There are some jahova's witnesses knocking door to door on our street at the moment.
What is the best thing to say to them when they get to my house...... to make them GO AWAY without hassling me. :)

To "elquapo" there are more Catholics that become Jehovah Witnesses than from any other religion.

In all my years in the Ministry, going from house to house, I have never encounter a hostile disagreement face-to-face, as in some of your explanations that you give when a Witness comes to your door. You people have a fantasy mind, Hyponym: bubble, dream, fairyland, fantasy life, fantasy world, ignis fatuus, phantasy life, phantasy world, pipe dream, science fiction, will-o'-the-wisp, wishful thinking. Most of your explanations are nothing more than untruths. Which you have never said or did.

When I go from house to house, someone may tell me that they are on the phone, busy, or not interested, I simply say, “maybe some other time” and have a nice day, go to the next home, there is always someone that is nice & wants to talk about God's Word.

For those that say they come to the door “nude” all I would say is “you must be missing some brain cells” because no one in their right mind would deliberately come to the front door because of a Religious Organization knocking or ringing doorbell. By the way, each State has facilities, a building or place that provides a particular service, that take care of people like this, they are called a “Mental Institute.”

I don't believe as the Jehovah Witness people believe, but I do applaud their effort. What other religion is always walking the streets in all kinds of weather just to preach?I don't answer the door if they knock, but if they happen to catch me I will give them a donation and take their little books. One time it was rainy and cold and I was approached by them at the gas pump. I told them I didn't have time now, but as I was driving off God laid it on my heart that I had done the wrong thing. So I turned around and went back to the store. I gave them a donation. I figure that it doesn't hurt to be nice to anyone.

The preaching work carried out by Jehovah's Witnesses is very organized. The door-to-door ministry is carried out systematically. A do not call list is kept for each neighborhood to track those who do not want Witnesses to call at their door.

If you never want Witnesses to come to your door, you can ask to be put on the do not call list. You should not need to resort to threats of any nature to do this or even claim to be Catholic.

I am not sure, but they may check at infrequent intervals to see if you still live there (people do move of course) and if you move you may need to request this again the next time they stop by.

If you ever change your mind, they are not hard to find of course.

Answer your door naked.

I'm not sure if that will work, but it will be fun.

I do have a secret way to get rid of them, however. I have discussed it with their 'elders' and there is only one way that is sure to work: Physical violence or the threat thereof, along with a personal declaration to the church that such violence will continue if any representative of their organization enters your property for any reason.

According to my sources, the number of people on their "do not call" lists for any given area is about 1 out of 5000 or less.



To avoid all this confrontation, you could just say "Oh hello! I have heard your message, and I am still not interested. Thank you for coming by. God bless."

I just don't answer the door. But if you feel compelled to answer then just say you appreciate their efforts and at the present time you are not interested. But thank you and have a nice day.... then you shut the door. I always do that. I don't want to disrespect them...they are only following their heart..but they don't have to cram it down your throat either. In any case, just be nice and go on about your way! Good luck.

Invite them in, then act like you have a real mental problem. Suddenly stop speaking to them in the middle of a sentence and just smile strangely, ask your invisible friend in your pocket for his opinion, that kind of thing. Offer to make them your "special" drink. freaks them out no end. They have finally met somebody madder than they are.
