Why do Jehovah's Witness come back,again and again after you've politely told them to get lost?

Answer 1

i just tell them the truth
i am a Pagan and i practice Wicca
they run like a bat out of HELL
see it pays to tell the truth sometimes
ahhh being native american can be worth is hehehe

Answer 2

Because you were polite. I've had JWs, Mormons and various other members of the lunatic fringe pounding on my door in spite of the "No Solicitors" sign, because they don't think they're selling anything. I used to be polite about it, but that doesn't work. They figure if you're nice, they still have a shot at you. Telling them you're an atheist is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. They see it as a challenge. Now, I threaten them with the police, because in my state ignoring a "No Solicitors" sign is trespassing. The thought of jail time gets through. Reminds me of the joke told by an old farmer: The best way to get a mule's attention is with a green two-by-four between the eyes.

Answer 3

My next door neighbors are Jehovah's Witnesses. They are nice people. They themselves don't bother me with their religion at all. Their friends, the same ones usually, come to our house every three or four months. I just smile, politely take their literature and close the door.

I am not bashing their religion and I give them a lot of credit for having as much faith as they do and they are passionate about it. A lot of people aren't as faithful with their own religions, BUT the JW's only believe that 144,000 will enter Heaven. they have many more members now, I'm sure. So, according to them, some of them won't be going to heaven. That part I don't understand but I don't get into it.

Answer 4

Because Matthew 28:19 tells us to go make disciples. Isaiah 5:42 gives us the example of Jesus' followers going house to house, so we do also. Now, people move, change their minds, or have a different set of circumstances facing them as time passes. Something could happen to you or you may see something in the bible that may make you think a little differently about JWs, so, unless you ask them to NEVER come back, they will. Even if you ask them NEVER to come back, you will get a knock on your door once a year. We are serious about the commission Jesus gave to preach and make disciples. What if you move out and someone else moves into your place and they never get a witness? The bible holds us responsible for giving them a witness about God and his purposes. It's a job- no, a responsibility under God. Even if you don't agree with us you can at least appreciate what we're trying to do, can't you? If you absolutely don't want us there then put up a "No Trespassing" sign. This usually works, although some of the older ones fail to see the sign.

Answer 5

Do you mean the same person or just in general? Because i live across the street from a house that rents to Jehovah Witness's only. Every 6 months they switch out. And every 6 months i am greated by them asking me to sit and talk with them.

Its not a big deal because i know they do not know. But on the other side of it. New or not, they shouldntr be working the neighbors. Do they not think the last 100 people before them have not already tried the street? But if it was the same person i think i would get a little P O'd. One time i invited them in and told them i was a devil worshiper. They wanted to leave but i said. No, you kept bugging me, now lets talk. I wanna talk about satan! You should have seen their faces.

Answer 6

Possibly they're taught to keep attempting to bring others into their folds and believe they're following their best judgement. I used to keep a couple of pamplets on reincarnation and karma near the door. When one of them stopped by I'd only accept their book if they'd accept mine. When they asked if they could stop over again so we could discuss their book I'd tell them, "Sure, as long as you read this and we discuss it also."
It's been years now since any have stopped back. Find something that works for you and is fun. Maybe "I'm running late for a naked volleyball game. If you want to talk, you'll need to go along. We could use a couple more players" :-)

Answer 7

That question was asked on here before and a couple of JWs answered it. It went like this: if you ask them to leave you alone, they will respect this, and leave you alone for 6 months. I emailed them with "6 months? That's not really very long!" They both replied that "People more around so much in our society that they want to make sure that someone new hasn't moved into your house, so they give you another try." Which, frankly, is crappe. People just don't move every 6 months.

They did say that if they feel "threatened" that they will leave you alone for longer than that. Bother. I'm not going to threaten them! I might try begging. That might be scary enough that they'll leave me alone.

Answer 8

I think its just they are so eager to get others to join their group. When I lived in the city I had told them a few times that I do not share their beleifes but it didn't help. What I did to keep them away was I asked them questions. I asked them (their thoughts not whats in the pamplets) how do they know there is a heaven, why do we die, what happens when we get to heaven, what is the true meaning of sinning, and why they do not celebrate holidays. I allso answered their questions they asked. I was not rude in asking them, I even invited them in the house to sit and talk, but the strange thing was they didnt or wouldnt give me their honest oppion to any of the questions I asked untill they looked it up in their pamplets or bibles, They just bypassed me questions with their own. I would suggest you ask them questions and answer their questions. It worked for me.
You can do what my dad did, when he seen the group comming down the street he got down on his knees and started to pray to Budda! lol. He's christian but he has a sence of humor. The group seen him and never went back to his house.

Answer 9

There are two things you can do to solve the problem.

1. Contact their local leader: Schedule a meeting to discuss how it bothers you their weekly visiting, and ask him to inform his flock to skip your house.

2. Put up a Sign: Doesn't have to be a permanent sign. Just small enough to be seen by them when they approach your house. You can put simple words such as "Please Jehova's Witnesses skip this house", and hang that sign the night before they come to your area. They often visit homes on Saturdays, so hang the sign up on Friday night before you go to be.

The first worked for me. And it was quite good to talk to their leader, because we now work together helping people, even when I totally disagree with that religion.

Answer 10

Because Jesus said that all Christians have a commission to preach and teach about the good news of the kingdom. So maybe you should rephrase your question to say "why dont ALL Christians preach and engage in the door to door disciple making(Jesus and the disciples went from house to house too)".

I believe it is easy to say one is a Christian, but for many this actually does not affect their lives much, at least Jehovahs Witnesses strive to apply Bible principles in all aspects of their lives-even when it is not easy.

If you really do not wish to hear about the kingdom, and the wonderful future Jehovah has for the earth-ask to be placed on the do not call list. But think carefully before you do this- everyone laughed and mocked Noah before the flood too.

Answer 11

why are you so against someone who is trying to profess their faith? not very Christian like to be so ornery. why not just smile and say that you just don't agree with their doctrine and you believe in the way of your faith.
most will thank you for your time and will acknowledge that all they care is that you believe in Christ.
practice what Christ taught-
1 Corinthians 13

...4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

...13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

you might find that your life will be so much happier and stress free that you will be so thankful to know and understand what it truly is about. it is really a good thing.
