with my mom, and we saw the guy standing on his porch demanding we not dare come to his house. My mom didn't know he was on the list and attempted to go, but then one of the brothers told her about him.

Answer 5

Convert her to Christianity.

If she really does accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her savior, she will end up thanking you in the end.

That way you're getting rid of an annoying Jehova's Witness and replacing her with a good friend.

Answer 6

I agree with the honest approach...

Tell her that while you enjoy her visits, you will not be converting to her religion under any circumstances. Be very firm with this statement. I had a similar situation many, many years ago, and I was not firm enough in that statement. My then-husband was...I never saw the little ladies again! I actually missed their visits after that!

Perhaps you could suggest having an occasional tea with her to discuss anything other than politics & religion. More than likely, she will not be back though...good luck.

Answer 7

You need to be straight with her and tell her that you don't agree with the teachings of the Jehovah Witnesses. If she continues, politely ask her to leave and not to come back. Let her know that should she drop the conversion routine that you would not mind her visiting.

Answer 8

You should've done like the rest of us do, pretend your not home. But since you didnt, well tell her the truth. I appreciate your concern for me, but I am not interested in learning anymore about jehovahs witness' religion. Thank you and Good day.

Answer 9

Buy a gun, no wait hear me out.

Buy a gun and then take it to peices, then put it in a safe place along with a cloth. Then the next time she comes acalling, invite her in, be polite etc etc.

Take the peices out and just sit and there polishing them, nothing else, just polishing. I garantee she will fall over herself to get out of there...

Or politley say that you are not interested in becoming a Jehovah's witness. I doubt you'll be able to avoid offending her, but that's just one of those annoying facts of life.

Answer 10

Don't answer your door, even if you politely turn them away, they still will record how long they spent at your door, when I found this out, I was so offended, not that they come around, but because they run off a point system!

Put a sign on your door that helps

Answer 11

You could always dress up as a pagan (with the body paint and the tribal garb) and tell her that you are sacrificing a chicken and that she can come back later.

[Please note that I am not ridiculing pagans, but people have such weird and bizarre notions as to what a pagan does, abetted by Hollywood movies, that this is an idea that she will recognize and potentially, never come back]
