Don't really mean this to be bad about "Jehovah Wittiness's " but I think people do some funny things when they are avoiding JW's. My neighbor one time told me that her daughter answered the door and her and her oldest daughter ran around screaming "Where's the D*mn Vodka". I know my husband has answered the door in his boxer briefs and they just said "oh....Im sry" and left. Do you have a funny story you heard or did?

I tell them I am a "Frisbiterian". I believe that when you die, your sole goes up on the roof and you can't get it down.

I say HI, My name is James how are you Brother/Sister. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses so it is always fun to have them at the door.
Meanwhile, one woman my Mom studied with was basically a hippie and when the first girl called on her this woman came to the door naked, and wanted to talk. The girl talked for a while then went and had Mom call back later. Turns out the Hippie was just REALLY uninhibited. She enjoyed studying. So just cause someone is naked or has a cross or a flag does not exactly turn us away.
PS Please do not show up nude or make sexual advances. Many Witnesses travel with minors or are minors. If some guy showed his Minime to my niece he would have a nice cell by days end, sorry but that is just the world we live in. I personally have had guys come to the door in boxers, and less, and since I am a dude I did not care. I said what I came to say we talked a while then I left. The easiest way to get us gone is to be honest. Say"I am not interested in talking thank you" and shut the door.

My stepfather use to do the boxer shorts, as well as destroy the books. He was Korean War vet.
He's now been a witness for over 40 years.
If people want to find the best way to deal with witnesses is to talk to a Rabbi.
Ask how the ancient Jews dealt with their fellow Jews who had converted to this Christianity cult, when they came around to their doors, telling them that the rituals, beliefs, and orbservances (holidays) that they had kept for 2000 years was no longer valid.

They showed up at my friends house and her whole family was in the kitchen and the JW asked what kind of religions were there and everyone picked a different one - Morman, Hebrew, Atheist, Lutheran (and proud of it) and 'one of those Catholic people'. The JW said ok and have a good day!

they don't pontificate to human beings basically to annoy them about there faith yet they do it because contained in the bible they are commanded to evangelise and make deciples. Alot of those witnesses take day vacation of there busy schedules to come back on your door free of value and there not paid for it which will share a desire from the bible to you about the destiny. They care a lot about human beings and they dont favor human beings to be destroyed at armaggedon. they must be heard and not in any respect criticized. in case you had a treatment for most cancers wouldnt you want the international to be certain about it too? or might want to you be egocentric and not in any respect share it with others. nicely the same with the witnesses they have a mandatory message to share with human beings and in the journey that they fail to pay interest then they are going to be destroyed at armaggedon yet in the journey that they pay interest they are going to be saved and stay continuously in a paradise earth loose from the wickedness we see precise this second and disease and shortage of existence. what might want to you somewhat chosen? i somewhat love the paintings they do and they ought to save it up. they ought to not stop

When they first began knocking we used to send my much younger brother to the door to say we were out. He went to the door and said my moms took the dogs out, then the dogs started barking, my brother panicked at being caught out lying, and stuttered, not that dog the other dog, that ones to little to go out (it was a great dame)
Now I just answer, chat to them about my life, they throw a bit of god in, hand me a magazine which I never read, and that's it.
Number 1- I cannot ignore someone at the door, who am I to be so impertinent as to assume they are inferior.
Number 2- They are not knocking your door to insult you, they are in their minds trying to save you

you don't need to be mean to them or lie, just tell them you are not interested.
I had 2 very nice young ladys stop by my home about 1 month ago. They asked if they could come in and talk, I said sure and listened to what they had to say. I was nice and enjoyed learning about another religion.
But, I didn't convert. I still think God is a bunch of BS.

Since only the neophytes go door to door as part of their training, I invite them in, and ask them questions they cannot possibly answer. Then they go away promising to return with an elder to answer the questions, but they never do come back.

The J.W. are only doing what the Bible tells all Christians to do. In fact, it says that if the people aren't interested in what you have to say, walk away and brush their dust off your feet. I think what they are doing is very Christian, I like hearing what they have to say, even though I don't agree with all of it. Can you imagine yourself doing what they do without any pay? Hmmm. Didn't think so.
