what do you do when those annoying Jehovah witnesses come to you door?

Question

What's the best way to get rid of them. I was thinking of whipping my Junk out at while they are talking. lol

ARNAR- LOL

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but you won't call again for "6 months to a year?" HOW is that respecting someones wishes? I've lived in my house for 10 years. I know some people move around a lot but seriously, how many people do you know that move every 6 months? It's not respectful to peoples wishes!

Damm! I'm always nice to JWs too. I gave an old lady a pair of gloves once. But this "6 months to a year" thing irks the snot out of me.

Answer 2

For one thing you can be a good example of graciousness. Then they will not able to turn around and say to their congregation AND THEY WERE ALL SO RUDE AND NASTY. I open the door, say goodmorning and say "I am not interested in your religion so please, advise your church that I do not want you to call again. But meantime I wish you much peace and love and have a really good day>" They get this really confused look on their face, not knowing how to answer, then I gently close the door. If we can be positive under these circumstances, it does not give anybody reason to report back with negative statements about whom they met. We should always be a good example to those we disagree with, to show that there are kind, understanding, accepting people outside of their own group. I always have conversations with the Mormon Missionaries, because they have the opposite attitudes. They are usually very nice, friendly young men, who will accept, when you say you are not interested, and thank me for my time. I have made friends with Mormon Missionaries in the past, friendships that have lasted a long time. We have to feel the energy of those we come in contact with, because that will never steer you wrong.

Answer 3

If you want to learn the best way to get rid of them, simply call a local SYBAGOGUE.

Ask the RABBI how they got rid of the Christian Jews some 1900 years ago, when they came around to the doors of their brethren trying to tell them that the faith and religious celebrations that they had followed for hundreds of years was no longer valid?

Answer 4

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 5

Why be so rude about it? I am not a JW but I always try to show and act with respect. The bible tells us to be kind to each other and to love one another. Being rude and slaming doors is not the way. A kind no thank you or I am not interested seems to work better.

Answer 6

Respectfully tell them no thanks. Reallly, they are typically very nice people who are just doing what they believe is right. You obviously don't have to listen to them, but can be kind. We all need to put the hatred or our differences in belief behind us and see each other as fellow members of the world. I'm not a Jehovah Witness, but I have talked to them a few times, and enjoyed it (not to say I believe some of what they say); it allowed me to better understand them. It doesn't hurt to understand people. Good luck what ever you do.

Answer 7

I am one. If you really don't want us to call, you can either put a sign on your door (stating specifically that you don't want JWs) or you can ask us politely to never call again. If you do, we will make a record of it and will not call for six months to a year. The reason we go back in the six months or a year is in case you have moved and the new residents feel differently (often we find that they do) or if your circumstances/interests have changed and you don't mind our calls (often we find that these do too).

There's no need to be rude about it.

Answer 8

Their intentions are good, even though I don't subscribe to all they have to say. Nicely tell them you are busy, or tell them you have other beliefs and do not want them to come to the door. You'll figure something.

Answer 9

Actually, I enjoy chatting with them if I have the time. If I'm busy at the time that they stop by, I ask them to come back another time.

Answer 10

the last time they came to my door before I moved, the house was in a devil of a mess and was trying to get the cleaning done. these ladies were very nice and I offered to listen to them while we cleaned the house. guess the two who visited were to good to do housework as they went " bye - bye " rather quickly.
