WHY don't you jehova witness parassites don't voluntarily join jehova in his king or queen-doom, such as commit sewercide just as good cult or sectarian members would do, so that you can stay away permanetly from my house.????

Jehovah's Witnesses will honor a clearly-stated request to discontinue their visits to a particular household. Most congregations in the United States do try to share Christ's "good news" at least once or twice a year with the householders in their territory.

Since they ask nothing of the householder but a moment of dignity, it seems odd to insult and demean their volunteer work. Yet Jehovah's Witnesses work to please God, and understand that their godly work will displease a few.

(1 Thessalonians 2:4) We speak, as pleasing, not men, but God, who makes proof of our hearts.

(Matthew 6:20,21) Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. They are Christian (of course), but they are unique for their rejection of paganisms, use of God's personal name, and global preaching by every active adherent. No other religious organization can claim such purity of worship.

These facts about Jehovah's Witnesses are perhaps relevant to this question. The more one compares this Christian religion with others, the more remarkable it is shown to be.

1. Jehovah's Witnesses have no paid clergy. Yet they remain tightly organized with more than 6.5 million active Jehovah's Witness preachers (about 16 million associate themselves with the religion). Even fulltime preachers and workers at their branch offices are unpaid volunteers.

2. There is no elite class among Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the few 'anointed' among them enjoy no special privileges in their congregations on earth. An anointed person (one of those relative few with a heavenly hope) is not elevated above his fellow congregants in any way, and he may not even qualify for appointment as a simple 'deacon' or elder. There are no titles; EVERYONE is addressed as 'brother' or 'sister'.

3. No person benefits economically from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Even the 8 to 20 men who serve on their Governing Body receive simply room, board, medical care, and reimbursement for certain personal expenses according to the exact same provision as every other branch volunteer.

4. About a hundred men have served on Jehovah's Witnesses' Governing Body committee during the past 125 years or so. The vast majority of them have spent the vast majority of their adult lives volunteering for their organization's purposes, and the vast majority have died faithfully and near-pennilessly while still under their legal 'vow of poverty'.

5. Amazingly, Jehovah's Witnesses did not splinter as a sect from some other religion. Instead, a truly tiny but sincere group of bible students studied only the Scriptures to determine the will of God. Thus their religion remains absolutely independent of and not carrying the sins of Christendom's history, yet carries the authority of Christ's teachings.

6. Despite the distortions of anti-Witnesses, throughout their modern history Jehovah's Witnesses have refused to claim divine inspiration or infallibility for their teachings. They have pointed to the bible (and not any particular translation) as the only inspired infallible means of knowing God's thoughts. For over 125 years, their teachings have been presented as merely the results of sincere bible research by imperfect but godly humans.

Well it could be a couple of things. One could be another member of your household is in fact interested.
Please understand that most humans have lives. As we live things happen and we change, what we like one day, we might not like the next. All we are doing is offering an encouraging word and a chance for a spiritual interchange. Coming twice a year does not seem that hard a thing. If it is causing you such distress you may ask your local congregation to not visit you anymore. However, as you might move we will still need to visit periodically.

Now as for your comment about us. You say you politely tell us too not come back, yet you cannot even ask a question without being incredibly rude. Your question is hard to understand due to the poor grammar. The Bible tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. We are not Parasites. We are not cultists. If we were Parasites we would not freely give. We do not believe in suicide. Life is a gift from Jehovah. I am sure, judging by your question, that anyone who sees you is more than happy to leave.

I personally think the chalk outline idea is extremely funny. I love going to houses where the people have a sense of humor.

PS Charlene once claimed she had Nothing against Witnesses, yet I see her answering queries and saying how much she finds us annoying, how odd.

Just twice a year? Lucky. We have Mormons AND JWs knocking on our door at least a couple of times a month. We even used to have a couple of little old ladies that would ring the doorbell and if they didn't get an answer would steak us out. They'd sit there for an hour or so watching the house. That's okay, I'd continue about my day--even leave the house. If they approached me I acted like I didn't hear a thing. That is, after I'd already told them numerous times that I wasn't interested.

They're usually friendly, but we've had a couple that were pushing the envelope of what most would consider civility. I keep wondering...what part of: Not interested in your club--thanks! do they not understand? The car windsheild repair man has a lot in common with them. He comes by trying to sell us a new windsheild about as often. However, I find it far more likely that my windsheild might break at some point than my resolve about joining the Witness or Mormon club changing. How do I get on their do-not-call list? Do I have to phone the church or Kingdom Hall and whine?

The bit about pulling a Jim Jones is unduly harsh, though. Although, I confess, there have been some times I've wanted to draw a chalk outline or two on the ground and surround it with a book of Mormon and an Awake or two.

there isn't any way, Brother. Even my 6 year previous daughter is familiar with whom Michael is. it kind of feels very no longer likely that she became incredibly one among Jehovah's Witnesses and not comprehend an significant and easy doctrine of our believes and teachings. She even claimed to be a pioneer...extra probable she had a 'Pie on ear' if she did no longer pay attention or take any observe of the reality that Jesus and Michael are an identical individual. It became yet another classic case of somebody mendacity to fireside up hatred against Jehovah's Witnesses, basically it lower back fireplace her has she had no information to lower back up her unsuitable tale. She actually could have been going to the e book learn, if she became a JW and how many circumstances have we studied the Revelation e book? 5 circumstances a minimum of and the e book makes it so sparkling that Jesus is Michael. Nope, i'm sorry, she is the two mendacity or she has grow to be so caught up with apostates and their twisted questioning that she as additionally twisted her very own thoughts of being one among Jehovah's Witnesses. Oh! and that's vast which you confirmed scriptural information. :-)

Well, first off we don't commit suicide as a "good cult member" would do obviously because we are not a cult.

As for why we "bother" you twice a year when you don't want us at your house...We are merely doing what Jesus himself told us to do in Matthew 28:19,20 to make disciples and teach them about his Kingdom. We do so out of love for God and love for our neighbor. Which includes you. :-)

Besides, if we stopped coming to your house...how would we know if someone new moved in who WANTED us to come visit them? Or...sometimes - believe it or not - people's circumstances change and when they once were very opposed to us, now want to listen.

And to be honest, if you're only getting called on twice a year under protest...think of those in other areas who get called on more often. You can handle muting the TV, shushing the kids and peeking out your blinds while we knock twice a year, can't you? ;-)

We go from house to house because that is how Jesus commanded his followers to preach to others. We are fulfilling the prophecies found at Matthew 24:14 and Matthew 28:19 and in doing this, we obey a direct command from Jesus himself. The message that we bring involves the lives of people, so we do not want to miss anyone. We do this out of love, first for God and also for our neighbors.
Why not listen to us sometime. Perhaps you will like learning about God's heavenly government and all the wonderful blessings it will bring to the earth and to all the meek ones who inherit it. Psalm 37:9-11

JW loves you so much that they preached the Kingdom Of Heaven that very soon will replace the all kingdoms of the worlds that ruled by earthly rulers. And for their love as Jesus commanded and hoping everyone will know the truth and no one will be annihilated by the end of days called the Armageddon.

You fear them so much that a twice a year call raises your hackles?

When told not to return, they check back every six months to see if someone has moved, or things have changed. My stepfather, a Korean War Vet, was very much against them. He has now been a witness for over 40 years.

Maybe they think your special. I live in an apartment building and I never thought they would be buzzing my apartment. Our buildings have cameras though so I can screen who I let in. But for some reason in particular it's me they buzz, I see them leave and not even try other people. Maybe someone who once lived in my home was interested...maybe someone who would listen to their speaches once lived in your home. I understand, it's annoying, but tell them you are not interested and they will go away. They will run if you tell them you worship the devil.
